Default 30 lines of shakespeare

How long will it take to memorize 30 lines of shakespeare (a soliloquoy from Hamlet)?

Is this assignment anything more than busywork?

fine. here's the one i'm doing. Hamlet's pissed cuz his mom married his uncle only 2 months after his uncle killed his dad.

Hamlet
O that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon 'gainst (self-slaughter!) O God, God,
How (weary), stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on 't, ah fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come (to this
But two months dead - nay, not so much, not two.
So excellent a king, that was to this
Hyperion to a satyr, so loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth,
Must I remember? Why, she (would) hang on him
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on. And yet, within a month
(Let me not think on 't; frailty, thy name is woman!),
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she followed my poor father's body,
Like Niobe, all tears - why she, (even she)
(O god, a beast that wants discourse of reason
Would have mourned longer!), married with my
uncle,
My father's brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules. Within a month,
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not, nor it cannot come to good.
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue

On further review I'm just gonna do To be or not to be cuz I memorized that one a long time ago and maybe that will help

Easy. I had to memorize some lines from Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade, and I still remember them 15 years later.

You're supposed to dress like him too? Jesus.

Assuming you're not going full-on period costume, a blousy black shirt and black pants would work. Look depressed.
