Additional Notes
——————–
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assonance – the long e sound.
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 59 is highly irregular – mid line ending.\u00a0 Funky meter – is it a bit of prose…or is it an aside?
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 60 is irregular…
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 62 mid line stop, mid foot (this happens a lot in this speech.) – still scans.
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 63 why mistress – look it up?\u00a0 Lots of feminine endings and alliteration.
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 74 – he backs off.\u00a0 New beat here\u00a0 starts with an irregularity after full stop – trochee.
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 80 mid stop at explanation of Horatio’s task.\u00a0 Elision on occulted?
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 82 “we” – repeats his rogue and peasant slave speech, but uses we not I.
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 what is depth of feeling between hamlet and horatio?
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 why this speech?\u00a0 no new information, except his feeling for horatio.
\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Line 84 “vulcan’s stithy”\u00a0 nice solid metaphor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
