William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history’s greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters. These skills are perhaps best encapsulated in the monologues he gives his various protagonists, villains and bit players.
From King Henry V’s inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Merchant of Venice Shylock defending his own cruelty, to the shepherdess Phebe from ‘As You Like It’ grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream, ‘ awaking from what he considers the strangest dream in history, Shakespeare’s monologues are short distillations of his larger themes – love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity.
Fort Raphael Publishing is proud to present, in this third volume, some of Shakespeare’s greatest monologues, each of which captures a shining, brilliant moment from his plays that gives us a deeper understanding of each character, whether flattering, damning or inspiring.
Enjoy this collection of monologues from the greatest theatrical writer in the English language – William Shakespeare.
