Wisecrack’s King Lear (Shakespeare) – Thug Notes Summary & Analysis presents itself as both comedic and widely informative. It is critical to analyze how well the video informs its views. Personally, I left the video informed. The host, who adopts a widely informal tone, is heavily entertaining. He tells the story effectively, even diving deeper into the meaning of the story. This can be noted as he elaborates on Willy’s quote about truth. Of course, this presentation is widely informal. However, he effectively elaborates on the quote and dives deeper into “truth” in the story. Ultimately, this can be noted as widely effective. Its effectivity is not present because of his explanation. Frankly, it is similar to explanations present in different forms of summary and analysis. Instead, it is implemented because of its simplicity. The video’s “thug” presentation incorporates slang and simplistic words. It does not attempt to become complex or academic. It is direct. The host says the quote and elaborates on its overall importance and relatability to the story. Within this, the simple language used in his summary and language arguably make the story more comprehensible. This is prominent when he develops a discussion on morality. The development of comprehension may be beneficial to a younger or less informed audience member. Additionally, I did not fall asleep. The host’s charismatic introduction and prominent presence have suppressed my usual urge to lose my attention. In all, the presentation is unique. It does its job and does it well. Of course, this may not be tasteful to many. However, for one looking for a combination of entertainment and information, this is the video for you. It is a unique style, one that can cause those unfavorable of scholarly analyses and fancy word to gravitate towards the video. Did I like it? Yes. Was it informational? Yes. This is the recipe for a summary and analysis, and the host cooks it up well.
