Question

Which speech reflects Shakespeare’s own life?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hamlet’s advice to the Player.

Explanation:

For all the biographical information veritably available for us readers of Shakespeare, it would be nonetheless difficult to ascertain which of these speeches best reflects upon Shakespeare´s intimate reflections upon his own life. However, since Shakespeare is best known for being the greatest playwright to have lived, and since he himself was an actor, and since both occupations took up most of his active life, as we know it, it would certainly be a solid argument to claim that Hamlet´s advice to the players (in which Hamlet delivers what we can surmise is Shakespeare´s understanding of the art and craft of being an actor on stage, and perhaps in life, too) reflects best upon Shakespeare´s own life.
