Act 1
|
|||
|
Scene 1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. The atmosphere or tension is established trough use of ghost
|
|||
|
as the super natural, the mystery, the unknown. A wrong is
|
|||
|
known to have accrued or about to happen. This creates
|
|||
|
intrigue and suspense.
|
|||
|
2. Many changes take place in Horatio's attitude towards the
|
|||
|
ghost. At first it is known to us that Horatio does not
|
|||
|
believe that the ghost actually exists.
|
|||
|
3. The background information we are given about the state of
|
|||
|
affairs in Denmark and about the relationship between Denmark
|
|||
|
and Norway is that something is wrong in Denmark and that
|
|||
|
Denmark and Norway had been in combat.
|
|||
|
4. We are introduced to the subject of law and rebellion trough
|
|||
|
the introduction of Fortinbras and the battles of Norway and
|
|||
|
Denmark. Example:
|
|||
|
Horatio "Did say this Fortinbras; who by a sealed compact
|
|||
|
Well satisfied by law and heraldry
|
|||
|
Did forfeit, with his life all those lands
|
|||
|
Through the late King actions of law and rebellion during his
|
|||
|
time.
|
|||
|
5. We are made aware of the uncertain foundation of human
|
|||
|
knowledge in the way we learn that the ghost may be a dream,
|
|||
|
or could just be around for some unfinished business. We
|
|||
|
also learn that Horatio is a scholar and trusted by Marcellus
|
|||
|
and Bernardo. He serves as a reliable witness and conveyor
|
|||
|
for Hamlet. Even scholars don't understand the unknown
|
|||
|
(ghost).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. This scene introduces us to the King Claudius, the antagonise.
|
|||
|
We know this because Hamlet has bad feelings towards him.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. The impression that I get of the character of Claudius from
|
|||
|
what he says is that he is a man of decisive action and of
|
|||
|
command. Same goes for his manner of expression is that he is
|
|||
|
courageous, strong minded. He does bad things in order to get
|
|||
|
things done for himself. From the attitudes of the characters
|
|||
|
I know that Claudius is a powerful man because Leartes asks
|
|||
|
his permission to leave for France. Also because he has his
|
|||
|
own advisor Polonius.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-2-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
8. From Hamlets conversation with Claudius and Gertrude I learn
|
|||
|
of Hamlet's character that he is a scholarly man who is a
|
|||
|
student at University of Wittenberg. He is in a destructed
|
|||
|
state seeing his father's death and also in grief for his
|
|||
|
mother quick remarriage.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
9. Hamlet's soliloquy. His tone is grievous and angered. He is in a state
|
|||
|
of depression. It is produced slowly in throughout the play. He also
|
|||
|
revels that he would like to disappear from the earth. He rails
|
|||
|
against the sudden death of his father and calls his mother's quick
|
|||
|
marriage to his uncle incestuous. I do sympathize in Hamlet because he
|
|||
|
is in a state of anxiety , and he is suddenly faced with two problems
|
|||
|
he did not expect to occur in his life. He shows his building anger
|
|||
|
only because of those events that happen to him.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
10. The change that is apparent in Hamlet as he talks to Horatio
|
|||
|
is that he is friendly towards him and he is happy to see him,
|
|||
|
but he is also hurt when Horatio says he has come to see his
|
|||
|
father's funeral. Hamlet shows then that he is very bothered
|
|||
|
by the everything that is happening in his life.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 3
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
11. The impression I get from the characters in the play are very
|
|||
|
different:
|
|||
|
- Laertes is a man that likes to enjoy himself, and does
|
|||
|
not like to keep close ties with his family.
|
|||
|
- Polonius is a man of knowledge he is the advisor and
|
|||
|
gets a lot attention from everyone because of who he is.
|
|||
|
- Ophelia is a sweet loving girl that loves her father
|
|||
|
and brother as well as Hamlet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
12. Ophelia is gives a false advice about Hamlet from her father
|
|||
|
and brother. They both want her to stay away from Hamlet
|
|||
|
because of the way he has been acting. Both men don't think
|
|||
|
that Hamlet really loves Ophelia.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
13. I agree that the advice that Polonius gives Ophelia is cynical
|
|||
|
and selfish because he is just assuming that Hamlet does not
|
|||
|
love her.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-3-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 4
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
14. Hamlet realizes that there can be three different reasons why
|
|||
|
a flaw maybe present in a person:
|
|||
|
- his is a victim of fate.
|
|||
|
- man can develop bad habits that could bring him to his
|
|||
|
later downfall.
|
|||
|
- Being born in a family like himself. He cannot do
|
|||
|
nothing about it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
15. The audience is made to doubt the good intentions of the
|
|||
|
ghost. In the way Marcellus and Horatio did, by telling
|
|||
|
Hamlet not to follow the ghost.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 5
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
16. The commands that the ghost gives to Hamlet are:
|
|||
|
- revenge the murder (against Claudius)
|
|||
|
- Ghost seems to think that Gertrude is innocent but
|
|||
|
stupid.
|
|||
|
- Ghost think that Hamlet is apt to do the task and
|
|||
|
avenge his father's death.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
17. The ghost knows that Cloudius is the murder. He thinks that
|
|||
|
he is very evil. Ghost seem to think that Gretrude is
|
|||
|
innocent but stupid. Ghost does not blame her for all that
|
|||
|
happened.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
18. When the ghost appears to Hamlet, he is excitable (Hamlet)
|
|||
|
Hamlet agrees with the ghost and listen to its words
|
|||
|
carefully.
|
|||
|
Hamlet acts this way because he is scared and angry.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
19. The philosophy of Horatio that Hamlet refers to is the
|
|||
|
psychlinesis, the unknown. All of which is unexplained and
|
|||
|
mystery. It could exist of happen but not in human knowledge.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
20. Hamlet is not going to obey the ghost because he is excitable
|
|||
|
at first, then shocked and finally enraged. he wants to seek
|
|||
|
revenge. Hamlet does not tell his friends about what the
|
|||
|
ghost told him to do.
|
|||

ACT II
|
|||
|
Scene 1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
21. In his conversation with Reynaldo, Polonius is made to seem
|
|||
|
less than attractive in the way that Polonius shows himself as
|
|||
|
a neddesome character. Polonius tells Reynaldo to locate
|
|||
|
other Danes in Paris who would know Laertes and identify
|
|||
|
himself as a friend of the family. Reynaldo thinks this
|
|||
|
scheme may dishonour Laertes, Polonius expalains that this
|
|||
|
inderect method is best. This shows unsavory side of Polonius
|
|||
|
character.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
22. Ophelia reports to her father telling him what happened to
|
|||
|
her. Hamlet apeared in her room. He was holding her. She
|
|||
|
found that very strange. She was very suprised that Hamlet
|
|||
|
acted this way towords her.
|
|||
|
This is typical of Hamlet because we now that he is is putting
|
|||
|
his plan to action.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
23. Polonius decides to talk to the King about the way Hamlet has
|
|||
|
been acting. He explains that Hamlet is mad because of the
|
|||
|
"ecstacy of love" that Ophelia was denying to him. Polonius
|
|||
|
feels sorry about all that is happening to Hamlet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
24. Claudius wants to spyon Hamlet in order to find out what is
|
|||
|
cousing all this madness in Hamlet. Cladius calls Hamlet's
|
|||
|
childhood friends (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) to court to
|
|||
|
find out from them how Hamlet thinks and what could be wrong
|
|||
|
with him.
|
|||
|
Gertrude does not want to entrap Hamlet, but she is conserned
|
|||
|
about her son's well being. She goes along with the plan.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
25. Machavellianism- the political theory of Machiavelli, the view
|
|||
|
that any means however unscrupulous can justificable be used
|
|||
|
in achieving political power.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
26. Hamlet would usally show the greatest respect because of his
|
|||
|
age and his high position in court. Hamlet tells Polonius to
|
|||
|
keep Ophelia out of court. Now Polonius is more then
|
|||
|
convinced that 'love sickeness' is the couse of Hamlet's
|
|||
|
behavior.
|
|||
|
I like Hamlet because he shows great respect for Polonius, but
|
|||
|
at thesame time he has to work with his madness inorder to
|
|||
|
avenge his father's death.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
27. Hamlet baits Claudius trough Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in
|
|||
|
the way that he assumes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern that has
|
|||
|
fooled the king and geen because he is not as mad as they
|
|||
|
think he is.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-5-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
28. It is suggested that Hamlet is more a poet than a man
|
|||
|
of action in the way that when his passion abates, he swiftly
|
|||
|
reveals a plan for entrapping Claudius and to establish his
|
|||
|
quilt. His method is not that of the heroic Achilles but more
|
|||
|
in keeping with Hamlet's schoary character.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
29. The "Rogue and Peasant Slave" soliloquy
|
|||
|
Hamlet attempts to account for his failure to take revange by
|
|||
|
the way that he obays the king ans hasn't confronted him yet
|
|||
|
and because he is suffering (grief over fother's deat, mother
|
|||
|
incest). Hamlet recognizes the real cause of his failure to
|
|||
|
the extent that he asks himself if he is a coward. And also
|
|||
|
he compares himself to prostitute in the way that unloads his
|
|||
|
unger with words and goes cursing.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Act 3
|
|||
|
Scene 1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
30. "To be, or not to Be" soliloquy
|
|||
|
The altesnatiles open to Hamlet's as far as he can see are
|
|||
|
those which every man or woman has to face in times of crisis.
|
|||
|
When Hamlet asks " Whether His robler has the mind to suffer,
|
|||
|
he is wondering whether it is better to respond passively to
|
|||
|
the trials adn tribulations of life, or is it better to take
|
|||
|
faceful action and confront probalems - " and by opposing end
|
|||
|
them "or is is best to commit suicide. But Hamlet points out
|
|||
|
that the problem with suicide is man's fear of oblivion.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
31. The "Nummery" scene
|
|||
|
Hamlet during the " To be, or not to be" soliloquy shows that
|
|||
|
he has a great honlrable mind. Towords Ophelia he was good,
|
|||
|
but in this scene he suddenly changes, Hamlet is being
|
|||
|
devastingly cruel, even though he feigns madness. He probably
|
|||
|
knows tha he has been set up. it is Hamlet's bitterness that
|
|||
|
lashes out at to a sunnery.
|
|||
|
This behaviour is typical of Hamlet because of feigning
|
|||
|
madness, and also he is attacking womanhood. This has been
|
|||
|
brought upon him by his mother's marriage, which he calls
|
|||
|
incestuous.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
32. Evidence of mortal blindness.
|
|||
|
Hamlet's behavior towords Ophelia was exaggerated, he could
|
|||
|
feign madnes, but he did so regatively and face fully, and he
|
|||
|
is being a stereotype. By saying negative words about
|
|||
|
womanhood, and when je saysall men are "arrant knaves, belive
|
|||
|
none of us".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
33. The tragic emotions of pity and fear are generated in the way
|
|||
|
that Ophelia is being really attacked by Hamlet. He love for
|
|||
|
him has been crushed. She feels used, because Hamlet tells
|
|||
|
her that he has never loved her. When Hamlet is arguing with
|
|||
|
her, it seems like he wants to kill her, but yet he over
|
|||
|
reacts.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
34. We are made aware that Hamle's fall is inevitable because
|
|||
|
everyone thinks he is mad and everyone is against him.
|
|||
|
The king is ready to take a drustic methods. Polonius gives
|
|||
|
his support. Rosencrants and Guildenstern are aiding the king
|
|||
|
to spy on Hamlet. Ophelia as well, mainly because she obeys
|
|||
|
her father. Gertrude is so innocent that she thinks
|
|||
|
everything is being done for Hamlet's own good. At this time
|
|||
|
Hamlet has only Horatio to turn to.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
35. In this scene Hamlet treats Ophelia much differently, he is a
|
|||
|
different Hamlet from the embittered abusive prince who had
|
|||
|
verbally attacked her, Hamlet refuses to sit beside his
|
|||
|
mother and lies at Ophelia's feet to engage in some bawdy
|
|||
|
repartee. Hamlet is also culmer, and little affectious.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
36. Basic traits of Hamlet's character leading him awasy from his
|
|||
|
goal are:
|
|||
|
- Hamlet is given more to philosophizing than to
|
|||
|
direct acting. He dwells of his tragic situation.
|
|||
|
- Hamlet is ecstatic, but he didn't engage in
|
|||
|
immediate action to avenge his father.
|
|||
|
- Hamlet gives gives Cloudius time to react in
|
|||
|
negative way towords him. As a result in the next
|
|||
|
scene the king is planning to send Hamlet to England
|
|||
|
to be executed there.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 3
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
37. Claudius' prayer add new dimansion to his character in the way
|
|||
|
that it is clear in his soliloquy that Claudius is to
|
|||
|
tornented by a guilty conscince and agonizing over murdering
|
|||
|
his brother eg: "It has the primal eldest curse up on,/4
|
|||
|
brothers murder!"
|
|||
|
As remorseful as he feels Cladius is not prepared to give up
|
|||
|
his throne or his queen to redeem himself. He does not do
|
|||
|
evil carelessly, but is quite ready to put aside mortality for
|
|||
|
necessity. Claudius is quitly bu the is not sorry for what he
|
|||
|
has done because of his greed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-7-
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
38. This scene is the turning point of important conflict in the
|
|||
|
play because Hamlet is ready to take action agaist Claudius,
|
|||
|
but doesn't because Cladius is praying. Later in the scen the
|
|||
|
action is risen.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
39. Theirony is established in this scene in the way that where
|
|||
|
finally Hamlet has courage to act in order to avenge his
|
|||
|
father's death, he kills Polonius instead of Claudius. It was
|
|||
|
accidental, but ironic. Hamlet's comment, "Thus bad begins,
|
|||
|
and worse remains behind, is ironic and makes the audience
|
|||
|
wonder about the consequences of Polonius death.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
40. No, this scene doesn't help to make Gertrude a less
|
|||
|
sympathetic character, on the contrary, in this scene Gartrude
|
|||
|
is shown to be a weak loyal woman who is trapped between her
|
|||
|
love for her son Hamletand her allegiance to her husband and
|
|||
|
king Cladius. Hamlet brings to her attantion the guilt that
|
|||
|
she did not feel or realize. She still remains a very
|
|||
|
sympathetic character in the eyes of the audiance.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
ACT 4
|
|||
|
Scene 1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
41. The villany of Claudiud is emphasized in the way that he lies
|
|||
|
to Gertrude his lovely wife by telling her he wants to send
|
|||
|
Hamlet away to England for his own good, when in reality it's
|
|||
|
becuase he knows that Hamlet intended to kill him not
|
|||
|
Polonius, so he decides to get rid of Hamlet (permanently).
|
|||
|
Also to get blamed for Polonius' deathhe plans to lie to the
|
|||
|
court. Claudius wants to lie to the court because of his
|
|||
|
greed. He lies to Gertrude about caring for Hamlet, he is
|
|||
|
cold-hearted evil. Gertrude is completly innocent (she
|
|||
|
belives that Hamlet is being send to England for help).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
42. Hamlet's strange behaviour is this scene does not befit that
|
|||
|
of atragic hero. Probably ne acts like this becuase he is
|
|||
|
prompted by his contempt for king's spies, Rosencrantc and
|
|||
|
Guildenstern. Hamlet edmires Horatio because he is the only
|
|||
|
person Hamlet can trust and he is the most loyal frined he
|
|||
|
has. Everybody else has betrayed him.
|
|||

Scene 3 & 4
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
43. The "How All Occasions Do Inform Against me" soliloquy
|
|||
|
The faults Hamlet finds with reasin as a guide to action are
|
|||
|
that when honor is at stake, it is right to act and not
|
|||
|
reason, that is the delay to revange. Also cowardly and a
|
|||
|
waste of time. He waws that he will stop wasting time, and
|
|||
|
revange his father's death at last.
|
|||
|
By honor he means the honor of his royal family accept
|
|||
|
Cloudius since he has decived everyone.
|
|||
|
This part of the play is very important because Hamlet finally
|
|||
|
decides to act not just speak about revange of his father's
|
|||
|
murder.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 5
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
44. Ophelia's madness causes much grif, everyone pities her,
|
|||
|
including the audiance, she was an innocent character, sweet
|
|||
|
beautiful, gentle, intelligent and direct. She was a loveable
|
|||
|
character. Showed great love for her father Polonius.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
45. Both want revange and are serious about it. Both plan, but
|
|||
|
Laertes is ready to take action immediately. Both men are
|
|||
|
honest, but Leartes is much more corageous. Leartes shows
|
|||
|
that he is brave. He is much more admilrable becuase there is
|
|||
|
no 'ifs' or 'buts' about it. He just wants to avange is
|
|||
|
father's and sister's death. We can see that Leartes is ready
|
|||
|
to take the action right from the start where Hamlet was been
|
|||
|
delaying the whole thing troughout the palay.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 6
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
46. Hamlet writes the letter to Claudius to make him angry and to
|
|||
|
shoe he has eluded his plans. Also, to show he is ready to
|
|||
|
take action and is ready to seek revange.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Scene 7
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
47. We get impression that the forces of destruction are mounting
|
|||
|
against Hamlet in the wasy that Ophelia is dead and Leartes is
|
|||
|
full of rage. The king has plotted to kill Hamlet this timeso
|
|||
|
he is ready to set up a facing match with Hamlet and Leartes.
|
|||
|
Leartes sword is going to have a poisined tip. If that will
|
|||
|
fail he will have a cup of posion wine to drink.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
48. From Gretrudes's tale and from her manner of telling it we
|
|||
|
learn that Gertrude feels sorry but explains the whole story
|
|||
|
in depth.

ACT 5
|
|||
|
Scene 1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
49. The extened use of humor at the begining of this scene causes
|
|||
|
comic relief. The dramatic scenes that just passed are being
|
|||
|
stopped, for a while. It is very effective.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
50. We know Hamlet has found humility, compassion, and patience
|
|||
|
becuase he is straight; he gets attacked by Leartes he says
|
|||
|
that he won't be rash, he admitts that he loved Ophelia more
|
|||
|
then anyone. He says that he is ready to take the stand and
|
|||
|
leave his past behind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
51. Hamlet fights with Leartes because of self-defence. Hamlet
|
|||
|
arrives on the scene and Leartes attecks him. Hamlet defends
|
|||
|
himself.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Secne 2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
52. This scene suggests that Hamlet has found his moral bearing in
|
|||
|
the way that from the start he is decisive and clever in his
|
|||
|
actions. His hatred is focused on Claudius. Horatio warns
|
|||
|
Hamlet about the possible disaster, but Hamlet does not care,
|
|||
|
he is not scared of death any longer.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
53. I think that Shakespeare is suggesting that the hand of
|
|||
|
Providence is at work in a way because the king's plan does
|
|||
|
not got well. The qeen gets posioned instead of Hamlet.
|
|||
|
Leartes dies quicker than Hamlet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
54. Hamlet shows a scene of responsibility and a concern for the
|
|||
|
world, and for its people at the end of his life when Horatio
|
|||
|
also wants to take his ownlife but Hamlet tells him his
|
|||
|
purpose is clearly to stay behind and report this tragedy to
|
|||
|
the world.
