Thank you so much for putting that together. Forty seconds prior to the scene Claudius has said "This gentle and unforced accord of Hamlet / Sits smiling to my heart." Wild and whirling words. Great, great video. I thought I had seen every available version. I hadn't. I am grateful for this.
Also, if this video was in any way helpful or enjoyable for you, let me know! Give this video a like, a comment, whatever! I want to know if it's worth the effort to make more of these for the other three soliloquies.
