Tristan, you are perfect for this role you have chosen. I cannot imagine someone being better than you at inspiring us to love & understand English literature. Thank-you ❤🙏
Excellent analysis of Julius Caesar, Tristan. I enjoyed every moment of it. I just hope the message about today's politicians gets across before total damage is done and all is lost.
Tristan this is so excellent. You make this such an intriguing way to see this that I have never thought about. I am watching a second time and who knows maybe more.
I just want to say thank you so much and how lucky I feel to have found your channel. I am a 69-year-old woman who did not go to college and has been trying to teach myself how to read Shakespeare. You are so articulate and easy to listen to. Thank you for all you give us.!
Tristan your analysis was so deep and exciting. I have to listen to it again. I admire you. 😊 Thank you for warning us against all the sweet sounding scams.❤
Hi, Chris. Thanks for the positive feedback. I will be doing more on Shakespeare gradually. Have you checked my "Shakespeare Explained" playlist. I have done several speeches on that list.
Your reading into that Shakespeare's drama renders its suprisingly modern character. And in that the play is not an ancient tragedy with its obscurity. On the contrary, its prominent figures are becoming contemporary in their mode of conduct.
Hello, I really like your videos. Can I make a request? I don't think any good resources exist for sensation novels and authors like GWM Reynolds. IT would be great if you could do a video on him and others like him.
Hi, great analysis of the play. however Finland has by reports solved it's homeless problem. So you are right politicians can achieve great things for their people they just don't want too. Robyn
There are so many factors like size of country, GDP, population, and a myriad of others that make the difference. The same solution that succeeded in Finland may not scale, up or down, and be applicable to others countries that do not have Finland’s unique composition. Too many factors to objectively say the problem is leaders not wanting to do it.
What a coincidence, I've just started reading Julius Caesar when you launched this video :-) Admittedly I found Caesar a bit repelling character at first. I reread his speech to Antony about "fatter men" and I still feel I do not understand it too well. It also surprised me actually how easily manipulated he was, as for a "northern star"... Now he believes Calphurnia and decides to stay at home, and the next thing we know is him being easily talked off of it by one of the conspirators. But the fat men! Why, who are they to be "not dangerous"? Does "fat" mean lazy and not active? If so, a great leader would not like to surround himself with this lot, I do not think. Ah, so many controversy :-) Thank you again for a great lecture and best wishes! Kath
I suppose the words "Even with the sword that killed thee" may also refer to Cassius's awareness that the real 'sword' that killed caesar, his poisonous propaganda, was turned against him by Anthony. Possibly why Shakespeare used the same sword in both deaths, as a metaphor for the propaganda? Great video Tristan - and never so relevant as in this propaganda saturated post-2020 world.
Brilliant reading. The problem still is that the English dictionaries you are following is propagating too. Hamartia is misrecognition. It is the power of English literary studies that keep trampling on Aristotelian terms.
I've been manipulated. So sorry when I've found out. But i ove books traches me at the history im living in. Yes Shakespeare teaches me so many things. And i only got an AA degree in college.
If a Righteous Man Nobel was to be a Good Leader. He has to be somewhat Authoritarian. Not allowing certain Liberties. Dictatorship would also be needed most likely. As the One Mans Rule. The Good Nobel Leader. Would need absolute power to rule. Based on Virtuous Rule. Threats to power would need to be eliminated. A righteous man leads, the people prosper. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors. His rule as good for the people. Brought in an age of relative peace, calm, and stability and re-stablised the Empire. The Republic becoming an Empire. Ruler of the Known World. ROME. Power is something that Rises and Falls.

This play parallels with the Italian American mafia it reminded me of the film The Godfather
Those mafiosos are the Ancient Romans' descendants, after all😊
@@magorzataniewiadomska5914 exactly, if you like that movie you'll probably most likely like this play vice versa
