Hey guys,
i'm having to do a speech on Hamlet that is going to be pre-recorded.

The question is - "With close reference to the language of TWO soliloquies, analyse its style and structure to show how both contribute to the plays main concerns"

I am thinking of doing Hamlets- "To be, or not to be" as well as Claudius' "O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven".
Obviously the speeches main concern is to demonstrate how the language features makes meaning to the play.

If you guys have any soliloquies that you think are better please tell me, also if you guys could shoot some ideas on what to write about and how to structure the speech.

Thanks :D

Making your structuring question a tad more specific would help =].

"To be or not to be" is cliched and overdone, choose something else if you can help it. Good luck!

'T'is an unweeded garden' in Act 1. I personally liked that soliloquy.
