    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.

    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.
