Your videos are very educational and easily understandable, good work! I believe if they taught kids in school this way, they would be more interested and would look forward to going to school :)

Another great breakdown. I know it’s an old video, but +1 for your engagement.

Excellent video as was your video on Dostoevsky. You do not talk too slow. Would like to see more videos from you.

I love this video so muuuuch !

Quick question - is there really any definitive evidence that Claudius was guilty of murdering King Hamlet, Hamlet's father? There is a lot in the actual performance of Claudius that counters Hamlet's perception of him, and Hamlet certainly questions himself in believing whether or not Claudius is a murderer. First, the whole idea came from a ghost whom Hamlet cannot trust is the ghost of his dad. Second, Hamlet certainly does not seem a good candidate for the crown so Claudius naturally is the better choice for king at the opening of the play. Finally, the mousetrap play is not very air tight. It doesn't depict a brother killing his brother, it depicts a nephew killing his uncle. Leading up to this Hamlet has been acting quite intentionally like a crazy person. Claudius' reaction is not a guilty one, but fearful that Hamlet has just expressed his own intention to kill his uncle. If you look at the rest of the play from the point of view that Claudius believes Hamlet intends to murder him, it certainly changes the subtext.

Yes, the audience knows definitively that Claudius is guilty, because we hear him confess privately "O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven; It hath the primal eldest curse upon't, A brother's murder." (Said just before his prayer.) However, you could certainly take the confession out and reimagine the play with Claudius being innocent. It's a more natural change than having Hamlet secretly be a crossdresser or want to sleep with his mom (which have both been done), since, for drama's sake, Claudius's guilt is intentionally left ambiguous before that point in the play. The foundation is definitely there, like you've said.
