This episode of Shakespeare Explained
This episode of Shakespeare Explained is from the Richard II play.
To hear the speech read in different styles watch my video on the speech being read in three different ways - A Reading Of Richard II - Hollow Crow...
Taken from Richard II act 3 scene 2 the Richard II speech starting, featuring the famous line 'for within that hollow crown' and 'let us sit on the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings,' is the turning point of the play in which the audience behold the tragedy of Richard. Convinced of the divine right of the king, we see the realisation that he is mortal and fallible come pouring in upon his consciousness. That is why taking this speech from Richard II line by line is the most effective way to sense the emotions.
Shakespeare leaves us with a recognition that we all have feet of clay. That no matter our achievements, accolades or prominence, we are all but a breath, a little scene in the endless play that is life and history. That Death rules as king and plays us like a joker plays a joke.
Watching the world of, perhaps the most eloquent and grandiose of his characters, begin to disintegrate into dust, allows Shakespeare to fill us with an almost visceral sense of transience which catches us mid breath in its force. Truly a magnificent piece of rhetoric.
These videos are intended as shakespeare talks which have shakespeare explained line by line or at least take the study of shakespeare speeches in depth.
The way to understand the bards works is to simply understand what is being said. He wrote for everybody, and though the structure of language has changed, it is still easily understood if you take the small effort to listen to some videos which help to see short speeches of shakespeare explained in depth.
And that is why I have created the Shakespeare explained series. Line by line Shakespeare which will enable you to become so familiar with his words, that you will be able to go away and enjoy the finest literature ever produced in the English language. Once you have discovered William Shakespeare properly, you will wish you had known him all of your life and will roll your eyes when somebody says: Why studyShakespeare?
Please take the time to watch the video all the way through, or save it to watch at a later time.
I would very much like to hear your thoughts on the videos and your own interpretation of Shakespeare and your favourite passages.
