I love the exercise/exploration of taking the final word in a line only and going through the whole speech. It tends to boil it down to essence or at least starts to develop it....also....actors tend to 'drop' the last words but we should not do that...William wants us to feel those last words....very much so....this is very expensive real estate and there is nothing extra!
Fy is an old Swedish word, it has no exact translation to English but it essentially means ”fuck that”. Interesting to see it used by Shakespeare, brings my thoughts to the Viking heritage of England.
I think they started to invade other countries at some point of History, because everybody invaded them first... they have heritage from the Vikings, the Celts, the Romans, the Anglo-saxon natives, the French... I had to study Word Formation in English, and there are a lot of bothering, coinage, suffixes ans prefixes, etc... British History is very entertaining, as well as Language History. Despite their flematic nature, or appaerance, I think they are really very passionate, although artists are the best to demonstrate it. For our, the Latins, they have the image of "cold" people, as most people from the North, but that is just because we are a bit noisy if compared with them... but I think that is changing nowadays... we are a little calmer and they are more... alive 🤣🤣🤣 with more blood in their veins... I like it...
IDK if Paapa would reply to this, what would your thoughts be to a return of heckling as happened in original performances?I think you could play off of it.
I wonder sometimes. How somebody, not an actor, not even a person who seems to feel or act the same way as others would approach Hamlet. Maybe I should try it.
That commas thing didn't really resonate with me, and the given example just made it all the more dissonant. I feel like he's zoning in on how to describe the world he's just entered. "weary, stale, flat and unprofitable" aren't changes in thought, they're concentric circles, trying to peel away at how he feels. And the commas in between repeated words definitely are not changes in direction, because that repitition means that the subject is pondering on a thought or a feeling. "fie, fie!"
Such an amazing actor. WOw

Very good. Keep doing educational videos for actors. It's very useful.
Damn this chap can act
I enjoyed watching this video, thanks for uploading it.
This is fantastic! How am I just finding this now? This just made my lesson today a bit more fun.
Shakespeare in the Classroom just shared a similar lesson. Powerful reinforcement via RSC video. Thanks!
I'm no actor but this is so interesting
