r/shakespeare

My dad just started posting a few of Shakespeare’s speeches, on YouTube. The twist is it’s in a southern accent (yes he’s southern. He is also a great English professor). It’s genuinely interesting. At any rate, the YouTube channel is called @bourbonprofessor. I’m not asking anyone to subscribe. (Of course you can if you want to.) I’m just asking for y’all to give him a few likes. It would mean the world to him, and to me. Thanks for your time. And LET THE WORLD BE PEOPLED!!! (Yes I know that’s not the actual line :) )

EDIT: I just realized. Please don’t say anything about it in the comments!! That would ruin the whole thing.

ANOTHER EDIT: you guys are great. That you so much!

I am wondering what the significance is between dialogue written in verse verses that written in prose. Often, dialogue is written in verse with only a little bit in prose. I’m reading Merry Wives of Windsor and the majority of the play is written in prose.

Is there a reason for the change in style?
