Episode description

Move over, Hamlet!  Now that we've looked at what a soliloquy is, it's time to dive into how to write the classic soliloquy. Emily guides you through the different parts of a classic soliloquy so that you can begin to write or revise your own work.  

We also share some listener feedback!  Have a comment you'd like to be shared on-air?  You can tweet at us @hamlet2hamilton or contact us at hamlettohamilton@gmail.com.  We love to hear your insights.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode looks at two speeches for characters who are processing through soliloquy sexual aggression.  Isabella in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, and Sir Gawain in Emily C. A. Snyder's The Table Round.  Sexual aggression itself is not dwelt on, except insofar as it relates to the playwright's recognizing the context of the soliloquy they have created.
