Cultural references and influence?

edit

All the references in popular culture have been excised.[1] I think a sourced discussion of the influence this soliloquy would be a good idea.

 I have found this referenced in two places, the first is (most obviously) in The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner, and the second is in Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Vintage edition, page 44, when the prefect of studies is reprimanding students.

There is a novel entitled "The Way to Dusty Death". I think it is by Alastair Mclean. Pigsmoke (talk) 18:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

"Third sentence"?

edit

I do not know my Shakespeare at all, so I hesitate to edit this article. The first sentence of this article specifies that the line "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" is "the beginning of the third sentence" of a soliloquy. In the quotation that follows, though, it is the third line but actually begins the second sentence. So is the article in error, or is the quotation of the soliloquy incomplete? Either way, I think an edit is in order to either

  1. Say that the phrase begins the second sentence of the soliloquy;
  2. Say that the phrase is the third line of the soliloquy;
  3. Remove the claim that the quotation is "the full soliloquy"; or
  4. Prepend the first sentence of the soliloquy to the quotation, if the article was correct and the quotation is actually missing a sentence.

Hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about (that is, someone other than me) can sort this out! — Control.valve (talk) 22:01, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

What is the point of this?

edit

Can't this be included under Macbeth? Quark1005 (talk) 00:40, 6 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Probably. The article used to be mostly somebody's unsourced original research and analysis of the passage. Once that is removed there isn't much reason for the article. Ekwos (talk) 21:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've proposed for speedy deletion - I appreciate that people are editing it, but as the other tag points out, it is just a relatively straightforward plot point synopsis plus a list of times where it has been mined for titles etc. Despite the suggestions that it needs to have more meat, backed up by citations, no-one seems interested in doing it (including me...)

Marilyn Manson section has errors

edit

The Marilyn Manson sentence in the popular culture section has a few errors in it. Firstly it lists his genre as "suicide death metal" when really his genre and the genre of the album it mentions is Industrial Metal, a form of experimental music. It also does not provide a link to his wiki page. It also states that it is used in his Born Villain promotional video, when in fact it is used in both his song "Overneath the path of misery" and his short film named "Born Villain". It is my opinion that that section was written by someone who doesn't know anything about Marilyn Manson except what is said in mainstream media. It is evident that they have neglected to even read the Marilyn's wiki page before writing that part, albeit it is a short mostly insignificant portion of the article however It should be correct should it not? --Nikolai508 (talk) 14:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

What exactly is Shakespeare trying to teach us through that monologue? Can someone add it into the page? -- Annonymus user (talk) 07:27, 8 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Should there be a comma after 'fury'?

edit

Other sources seem to have a comma after the word 'fury'. This changes the meaning quite a lot (is it the whole 'tale' or just the 'sound and fury' that signifies nothing?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.162.2.61 (talk) 11:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
