If thou art privy to thy country’s fate, Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O, speak!
foreshadowing that all is not well in their country after the kings death
Let us impart what we have seen to-night Unto young Hamlet; for, upon my life, This spirit, dumb to us, will speak to him.
Hopeful the ghost will reveal the countries fate to Hamlet, as he is his son
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage, In equal scale weighing delight and dole,
heavily foreshadows his reign as king; he won't even give time to mourn his brother, he'd rather the country celebrate his marriage
How is it that the clouds still hang on you?
hes so mean lol let the kid mourn his DAD
Thou know’st ’tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.
’Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
we beseech you, bend you to remain Here, in the cheer and comfort of our eye, Our chiefest courtier, cousin, and our son.
He really just fully took over the kings life
I pray thee, stay with us; go not to Wittenberg. HAMLET I shall in all my best obey you, madam.
putting his own happiness aside for his mothers
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
struggling mentally now due to not being allowed to grieve
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable, Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Frailty, thy name is woman!
struggling to grasp how his parents seemed so in love, yet his mom remarries to his UNCLE just two weeks later
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.
hes the only one realizing how wrong this is.. He won't stand for it but also trying to keep quiet for his mom
the funeral baked meats Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.
OMG FOUL
My father’s spirit in arms! all is not well;
violet in the youth of primy nature, Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting, The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more.
foreshadowing love between orphelia & hamlet
Perhaps he loves you now, And now no soil nor cautel doth besmirch The virtue of his will: but you must fear, His greatness weigh’d, his will is not his own;
noting their love is domed because he must follow kings orders
Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister, And keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shot and danger of desire.
I shall the effect of this good lesson keep, As watchman to my heart.
she wants too look after herself, and try not to fall for hamlet
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
Hamlet didnt know his father was murdered, now feels a need to seek revenge
Haste me to know’t, that I, with wings as swift As meditation or the thoughts of love, May sweep to my revenge.
The serpent that did sting thy father’s life Now wears his crown. HAMLET O my prophetic soul! My uncle!
He had to learn that his uncle and current king murdered his dad
From me, whose love was of that dignity That it went hand in hand even with the vow I made to her in marriage,
The king truly loved gertrude and denmark, but claudius just loves the power he holds over them both
Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me.
His final moment with his dad
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain; At least I’m sure it may be so in Denmark:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
And what so poor a man as Hamlet is May do, to express his love and friending to you, God willing, shall not lack.
The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right!
His new fate is to avenge his fathers death
Observe his inclination in yourself.
Why grant his son leave if hes just gonna spy on him lol
‘Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love.
Ay, sir; to be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.
Literally so true today too
More relative than this: the play ’s the thing Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Madness in great ones must not unwatch’d go.
That did I, my lord; and was accounted a good actor. HAMLET What did you enact? LORD POLONIUS I did enact Julius Caesar: I was killed i’ the Capitol; Brutus killed me.
Oh what a little crossover, we love to see it
Then there’s hope a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year:
all he wants is his dad to be mourned and remembered
OPHELIA What means this, my lord? HAMLET Marry, this is miching mallecho; it means mischief.
creating a whole play to show the king/his uncle that he knows he’s a murderer is insane…. dare i say its kinda a slay
For us, and for our tragedy, Here stooping to your clemency, We beg your hearing patiently. Exit
i can’t lie hamlet is kinda iconic for this
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.
For ’tis a question left us yet to prove, Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
I will speak daggers to her, but use none;
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent;
Ohh NOW u start to feel guilty?!
A villain kills my father; and for that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send To heaven.
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
A bloody deed! almost as bad, good mother, As kill a king, and marry with his brother.
Yeah clock her
The present death of Hamlet.
Was killing his dad not enough
O, from this time forth, My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!
Oop
I loved Ophelia: forty thousand brothers Could not, with all their quantity of love, Make up my sum.
KING CLAUDIUS (Aside) It is the poison’d cup: it is too late.
Omg the way he is getting everyone killed
