2:20 is when he speaks in a Shakespearian accent
>Shakespeare's sense of poetry is the greatest the world has ever seen!
>Shakespeare was, truly, the greatest master of the music of poetry!
And you say this having read Shakespeare outloud (or even more embarrassingly, with an internal voice) to yourself in whatever shitty modern accent you have, most likely American, probably nodding to yourself and congratulating yourself on your "deep" understanding of Shakespeare's poetics. ("yes, yes, quite sublime, yes") You have no idea what the "music" of Shakespeare is like, so stop pretending. Shakespearian English is supposed to sound completely different from what you think it sounds like. You may as well be reading Chaucer in pathetic modern English translation and pretending that you are appreciating the poetics of Chaucer.

You're a fucking pleb, you know that?

No one even knows what Shakespearean (or Chaucerian) English would've sounded like and most scholars admit it doesn't matter.

>>9946204
why don't you post a recording of yourself reading in a Shakespearean accent, oh mighty internet patrician
>>
Words transcend language.

>>9946212
Because I'm fucking with you. I never read Shakespeare aloud. In fact, when I read his works, I switch off my internal voice too.

Anyone who uses the word "pleb" is a bluestocking idiot.

>>9946402
not what I said at all, nice reading comprehension, idiot. The sounds and so-called music of poetry, however, are a crucial aspect of it, however.

/lit/ is so fucking pathetic, I can't believe I share this board with retards like this

That's just a Scottish pirate

And yet his work remains appreciated all over the world, imagine that. Everyone knows pronunciation has changed since then, you might as well shit on people for finding the King James Bible beautiful since they wouldn't be able to read it aloud in an authentic manner either. And yet it is, even without that dimension, though it was also a work that was written to be read aloud.

>he's an OP fag
Literally a circus trick for tourists. Good of you to do their advertising f.o.c.
>Shakespearean accent
It's west-country with a bit of gravel. Most Londoners think it sounds American.

I kinda wish I could read in a convincing American accent, since that's actually believed to be closer to the accent Shakespeare would have been read in at the time.

He's very clearly joking

That's right, a youtube video... Genuine erudition

>>9946195
I read it in an Irish accent, because it is the best accent.
Anyway this is more fun than your gay video
