Soliloquy

I have an idea of which soliloquy I am going to do. I think that I will probably do the one where Hamlet says "Frailty thy name is woman." It is an interesting speech because it is really the first time when the reader gets to see the real feelings of Hamlet. This speech takes place after Claudius and Gertrude finish talking about the death of old Hamlet. Another reason I think this is an important speech is because our English teacher said it was. But besides that, it is easy to see lots of emotion in this soliloquy. There are many easy and simple words that show emotion such as stale and flat and rank and gross. Because of these words, it will be a lot easier to portray the emotion present in this soliloquy.

Yeah, I think that that would be a cool scene to do. I didn't really think of all the emotion that's in that scene until you pointed it out. Those words would make it easier to portray Hamlet accurately.
