When trying to break down the structure of Shakespearean sentence what might you want to ask yourself?

Ask yourself, "what is the verb?". Then ask yourself "what are the nouns?" Pare away all the adjectives, adverbs and prepositional phrases and when you see a list, compile them under one label. E.g. "For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law's delay, the insolence of office and the spurns that patient merit takes when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin." Compile the list: For who would bear {bad stuff} when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin. Pare the prepositional phrase: For who would bear {bad stuff} when he himself might his quietus make. The structural basis of all sentences is built on verbs and nouns.


What does thyself mean in shakespearean times?

The phrase is spoken by Polonius in Hamlet. It means "Do not deceive yourself". To deceive yourself (kid yourself, lie to yourself) is sometimes easier than deceiving other people.The full quote is: to thine own self be true,and it must follow, as the night the day,Thou canst not then be false to any manThis says that so long as you do not deceive yourself then you will not be tempted to deceive other people.this is bullcrapThere is a shade of difference between not being true to oneself and deceiving oneself.As Polonius is so full of words, it is natural that the things he says be considered 'just a lot of words'. Polonius might not know the depth of his own words but Shakespeare did and it is upto us to get to it.
