As we continue our discussion of Hamlet, let's look at the most famous soliloquy in the play, the grandaddy of them all: "To Be or Not To Be..." (3.1.64-99)
For this week's post, conduct a search on YouTube for two different interpretations of this critical soliloquy. You can simply search for "To Be or Not to Be," and you should find multiple clips. Please embed each video in your blog post, (try to embed the actual videos, not just the links) so your readers can see the videos you chose, and write a short comparison/contrast of the two versions of the soliloquy. What do you notice about what each Hamlet emphasizes in his delivery of this speech? Which version do you prefer and why?
Then, for Thursday's class, please be sure to comment on one of your peers' posts.
