But, damn, how do these actors have so much passion to carry out their actions, while I become hesitant to even kill Claudius? If “the play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king,” I’m going to be resolute in my will. I conjured up an idea that could reveal Claudius’ sin of killing father… These 12 or 16 extra lines that I will incorporate into their play is going to reveal everything. But, dear God, this man irritates me… He kept interrupting the actor’s soliloquy even when I REQUESTED IT, and then he tried bartering with me on how much they “deserve…” Seems like things even like Bible stories can be used to tease people. the adult actors, and how the child actors are “…carrying the whole theater on their backs, like Hercules carried the world.” Afterwards, Polonius came along to tell me that the troupe has arrived (but of course, I couldn’t resist teasing his stupidity a little by alluding the bible story of Jephthah). They told me about the current situation of the child actors VS. Act 1 Scene 2 (Claudius Monologue) Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give these mourning duties to your father: But, you must know. Claudius and Mother sent for them to spy on me, eh?Īt least they brought along my favorite tragic actor troupe along with them.

Man, I can’t believe these two idiots went to college with me and I didn’t notice their idiocy then. They claimed to be here to visit me at first, but I soon got the truth of it. I finally got to catch up with them, but I was wondering why they came all the way to Denmark… “These tedious old fools!” was really all that I could think, talking to the bumbling idiot.Īt least, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern came home today. Oh, man I laughed so hard after the conversation ended. As the ambassadors exit, Polonius tells Claudius and Gertrude he thinks Hamlets love for Ophelia is driving him mad. What’s even weirder is how he seemed to think the gibberish coming out of my mouth meant something profound. He and Claudius were obviously trying to test me and question me in order to find out what was “wrong with me.” It was pretty mean, but I decided to play with his idiocy by confusing the hell out of him and causing to pause and think about the things I was saying. Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 2 underline the words that they think are old fashioned and not used much anymore guess what some of the words mean compare their.

When they scurried out, one of Claudius’ counselors called Polonius remained. But clearly his inner struggle has been manifested from the time of his first appearance in this play. They’re up to something dumb again, like trying to find the source for my apparent “insanity.” How did they reach this conclusion anyway? Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 The climax In Act V-Scene 2, as the play begins with Hamlet fill in the detail of what happened to him since he left Denmark, Hamlet concedes that there was a kind of fighting in his heart. As I walked into the hall today, reading Dante’s Inferno (one of the best books ever!), I hear Claudius and Mother scurry outside and away from my sight.
