Shakespeare's Greatest Monologues

The Complete Collection

De: William Shakespeare

Narrado por: Full Cast

William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history's greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition, and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters. These skills are perhaps best exemplified in the monologues he gives his various protagonists, villains, and bit players.

From King Henry V's inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Shylock of Merchant of Venice defending his own cruelty. From the shepherdess Phebe in As You Like It grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from A Midsummer Night's Dream awaking from the strangest nap in history, Shakespeare's monologues are short distillations of his larger themes—love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity.

Fort Raphael Publishing is proud to present—in this complete volume—the best of Shakespeare's greatest monologues, each of which captures a shining, brilliant moment from his plays that gives us a deeper understanding of each character, whether flattering, damning, or inspiring.
