From William Shakespeare's immortal play, circa 1599-1601. Prince Hamlet of Denmark - mourning his father's death, meets the king's ghost and learns he was murdered by his own brother (Hamlet's uncle, Claudius), who now reigns as king and is married to his mother (Queen Gertrude). Hamlet, torn asunder by this revelation, swears revenge... Enjoy and please, RATE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE!

  • this helped me so much. i have to memorize this within the next two hours... *puts on ipod* K GOTTA MEMORIZE

  • Wow! Thank you for the compliment! I am glad I could help. What are you memorizing this for? A class? An actual production of "Hamlet?" I am rather intrigued. Take care!

  • It seems we share taste! I've been thinking of a while for uploading some Shakespeare quotes sometime hehe - I was thinking of some Iago, and Hamlet's 'to be or not to be' in particular. You have a fine grasp of the language and tone. It's great to see the variety of stuff you do! 5 stars for this, absolutely.

  • I think I have a new best friend! LOL! Thank you so much for you kind words, Steve! Yes, go for it! Post your interpretation of The Bard's works. I am there! I have yet to do my other selections from Shakespeare, including Romeo & Juliet with a fellow YouTuber AND Richard III's opening soliloquy! Thanks again and take care.

    Thank you for making Hamlet sexy!!! He was always excessively whiney to me before.

  • I just needed it for an English project.

  • actually i read romeo and juliet

  • Good for you! I am sure Shakespeare would have be proud.

  • i agree with u, i read this in 9th grade in my english class and im the only one who acted out the lines,the rest of the class just "read" them also. lol im such an actress. haha

  • Thank you... I am so moved by your kind words. It means a lot to me to have given you motivation to perform scenes from plays you love. I just saw your "Light's Crazy Laugh" video and was wowed by it! So when someone as talented as you gives me a compliment like this..., thank you. Thank you so much!

  • THAT.

    WAS.

    AWESOME!

    Seriously!

    its always cool to see someone do Shakespearian language WELL!

    In fact, you good sir have inspired me with this (as well as your other spoken word pieces) to do a scene from one of my favorite plays as well!
