To be, or not to be
I looked through YouTube for a few To be or not to be soliloquys, and these are the ones I found. In the first, Hamlet is acting his speech out, and this aides him in getting into character easier. His voice almost echoes through the air, and it goes really well with what's going through his mind at the time. In the second video, however, Hamlet is not acting. I think the emotions and facial expressions of Hamlet make up for this, though. He is expressive and clear when stating his internal thoughts, and punctual when expressing his concerns and desires. The first Hamlet really shows his struggle and his stress externally, while the second one is more internal. I prefer the second one because I appreciate how much skill it requires to do such an emotional soliloquy without physically acting.
