  • I’ll share with you some of the most famous short quotations from Shakespeare’s plays, with a little bit of background information to the quotation, and something about the character who is speaking. We will cover quotations from Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, King Lear, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, and Richard III. However much, or however little you already know about Shakespeare, I hope I can encourage you to explore further, by reading one or more of his plays, watching one of the many film versions, or even doing some performing! www.engvid.com/6-famous-quota...

    Thanks. For me it was like returning to my childhood. In the USSR Shakespear's plays were often on TV and radio. I used to see lots of screen adaptations as well as ballets and theatrical performances

    For my final very long paper, I did and Operetic
    Study of some Shakespearean plays that were used for the libretto in various Operas. It was
    Lovely to work on: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A midsummer Nights’ dream, King Lear, perhaps Richard iii- can’t remember all now, but your way of talking brought back to me the everyday kind of wisdom that abounds In Shakespeare. Thank you so very much, Nancy

    I loved the magical Mid-Summer's Night's Dream followed by Merchant of Venice. The complex Hamlet and saw the play too. I think Shakespeare was one of the best poets of our times and I will always be in awe of him. Thank you Gill for your video today. A good Teacher always makes the subject more interesting 😎

    Thanks,Ma'am Gill,for the lesson on wonderful quotations by the eminent playwright William Shakespeare ! Though the plays of Shakespeare,are not quite easy to understand,due to the usage of the ancient style of literary language,unless we are properly guided by a professor of English ! When we know the contents of play,we start enjoying it !
    Thanks 😃

    You have rekindled my interest in Shakespear.
    I've read three of Shakespear's Plays:
    1) Romeo and Juliet
    2) The Merchant of Venice, and
    3) Macbeth.
    Next week I will go to look for "Much Ado About Nothing".
    I like The Oxford Shakespear Editions.
    Once again, thank you!
    You make reading Shakespear's Plays really pleasurable.

    I love this classes early in the morning for me. Years ago I wanted to show off my English with friends and learnt by hart a little verse from Shakespeare’s Midsummer when Puk says (more or less): Two spotted snakes with double tongue, thorny hedghog be not seen, knwets and blind worms do not wrong, be not near to my fairy Queen.
    Thanks for your lovely lessons!

    @BrunaMaraWanderley Рік тому +1

    I loved this class, Gil. It is interesting to notice the class prejudice against the poor people who lived in the villages. The word 'villain' primarily refers to the villager. People who lived in villages were mostly poor (serfs) in the Middle Ages, and even later, with the rise of the bourgeoisie. Therefore, poverty often impelled them to commit crimes, such as stealing animals belonging to the nobility and the clergy, which is why they were labeled as evil and why the evil characters in the tales are still called villains today, without us noticing the historical weight on the word.

    Friendly advice for all of the English learners out there 🌍...you will find it much easier to memorize words and phrases if you physically practice pronouncing them out loud (or reading them out loud). 🗣 The more you exercise your physical senses (sense of hearing, sense of sight, etc.) the more speaking English will feel like an experience, which will be much more difficult to forget. 🧠🇨🇦
