Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by shakespeare This guy killed off more people than jack

00:08

the ripper All right well here's the phrase read it

00:14

odyssey experience more dying people I special All right we're

00:31

ready Which of the following ideas does the speaker present

00:35

as similar And here the potential answers All right read

00:39

them and weep a lot A lot of death All

00:44

right so what are we being asked Well we have

00:47

five answer choices and each one is a pair of

00:49

ideas were supposed to find the two that the speaker

00:53

refers to his being similar So even if we personally

00:57

feel immortal when we watch twilight well it doesn't matter

01:00

It's all about the speaker Let's take these things one

01:03

by one and okay we'll start with the immortality thing

01:06

and twilight So here's the line where the speaker waxes

01:09

about twilight his physical life was but as an embryonic

01:13

stage a coming up out of darkness a twilight and

01:17

dawn before the sunrise of that life of the world

01:21

to come which he was to enjoy here after ok

01:25

so he's saying that shakespeare is immortal in a sense

01:28

but it's more than dawn that relates to that immortality

01:31

Twilight part refers to the end of his physical life

01:35

So no matter how much his memory may live on

01:37

he probably didn't rise up out of his grave the

01:40

night he was buried and start writing macbeth to the

01:42

revenge this time It's personal All right so what about

01:46

choice b Playing an instrument and delivering a speech Speaker

01:51

compares playing the violin to conducting one's life which isn't

01:54

quite the same thing is making a speech oh skippy

01:59

see unconscious and conscious memory close but it is actually

02:04

unconscious and conscious lives that air compared not memory who

02:09

settled We wish our unconscious memory would tell our conscious

02:12

memory where we left our car keys That happens a

02:15

lot Wait till you get older All right how about

02:17

de death and money in line thirty three the speaker

02:20

refers to the life after death as being like money

02:23

not death itself so he is out But which leaves

02:25

us just with e this better be right shakespeare and

02:28

teachers And yet this is the one speaker says that

02:32

shakespeare in teachers both attain immortality through their work So

02:35

it is other similarities He doesn't mention well they both

02:40

love standing in front of crowds of people they both

02:42

like using big complicated words and they both really like 00:02:45.24 --> [endTime] strip steak Not sure why that is
