You're welcome, J. And thanks for the support:)

Good summary, G. Thanks!

Thanks!

Haha. I think you mean my annoying verbal tick. "Do you see?" I'm getting better. Thanks for the support, Michael:)

Thanks, Iota. Glad you like it. Hamlet's so messed up.

Thanks, C. Glad you found it useful:)

Thanks, Rook. Glad you found it useful:)

Yeah. BB was Shakespeare-worthy drama. Walter white resembles Macbeth, too.

You're welcome, Leila. Good luck! More detailed analysis is available here: th-cam.com/play/PLPa5TyZ8S8GSq3KiZXAjzndSwCR_h3nPE.html&si=MO8nX820atmzxEVv

Great! Glad you found the video useful. Break a leg!

Thank for the support, Ralph:)

Thanks!

Good point. I hadn't considered that angle. Desperation. We see and hear what we want to see and hear; and we accept what we want to accept. Thanks for the comments.

Screen Recording on Macbook.

Thanks, Yazz. Glad you like it:)

Thanks, A. If I understand "cooked" correctly:)

You're very welcome. Good luck!

You're welcome, Y. Glad you like it:)

Thanks, S. Glad you find it useful!

Thanks, Ralph!

You're welcome, A. Good luck!

Thanks for the support, H. I do have an Othello Playlist. Different format. Themes and characteristics are discussed, and you can find evidence/quotes in the scene-by-scene discussions, Click here: th-cam.com/play/PLPa5TyZ8S8GQuUuEVpd78iTl4t6opgP6L.html&si=7r-nrbFh7bGd700v

Thanks!

Thanks, Ralph. More to come!

@@5QShakespeare assuredly looking forward to future episodes.

Thanks, C. Glad you like it:)

Great! Thanks, Mountain. The psychological angle is certainly what interests me most. To my mind, Shakespeare was the most psychologically insightful writer in English. The true-to-life complexity he could pack into a single play is simply astounding.

Thanks, M. You're very welcome.

No, I haven't read that book, but Rowling's use of the e ching doesn't surprise me. She obviously knows her esoterica. For some reason, we can't live without symbols:)

Interesting. Wise words. The original Star Wars really nailed the archetypes, too. We need these stories.

Thanks, S. I'm a lecturer. These notes are not for a class. I just think HP is this era's most important retelling of the archetypes. So I gave it the close reading treatment for my Shakespeare channel. Glad you like it:)

Thanks, H. Hoping to catch fire eventually:) Appreciate the support.

No, Mark. I hadn't considered that. Interesting. Any aspects of the biblical story in particular you had in mind?

@@5QShakespeare I suppose the narrative that Macbeth is opposed to killing Duncan as he is fearful of the consequences, whereas Lady Macbeth cares less of the consequences and comes up with a flawed plan to avoid the consequences. I guess people were more religious and people draw comparison between the fall of mankind into suffering and the demise of the Macbeths.

@@Mark70609 Ah, yes. I see. Good point.

You’re very welcome. Glad you found it useful:)

Fair enough. Thanks for commenting.

My pleasure, A. I appreciate the thoughtful comments, and the support:)

@@5QShakespeare I'd be really interested to know how you form your thoughts for a lecture of this scale. Like where do you even start? The subject material is so vast!

@@afterzanzibar Vast indeed. Good question. Hmm. We start with what we're interested in. "Analysis" explains it, I suppose. My head is full of the stuff I'm interested in, like everybody's. As I'm reading and re-reading, the particular stuff in my head appears to map onto the stuff on the page. Like: "WOW, that article about psychopathology really sounds like Claudius!" If I can find enough evidence to prove the connection, I'm confident I have a solid claim. That's what Analysis means. In art, music, etc... Does that make sense? That's why there are so many ways to approach a work. Everyone has different stuff in their heads.

@@5QShakespeare Yes, it makes sense. I would love to do videos or write articles or papers like this but I think I just get overwhelmed by the amount of information swimming around my head and don't quite know where to begin and how to structure it. Thank you for the reply.

@@afterzanzibar Yeah. Structure can be tough. And choosing what not to include. Good luck:)

Thanks, D. Appreciate the support:)

My pleasure. Good luck!

For sure. Many students/viewers have said the lectures and notes have helped them greatly. Lots of A's:)

Glad to hear it, G. Thanks for the support. And good luck!

Thanks for the feedback, Z. I've adjusted the volume in future videos.

I can't remember the context. Can you remind me?

At the end of the play, he defiantly accepts his fate. True. But I'd argue there's always something cowardly about bullies and conniving, backstabbing snakes. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, Johnny. Glad you liked it:)

Thanks:)

You're welcome, M. Thanks. Glad you like it:)

Thanks, W. Glad I could help:)

Good to know. Thanks, Fatima. I'll check it out.
