How stressed are you?

Today I was talking about English intonation with one of my students.
And there was a lot of work done on that topic — lots of 300 pages books but basically — if it's a statement intonation goes down, if it a question it goes up.
But there is such a thing as Logical stress (ударение).

And I have a perfect example from a comedy sketch where some big-name actors are arguing about where to put the stress in a "to be or not to be" quote.
YouTube Hamlet "to be or not to be" Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
