I love this play, which is probably a good thing as I'm just about to start writing my final assignment of uni on it! It's kind of fitting really, it wouldn't have felt right leaving university having not studied some of Will's work! This soliloquy is just beautiful. My favourite out of the play. I was lucky enough to see the RSC performance a couple of years ago with David Tennant (2nd row from the front- boom!) and it was the best RSC performance I've seen! Anyway, it seems fitting late at night to be thinking about this.
'and by a sleep we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is to heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished- to die: to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream'
