When I lack understanding of a chapter, especially because English isn't my first language, your videos really help me wrap mind around it. Thanks for making these.
My pleasure:) Glad I can help.
An excellent commentary. Hamlet is by far my most favourite Shakespeare play, I have read it so many times I think I can almost quote it word for word. You have certainly given me some things to consider and I may very well need to revise some of my own interpretations. I will re listen to your video to see where your readings differ to mine and see where it takes me. All in all, a fascinating critique and I have subscribed to your channel in order to watch other videos in your series.
Thanks for the kind words, Christopher. They mean a lot. Everytime I reread one of Shakespeare's plays, I discover something new. I'm sure you've got lots of insights that could expand my understanding, too.
