Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama

S3 E5: The Villain Soliloquies: Richard III, Iago, Edmund, Don John and...Petruchio?


Listen Later

Season Three we're studying soliloquy!  This week we look at the villain soliloquies.  Or the, "this is what I've done, am doing, will do" soliloquies.  Or the, "I've already got a plan and am letting you in on it" soliloquies.

How can you differentiate your villains (or go-getters)?  How can you keep a character's personality in tact when they're giving exposition?  We look at some Shakespearean characters to see how the Bard failed, and eventually succeeded.  Take a walk with us as we compare Richard III (Richard III), Iago (Othello), Edmund (King Lear), Don John (Much Ado About Nothing) and Petruchio (The Taming of the Shrew).
