To be, or not to be- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 1750
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks 1755
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep.
To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 1760
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay, 1765
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life, 1770
But that the dread of something after death-
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns- puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of? 1775
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry 1780
And lose the name of action.- Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia!- Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins rememb'red.

>1750, 1755 ...
was it autism
is this a roleplay?
if it is, i'd like her to play with my roll, know what i'm sayin' here?
the linenumber in the play?
Have you never read a single play that was printed in a book?
Even then jsut use common sense to figure it out.
i don't know if you're trolling but the line number should start at 58 because it is act 3, scene 1.
(3.1.58-92)
Here you go, dudely.

First link you get when you search "to be or not to be..."
But true, I also remember it always starting over with counting lines rather than this continuity.
>know by heart
>copy-pasting off opensource
Basically the same.
man I actually know this one by heart
which is his best work?
Julius Cesar = Hamlet > MacBeth > Othelo > Romeo & Juliet
?
i do know this soliloquy by heart, and some sonnets. it would be nice to memorize a whole play one day.
that one is the reddit of shakespeare speeches
here is the patrician choice
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men–
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

adhd is shit, but goddamn if I don't feel like I've got super powers sometimes.
Just audition for a performance, if you get in you'll pretty much have to memorise large chunks of it.
what a story, you should be the one writing plays. where can I subscribe to your blog for more fascinating anecdotes?
Yeah, okay. Here's another one.
Every night your mom calls me and begs me to fuck her until she forgets that you exist, but I don't stick my dick in ugly.
>the 8th grade redditor sperges wildly
easy kiddo
delivering eloquent soliloquies is a majestic relic of antiquity
I only memorize the essential from the topest playwright
The Merchant of Venice
I love Marc Antony's speech, but I feel like the true patrician choice is the Saint Crispin's Day Speech, which I do have memorized.
Julius Caesar but only with Trump as Julius Caesar
