For this episode you will need to have memorized the skeleton of Hamlet’s speech beginning 'I have of late' where he describes his current mood and then he expounds upon his perception of mankind in general. It is a marvellous speech and great to quote when you are indulging in a bout of cynicism. Here I make suggestions for the extra words yet to be memorized. Many of them fit naturally around the keywords already learned but some smaller words such as ‘and’ ‘for’ ‘but’ ‘it’ ‘that’ can trip you up so I will cover them all. Use what images help or will perhaps lead you to finding your own. Finally, to remind you, you are not learning line by line but thought by thought with their embellishments.
