:11:00
that Macbeth 's biggest mistake
was not murdering Duncan...
:11:04
but marrying Mrs. Macbeth.
Or, as they call, Lady Macbeth.
:11:09
Hamlet, on the other hand, failed...
:11:13
not, I reiterate, not because of a mistake...
:11:16
but because of a fatal flaw in his nature.
:11:19
An intense Oedipal relationship
between himself...
:11:23
and his mother, who was Queen Gertrude.
:11:25
I think that is very, very important.
:11:28
Mr. Myers?
:11:30
Would you tell us
the basic theme of Oedipus?
:11:37
Wasn't that the guy
who had something wrong with his eyes?
:11:40
That's the guy who had something wrong
with his eyes.
:11:45
Ms. Knight, perhaps you could
help Mr. Myers...
:11:47
and tell us about the theme
of the Oedipus legend.
:11:51
Easy.
:11:52
A guy can't kiss his mother on the mouth
and get away with it.
:12:03
We'll continue our discussion
of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the next class.
:12:06
I hope that you all have your assignments.
:12:09
Mr. Myers, Ms. Knight,
will you please remain for a moment?
:12:13
Mr. Myers, I hope you're aware...
:12:14
that I'm not about
to give you a passing grade...
:12:16
just because you happen to be
one of the stars of our football team.
:12:19
I am sorry, sir.
:12:20
I just can't remember
all those characters' names.
:12:23
That will take a little study.
Ms. Knight, that's where you come in.
:12:26
Will you be willing to tutor Moose,
to make him understand his assignments...
:12:29
and make sure that he reads all his plays?
:12:33
I'd do anything
for the football team, Prof. Tilson.
:12:36
Listen, what was Tilson
bugging you about today?
:12:39
He won't pass me.
:12:40
I'm first-string, probably all-American.
:12:42
He won't give me automatic passing grade.
:12:44
- That's heavy. That's bad stuff.
- That's really a shame.
:12:46
Yeah, but he's trying to be helpful.
:12:47
- He got me a tutor.
- Oh, yeah? Who?
:12:49
- Who'd he get?
- Miriam Knight.
:12:53
Miriam Knight!
:12:56
Miriam Knight? She's a dog.
She looks horrible.
