Hi it's Nicole. I talk about books on my channel, especially English classics. I post once a week - reading journals, character studies, book reviews, secondhand book shopping vlogs and monthly wrap ups. Thanks for stopping by and nice meeting you!
Cymbeline pt.1 // A Jacobean play by Shakespeare // Shaketember 2024
Welcome to Shaketember 2024! Thank you for joining me. Whether you’re interested to know a bit more about Cymbeline and find out if it’s worth reading, or maybe you’ve read it already and can’t wait to have a discussion, I’m really glad you’re here.
In this video, I’m going to give a rough storyline of the first three Acts of Cymbeline and will come back in two weeks’ time with Cymbeline part 2, to discuss characters and themes in a bit more detail. So if you haven’t started reading it already, you have about two weeks in between. I’ll do the same thing for King Lear, which is the second play I chose for this year.

Hedda Gabler by Ibsen // A Tragedy of Sublime Beauty
Просмотров 22414 дней назад
Here are some of my thoughts on a play Hedda Gabler by 19th century Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, about a woman who’s dissatisfied with her life, takes hold of an opportunity to achieve some meaning for her life, but ends with a fatal consequence. Ibsen is one of the founders of modernism in theatre, often referred to as "the father of realism".

Mrs Dalloway & Virginia Woolf's letters and diary entries about the novel
Brilliant video. Thanks Nicole. Looking forward to part 2 😊
Thank you!
This play reminds me of fairy tales too. Having an evil stepmother and a servant unable to follow the order to kill a princess.
Ah yes I haven't thought of the servant bit. That is very fairy tale like!
7:41 Thank you for explaining that. So confusing.
pleasure :)
4:02 Romeo being exciled!
This is fun. I’ve never used the time stamp. 2:24 Egeus didn’t want Hermia to marry the man she loved. Oh Cornelia! Yes that’s a good match.
Oh yes Hermia and her father that's very similar too!
Glad you posted when you did! Just started Cymbelne after reading Titus Andronicus. I guess Cymbeline is a mix, a "best of Shakespeare" play. The plot appears to have three lines at once, which seems to get wrapped up somehow. I am interested in seeing how Will pulls this one out of his hat!! And also how it compares to The Tempest.
Hope you're having fun reading Cymbeline! Yes it feels like a mixture of many of his early plays. Would have loved to know what was going on in his head when he wrote this one!
I read this for the first time (I think) this month as an audiobook, but I really felt like I knew it already because there are so many similarities to other plays as you say - I wasn't quick enough to do all the time-stamped comments but we made a lot of the same connections. I feel like with it being a late play, perhaps he just shook up a cocktail of successful tropes from previous plays (rebellious daughters, cross dressing, people thought to be dead that aren't, evil murderous step-parents, jealous lovers...) and Cymbeline was what came out. Had no idea about the Jacobean plays and the link to referring to Britain over England - that's subtle and fascinating. Thanks for a very interesting video.
Glad to hear you made the same connections! Yes - would love to know what was going on in Shakespeare's head! Pleasure!
@@adayofsmallthings I definitely don't think it's one of his best, particularly compared to the other late ones which are masterpieces. It would be so interesting to know what he thought of it and how much time went into it compared to Lear, say.
The scene in the chamber is very creepy. It seems to feature in a lot of illustrations. 17:13
Thanks for these really interesting insights! I'm enjoying reading Cymbeline - found the BBC version hard going though. || Leaving the city a but like _A Midsummer Night's Dream_?
Yes the scene in the chamber is very creepy indeed! And yes - it seems to be a favourite among illustrators!
@@royreadsanything Pleasure! The BBC one featuring Helen Mirren? I know... How does the more recent RSC one look in comparison?
@adayofsmallthings Hopefully we'll watch RSC next week. I thought the BBC Helen Mirren production was rather subdued, almost lugubrious. And they cut a great Imogen speech! which is a shame as she is unconscious a lot of the time. 💤
I love your game of “what does it remind you of”! 😂 There are definitely similarities with King Lear. And Romeo and Juliet and Othello…. The king manipulated by his wife reminded me of Macbeth. Though not a king, Macbeth’s ambition is largly the result of his wife’s prompting.
Glad you liked it :) Agree about Macbeth!
I got a copy of Cymbeline for Shaketember and I've read the first three acts thus far. Imogen is great! Love your comparative approach to talking about this play relative to other Shakespeare plays. It's reminiscent of Marjorie Garber's approach in her Shakespeare After All.
Thank you, I hope it's helpful. Garber's essays are wonderful! Glad to hear you enjoy the play so far!
@@adayofsmallthings Nicolle, I've found your vlogs to be very useful when it comes to Shakespeare. I never would have thought about reading Cymbeline if not for your vlog and Shaketember2024. But it's been great, though I confess to becoming confused at times about whether scenes were in Italy or "Briton." Oh...and Posthumus' discourse on the battle(s) was mostly incomprehensible to me (grin).
Incredible analysis like always
Thank you!
I just watched this year! And quite enjoyed it
Oh great you had an opportunity to watch it - I feel like it's not put on stage very often :)
Thank you, Nicole. You always help me see the plays more clearly. I looked forward to your next video.
That's great to hear - very glad it's helpful! Thank you :)
Great review! I'm translating the book right now into portugueses for my internship in a publishing house. You have a very interesting view of the story and themes of the book. Good job!
@@nunotorres6314 oh how fun! Thank you :) hope the translation goes well!
@@adayofsmallthings thank you!
Shaketember sounds fun. I have only read Macbeth of the six plays, but I did see a performance of Cymbeline during my Uni years (40 years ago!). I'm not sure what I'll choose from those on offer, Twelfth Night and The Tempest are the most appealing to me.
Glad to hear you’re interested! Hope you enjoy them whichever you choose :)
Very excited about Shaketember... Cymbeline is a definite to watch (x3) and read
Hello! Nice hearing from you! Times three? 😆 which version will you be watching? It’s a bit hard to find.
@adayofsmallthings Hi Nicole - I've got BBC version 1983, from when they did all of Shakespeare; RSC 2017 and a 2014 movie with Ethan Hawke, sometimes repackaged with the title 'Anarchy'.
Love your book choices, Nicolle, as well as your discussions of them. The Oresteia is fantastic.
Thank you - so kind! Look forward to reading Oresteia!
Looking forward to Shaketember discussions. I'll be reading Cymbeline and maybe I'll reread King Lear. Good excuse to do that. Thanks for hosting this Nicolle
Pleasure! Hope you enjoy both!
Shakespeare is fun for me too (not homework). I look forward to participating. Of the plays you and your co-hosts have chosen, there’s only one I have not yet seen performed-Cymbeline-although I did participate in a readalong of the play a few years ago. I’m excited that I will see Cymbeline performed in Stratford Ontario in September. The week that I am at the festival, I will also see Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night. The Twelfth Night production will have a gender-swapped Malvolio, which was also a choice made by the director in a Twelfth Night show that I attended in Vancouver earlier this month. I saw a horror clown rendition of Titus Andronicus a few years ago. Polythene sheets were laid over the laps of people in the front row to protect them from the gore. And a memorable performance of The Tempest at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton was created with one third of the cast being Deaf and using sign language. I wanted to see it a second time but all of the shows were sold out. Thanks for co-hosting this event!
That’s very exciting - that you’re going to watch Cymbeline performed next month! Yes I watched a Twelfth Night with a woman playing Malvolio too. She was an excellent actor. Oh dear the Titus Andronicus you watched - that sounds intense! It’s so great you were able to watch so many shows! Hope you enjoy Shaketember!
@@adayofsmallthings Thanks Nicole.
I love this bookshop! When I lived near Edinburgh I used to visit regularly, the staff are so friendly :)
Yes it’s lovely!
Yay Shaketamber! And very excited to hear that you’re heading to the Sam Wanamaker playhouse soon-it’s the most magical venue!
Hopefully soon!
This is really helpful. Thanks!
Pleasure :) glad it was helpful!
Thank you. 🎉 Can you also talk about "To All The Virtuous Ladies in General"😊
Pleasure! Thanks for the suggestion! Will keep in mind and have a look :)
What a brilliant review… so touching. I feel a lot of sympathy for Hedda, she is horrid, but also she feels so lost. I know she has it in her to be better but she just feels caught up in a world that gives her no way to find her soul. I think the play is incredible and one I think about often.
Yes I completely agree. She feels lost and has no way to find her soul - precisely! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too.
I must read and then watch immediately!
Haha, hope you like it - let me know!
Hi Nicole. A very relevant and deep analysis of Hedda Gabler. A job well done, Applause, Applause! We read this play at Ben’s Hardcore Literature Book Club last year. What can I say Nicole. You are getting better and better at your analysis. Indeed, you are gifted. Best wishes🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for the encouragement - So kind of you :) I didn’t realise you’d read world classics too - but yes of course. Glad to hear it’s in Ben’s curriculum!
Thanks for this, very enjoyable, I love Elizabethan poetry - all those perfectly wrought urns so rich in literary/classical allusion & discursive/imagist language. Really appreciated your spotlight on one of my favourites.
Really glad to hear you love Elizabethan poetry! They’re definitely rich in language. I have so much more to learn. Thank you - glad you liked the video :)
Really looking forward to this spotlight on wonderment. Thanks for hosting.
Thank you and pleasure!
A very thoughtful analysis, as usual! I hadn't considered that Aunt Julia serves as a contrast to Hedda in embodying the theme of beauty in the context of death ... but you're right, she is a more direct foil than Thea in that sense. As to Tesman, in the production I saw, the actor made an interesting choice to play Tesman as more clued-in than he seems in the text. At certain moments he clearly saw her true nature and how things stood between her and Judge Brack, yet willfully turned a blind eye (as you said), either because he was too intimidated by her or just wanted to cling to his fantasy of her. I actually *do* find Hedda likable. She's neither kind nor totally stable, but I sympathize with her feeling of being trapped. She is so afraid of scandal and desperate for respectability, and somehow those forces are just strong enough inside (and outside) of her to suppress her desire for beauty and power and meaning -- until the moment when she sees no way to achieve either of those ends. Plus, she's just ... fun. What did you think of the part when she burns Lovborg's and Thea's "idea baby"? That part gave me chills. In a lecture I attended, one professor pointed out that, to a writer, burning a manuscript is not a trivial plot device. We should view it as carrying enormous significance for her characterization, which I thought was a great point.
Oooh interesting if Tesman knows and willfully turns a blind eye. Yes burning the manuscript - I wasn’t sure so didn’t mention it. I think she feels empowered to have the manuscript in her control. She burns it to make sure there’s no getting back together for Lovborg and Thea; and Lovborg will always love her best. So it’s ironic when Tesman is committed to making another book (making a new baby) with Thea, as the result of Hedda burning the first ‘baby’. She can foresee when Tesman and Thea work together every evening in Aunt Juliana’s house, they’d fall in love (like Lovborg did with Thea) and Tesman would stop loving her best. And it’s all because she burnt the first book! She not only lost Lovborg, she’d lose Tesman too. Maybe killing the ‘idea baby’ foreshadows her killing herself and the baby inside her too? Just my very scattered thought! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s wonderful to be able to discuss this.
@@adayofsmallthings Yes! I think you are absolutely onto what this action represents: the futility of Hedda's attempts to direct her fate and that of the people around her. And I hadn't connected the death of the manuscript to her own death - that was a revelation! Thanks again for discussing with me, Nicole.
Hedda is Iago's Scandinavian cousin!
Oooooh interesting - why? Because she’s deceitful?
@@adayofsmallthings Not only deceitful, but that she, like Iago, revels in evil. Hedda urges the man to kill himself beautifully. Hedda is not Nora from The Dolls House, she is no one I'd want mad at me.
I really enjoyed your July wrap up, I did have a little chuckle when you mentioned who wrote A Dissertation Upon Roast Pig!! I would definitely like to read Cider with Rosie, I've been wanting too for a while!! Thank you for a lovely video and a lovely wrap up!! Have a great weekend!!xx
Thank you! Are you a fan of Charles Lamb at all? Cider with Rosie is lovely - hope you enjoy it too :)
@@adayofsmallthings I hadn't heard of him until your video, the book does sound interesting though!! Cider With Rosie is definitely going to be added to books I want to read!!
Thank you once again Nivole, the only thing I have read from Ibsen is the Doll’s house, which I found extremely good, movingly disturbing, with the theme of woman’s freedom and happiness in this world so brillantly dealt with. I am going to read Hedda Gabler❤
I’m definitely interested in reading more Ibsen. Will keep the Doll’s House in mind - thanks for sharing! Hope you like Hedda Gabler - let me know! Thank you :)
This looks great. A bit spoiled for choice. Leah is in my opinion the greatest play. Have seen in 4 times (including at Stratford). Tempted by Cymbeline -a play I don’t know Saw the tempest in July Twelfth night is a favoirite I’m tempted by
Sounds like you watched quite a lot of Shakespeare! Hope you get to read (or re-read) some in September!
Ibsen is fantastic!
Yes I enjoyed Hedda Gabler! Any recommendations what next?
Hi.. how was the stephanie mccarter's translation? Were you able to complete it? Because I'm just interested in buying that book very soon...
@@anbuchelvan hello! The translation is fine. But I haven’t completed it. I think it’s more to do with the book rather than the translation. I find the stories within stories hard to keep track of. Hope you get on with it better than I do!
@@adayofsmallthings ok....thanks for the reply, good day!! 😅😊
This will be my first ever Shaketember...I'm thinking MacBeth, as I already own it and Twelfth Night 😊 looking forward to this!!
@@sjmsutherland so glad you’re joining us! I hope you enjoy them!
Ooohhhhhhh how exciting all this is. I am super interested in the Jonathon Bate books you mention and might have to read those too. I really want to read Faust too… so much to read!! I am reading the Faerie Queene right now. I read one canto each evening and listen to the audible read by David Timson. He is excellent reading it and I follow along in my book. Like you I don’t like the cover at it could have been much more inventive. Some of the book is a bit tedious but then some is really very very excellent. I am currently much enjoying book three and have half an hour of laughing every evening.. it can be very funny. I liked the first half of the Aeneid and found it tailed off at the half way point and LOVED the Oresteia and Hedda Gabler..these are all fairly recent reads so I think we are similar reading trajectories… I am also on a Keats journey and loving that. He was much influenced by Edmund Spenser and Shakespeare Ps hamlet is at the RSC in the new year
Agree - so much to read! Oh how interesting we ARE reading a lot of the same titles! So glad to hear you find Faerie Queen funny too - I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be! I just finished Hedda Gabler and loved it too. I just made a video about it. Would love to hear your thoughts. I don't know anything about Keats - will bear it in mind!
I am hoping to start The Faerie Queene soon as well and wanted to mention a book I have found: The Faerie Queene: A Reader's Guide by Elizabeth Heale. I have a used copy on order. It looks like it will be very helpful in reading the book.
@@elizabethjonczyk6818 oh great we can swap opinions on the Faeries Queene! Thanks for sharing the Readers Guide. Will keep it in mind! Hope you enjoy the read!
I'm reading Hedda Gabler now after seeing an adaptation at the Stratford Festival in Canada. Hedda is a fascinating character. I'd love to hear your thoughts! I've also been trying to catch up on Greek drama, so you are motivating me to go back to Sophocles and Aeschylus. You can definitely trace the influence on Shakespeare and early modern drama.
@@christinakaras6452 She is! Very glad to hear you’re reading it too and are interested in discussing it. I wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested. I’m excited to find out more about Greek drama and their influence on Shakespeare and others!
Early Ibsen is fun, try Brand which is a meditation on true faith and what it can lead to. Ibsen became a realist and then became Ibsen. And he started by writing plays about Vikings, popular at the time in Norway. I'd love to see one!
@@donaldkelly3983 oooh interesting. Will try that one soonish. Thanks for recommending! Vikings! I need to find out more about him!
So many interesting works you mention - I need to get started on Shakespeare but following up Arthurian legend sounds exciting for later in the autumn
Thank you! Hope you enjoy them when you get there :)
Why a French author wrote about the Arthurian legends? England has had a notable French cultural influence vis-a-vis the Normans since 1066 (French Vikings) For a long time, the lingua franca at the court was French. Hope this helps🧐
For propaganda purposes.
@@joelharris4399 🤔 very intriguing. Thanks for explaining for me! 🙂
@@adayofsmallthings Merci madame!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Shakespeare’s contemporaries. I’ve been meaning to try Marlowe for ages, but never got around to it.
@@genteelblackhole thank you :) will do my best!
I'm planning to start The Faerie Queene this autumn too and go into 2025. I'm looking forward to King Lear and Cymbeline in September!
Elizabeth! I hope to start the Faerie Queene this fall too!
@@elizabethbrink3761 yay, let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy the plays :)
@@elizabethjonczyk6818 Libby! That's so exciting to hear! We'll have to chat about it as we read!
The Oresteia is wonderful, it deals with many interesting themes, such as justice, revenge, law etc. Paradise Lost is one of my favourite poems and I also loved the first part of Faust, but the second part I absolutely didn't understand at all, even after a reread. I'd recommend The Doll House by Henrik Ibsen. Hope you enjoy all the books you chose! 😊
I’m slightly intimidated by the Oresteia, as well as Faust, to be honest! Thanks for recommending The Doll House - I’m just wondering where to go next. I’ve finished Hedda Gabler. Thank you!
Sorry Nicole, you will forgive my spelling mistake: I meant PORE over😮not POUR.....milk or tea... or any of my erratic spelling!😅
Haha not at all not at all :)
Thank you for this video! And once again, I do love all the books from Jonathan bate, so...I am going to pour over the book you mentioned! 😊
Pleasure! He’s great isn’t he. Hope you enjoy the book!
Such a great video!
