Three Tips for Understanding Shakespeare

I look at Sonnet 18 and some dialogue from Romeo and Juliet to develop 3 tips: (1), Poetry is spoken. Who is speaking? Who is listening? (2), When reading lines, READ the punctuation, ignore the lines. (3), Pronouns: most people who find themselves totally lost reading Shakespeare have become confused by pronouns.

This was honestly one of the best Shakespeare analysis on RU-vid! I will be watching all of the videos and would love if you could do some more - super helpful. Thanks!!

@ThomasLewandowski 2 года назад

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.

@hebamalik_ 3 года назад

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

@ThomasLewandowski 3 года назад

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!

What’s the best Shakespeare play

@ThomasLewandowski 3 года назад

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.

@Shoaibkhan-ff7jx 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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.

@stephaniepowers3406 4 года назад

What is “this”😅

@ThomasLewandowski 4 года назад

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!

@stephaniepowers3406 4 года назад

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!!!

@victorvvc1925 3 месяца назад

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

@ThomasLewandowski 3 месяца назад

Generally, I can spell. Can also talk and think. When I do all three at the same time tho, something happens. 🤣

@Brigidz 4 года назад

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.

@rlfrohs6123 4 года назад

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.

@ThomasLewandowski 3 года назад

Thank you for the feedback. I will do better.

@ThomasLewandowski 3 года назад

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

@rlfrohs6123 3 года назад

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.
