Haven't met shakespeare in my whole life, and I'm intended to learn his works for pleasure.. Looking forward to read his works. Thank you for such a helpful and thorough video!
This was honestly one of the best Shakespeare analysis on UA-cam! I will be watching all of the videos and would love if you could do some more - super helpful. Thanks!!
Thanks! I've just been thinking about that this morning. My students are reading Macbeth, so stay tuned for annotations and commentary on Act One sometime next week.
Awesome, Heba Malik! But how could that be? "So long lives this, and this give's life to thee." If "this" is a woman, would that mean that she's giving "eternal" life to herself? I think that the "this" is referring to the poem itself, the "eternal lines to time." Isn't Shakespeare fun!
Some would say King Lear, others would say Hamlet. For me, it's whichever play I'm studying, the one I feel I know the best. The only thing everyone agrees on: it's not Titus Andronicus.
This "this" refers to the poem itself. So the poem becomes, among other things, an exploration of ego and literary immortality. "Eternal lines to time" is a clue.
What is this? Always an important question. Because this can be so many different things. This particular this refers to the poem itself. The literal antecedent of the pronoun "this" in the last line is "eternal lines to time." Eternal lines to time = this particular poem!
Thomas Lewandowski thanks! I’m just starting my Shakespeare journey and it’s going to be a wild ride! Thanks for all your videos! They are so helpful!!!
So what is 'this'? If you're going to give a tutorial DON'T make the student guess the answer to your question. That's just playing games and is a common ploy of the worst of teachers. ALWAYS give the answer to any questions you put so that the student knows whether or not their guess, or assumption, was right.
Agreed! Robert Ahdoot slays it in yaymath explaining Alg to Calculus making it sooo easy. He did not even read the line correctly from Friar.Plus, he read internal when the word was external. NOOO help at all.
Thomas Lewandowski If you go to Yaymath.org all of the worksheets and videos are right there. Maybe watching the interaction with his students will help you. He also has all the test and quizzes. It would be great to have someone in English that could be what he is to math.

@@ThomasLewandowski Hi Thomas, I have sent you an email. Thanks!
I love Shakespeare. That man was a bloody genius x
Thank you for your explanations they are so helpful!
I love Shakespeare.
What is your equipment setup, very good production.
The pronoun "this" is referring to the subject of the poem, which is the lover, the woman.
Awesome, Heba Malik! But how could that be?

If "this" is a woman, would that mean that she's giving "eternal" life to herself? I think that the "this" is referring to the poem itself, the "eternal lines to time." Isn't Shakespeare fun!
This was great, here I come Shakespeare 🤗
GREAT video! Thank you!
What’s the best Shakespeare play
Some would say King Lear, others would say Hamlet. For me, it's whichever play I'm studying, the one I feel I know the best. The only thing everyone agrees on: it's not Titus Andronicus.
Amazing ty
Thank you 💕
I think the 'this' pronoun belongs to 'men' in sonnet 18 Please tell me if I'm right? If wrong please tell me the right answer.
This "this" refers to the poem itself. So the poem becomes, among other things, an exploration of ego and literary immortality. "Eternal lines to time" is a clue.

Right back at you, Shoaib Khan! From Arkansas, USA!
@@ThomasLewandowski ☺ please make some more videos on William Shakespeare sonnets
What is “this”😅

What's with your spelling dude? Pysically? 🤔
The pronoun tip is very helpful though! I think those might be very confusing when ready Shakespeare
Generally, I can spell. Can also talk and think. When I do all three at the same time tho, something happens. 🤣

Thank you for the feedback. I will do better.
Thank you for the feedback I will try to be more like Robert Ahdoot of yaymath.

This one question was quite obvious though. I don't blame him for acting this way but I get your point.
