  • Hamlet, Part 6
    Jun 1 2024

    Today, we finish our look at Shakespeare’s Hamlet, one of, if not the, greatest plays of all time! But, does being great equal remaining relevant? Should we still read Hamlet? Well, pull up a chair by the fire and let’s talk about that.

    Special thanks to Head Librarians Jeff Seplak, Jesse Cunningham, and Jake Frounfelter!!!

  • Hamlet, Part 5
    May 17 2024

    Today we look at Hamlet’s soliloquy “How All Occasions Do Inform Against Me.” He is finally done with all this waiting, all this inaction. He just needs one more little push. We have lots to talk about, so please, pull up a chair by the fire and let’s talk some Hamlet.

  • Hamlet, Part 4
    Apr 29 2024

    Today, we come to the most famous of Shakespeare’s soliloquies, and perhaps the most well-known passage from any literary work! That may be an exaggeration but I’m not sure. But, yes, under the microscope today is Hamlet’s brilliant and emotional exploration on life and death, so, please, pull up a chair by the fire and let’s talk about “To Be, or Not to Be.”
