How Do I memorize Hamlets- "To be or not to be" paragraph?

Answer 1

First you have to understand what's being said and why it's being said. You need to understand the tone of voice that Hamlet is using and what he's actually trying to figure out.

Second try memorizing it a line or two at a time.

Third - and yes, I know this sounds a little nerdy, but around here when we want to memorize something we type it out and stick it on things like the microwave, the fridge, the computer screen -- then before using the piece of equipment we read the paper all the way through. (You might try breaking that one down into smaller chunks and only posting sections at a time).

Fourth - and this may not work at all on this particular quote. It works fairly well on shorter ones though . . .
Set it to music. Things that are difficult to remember are often a lot easier when you sing them. After all that's why television commercials rely on jingles.

Good Luck. I memorized that over 30 years ago and still remember a fair amount of it.
Memorize as much as you can (especially things you like) while you are young.

Answer 2

Go over it and over it and over it. And over it. Practice makes perfect, darlin'.
