      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.

    The pronoun "this" is referring to the subject of the poem, which is the lover, the woman.

    • @ThomasLewandowski
      @ThomasLewandowski  4 роки тому +8

      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!

    • @ThomasLewandowski
      @ThomasLewandowski  4 роки тому +1

      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.

    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.

    • @ThomasLewandowski
      @ThomasLewandowski  3 роки тому

      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”😅

    • @ThomasLewandowski
      @ThomasLewandowski  4 роки тому +3

      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!

    What's with your spelling dude? Pysically? 🤔
    The pronoun tip is very helpful though! I think those might be very confusing when ready Shakespeare

    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.
