The Italian job

Hamlet: "Ay sir, to be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked of ten thousand."

When a team of professional robbers pull of the biggest heist ever. they were heading back to play away there money, when one of the team members pull away from the group and plan there own heist. when the team member pulls away he attacks his old team while in the process he kills one from his old team on was it any accedent. the team seeks revenge on the one who betrayed them. like hamlet his father was killed or murdered? he wants to know who did it unlike in the Italian job they know who killed one of there own, but like hamlet they wanna capture them, and find the answers to there questions what questions we wont ever know!!!!


Has any one seen this movie and thought wow could that really happen to you, you lose some one so close in a blink of an eye like hamlet??

when the ghost visited hamlet do u think he was frightened? and if so why do you think he was hiding something?


murder is such a big thing to deal with even more so when you kill the person, does any one know any one in jail for murder do you think they have some one like hamlet fighting for them??

Toy Story

"Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give these mourning duties to your father. But, you must know your father lost a father, that father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound to in filial obligation for some term To do obesqious sorrow." Why do you think the king feels the need to give a speech to Hamlet? Personally I think this tale of Hamlet is a lot like this movie I saw when I was a kid called Toy Story, maybe you're familiar with it. You see this guy Woody is trying to take revenge on Buzz who sort of waltzed right in on Woody's territory and became the new tough guy around town. So naturally, Woody feels bad about this and would like to take some revenge. Now in Hamlet the king comes to power and so Hamlet feels threatened as well, not to mention his dad getting killed.. but uh yeah. Oh and another open ended question................................. Why do you think Woody couldn't have just accepted Buzz as a new friend?

Death By Ear?

How would you feel if your father was murdered? Would you want revenge? That is what Hamlet his is thinking right now. But in order to get revenge he has to find out the truth first.

One thing that Hamlet does know for sure is that his father was killed, but how? his father has not givin mush insight on how he was killed its sort of been left up to Hamlet to find it out on his own. The one lead that he has is that he thinks it was his uncle that killed his father.

A movie that could relate to this book might be "GET RICH OR DIE TRYING" you may know this movie, because itwas made by 50 cent, but it follows a simular story. His mom was killed then he started to dell drugs and then he searchs to find the guy that he thinks killed his mom. But in the end he finds out that it was a person that he had known.

a example from the book, about how the king was killed, could be when thy were all at the play and the actors acted out a scene were the poisons a now dead kings ear and he dies. Then the real king gets up and leave the play.

Four Brothers

Four Bothers is a good verson of a revenge store because the brothers take revenge on there mothers death just like hamlet does with his father. i also think they are a like because there is a lot of side storys in both.

Four bothers is a more up to date verson of Hamlet but it has the same story. on page 149 in hamlet the player king says but die thouht when thy first lord is dead. meaning that he just killed the old king and will become the new one, in four borthers they find out who killed their mom and beat him untill he talks then they kill him.

Taken

"You cannot take anything from me that I will more willingly part withal-except my life, except my life, except my life." (hamlet.2.2.233-235)

The main character in Taken will do anything to get his daughter back, even if it means risking his life. Both Hamlet and the main character in Taken have had something taken from them. Hamlet had his dad and throne taken from him and the main character in Taken had his daughter taken from him. And they are both fighting to get back what they feel is rightfully theirs.

Do you think it is ok for either character to take revenge for the events that has happened to them?
Would you have sought out revenge if these things happened to you? If no why not, if yes what would you have done the same or different?

Pregnant: full of meaning.

Four Brothers

"A villian kills my father, and for that,

i, his sole son, do this same villian send to heaven."

(3.3.81. Hamlet)

Four Brothers and Hamlet are connected by the fact that in both stories a parental figure was killed. In hamlet it was the father, in Four Brothers their foster mom was killed. The quote relates to both stories because both want revenge for their loved one, and justice is only given with the death of the one who did it.

Will Hamlet ever get his revenge for his father and kill Claudius?

Will Hamlet do it himself or will he get someone to kill Claudius for him?

Hire and salary: i.e., something Claudius should pay me for.

Marcellus Act 1. Scene 4

Act 1. Scene 4





Marcellus "Lets's follow. 'Tis not fit thus to obey him."



This quote tells me that Marcellus is a good protecting friend to both Hamlet and Horotio. Even if it means not to obey his prince/friend he would do whatever inorder to protect hamlet.


Do you think Marcellus is doing the right thing by protecting Hamlet and not letting him face the facts himself?
Do you think Hamlet would the same for Marcellus?

Ghost, Act 1 Scene 5

"Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing
To what I shall unfold." (ghost.1.5.67)

The ghost is now about to tell them why he is here and what happened to him. The ghost was straight forwad in telling them who he was and what really happened to him. I don't relate to him at all because I would have told them the truth along time ago instead of waiting as long as he did. I am more impatient then him. The ghost will help solve the mystery because it happened to him so he knows all the information they need and if he tells them everything he knows or remembers the mystery could be solved.

Why did it take so long for the ghost to speak?
What do you think Hamlet is feeling and how do you think he is goin to react later on to what he just learned?

Forged process/Scene 5, Definitoion: false stroy/All of Denmark has heard a false story of my death 43-44

Hamlet Act.1 SC.2

"A little more than kin and less than kind"

The quote explains how hamlet is really upset with the outcome after his fathers death, and also his mother marring his own uncle Claudius that now becomes the new king. Hamlet is also feeling angry, frusturated, sad, and alone because the new king says things about his feelings but doesn't show his feelings and is a bastard overall.

Q1: Are Hamlets feelings towards Ophelia real or not? Why or why not?

Q2: For what reasons should Hamlet believe his dad about Claudius killing him to overrule his crown?

Voc: Queen act.1 sc.2 "Do not forever with thy Vailed lids"

Vailed lids: lowered eyes.

Ghost, Scene five

Are ghosts real? What could they possibly be trying to tell us? In Hamlet scene five he talks to his ghost father. But what could he possibly be talking to his father about? They talked about his death, and how he died. Now if its your first time reading hamlet like me you might have som problems understanding him when he talks about how he died. "With juice of cursed hebona in a vial". In other words he was givin piosoned. This is what he told to his son, as far as we know it was the queen that gave him the poison.

Laertes Act 1 Scene 3

"The canker galls the infants of the spring too oft before their buttons be disclosed, and, in the morn and liquid dew of youth, contagious blastments are most imminent."

Laertes is smart maybe a little overprotective of Ophelia he is very cautious has a close eye for Hamlet coming on to his sister.. i think that he will probably make somethings complicated for Hamlets plans on revenge.

Is Laertes overprotective? or is he somehow connected to the murder of Hamlets father and wants her to stay away from him because of it..?

The canker... spring: the canker worms destroys the early springs blossoms. meaning.. maybe saying untruthful things to put a false idea into someones head to get something you want out of them.

Claudius 1.2

"Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother death the memory be green,and our whole kingdom to be contracted in one brow of woe yet so far hath discretion fought with nature that wesest sorrow think on him together with remembrance of our selfs"

Claudias is just saying a bunch of feeling but doesn't show that he is really happy that his brother's dead and the new king.

Claudius is a bad guy and he was the one who killed his own brother to stay with the kingdom and I assume that he had in affair with the queen Gertrude. My predictionis that he posion his brother or that he had found out that he had done something that he didn't want the kingdom to know!!!

My two question's are that why did he killed his brother was it because the king found out something about him??? Or was it because the king found out he had something going on with his wife??

our sometimes sister:my former sister-in-law

Laertes Act 1. scean 3

Ophelia is the Daughter of Polonius who is the King's (Claudis) Councillor and her Brother is Lertes. Ophelia think she in love with Hamlet, and also think Hamlet has a thing for her. Her brother and father thinks she is dumb because they believe Hamlet just wants to be with Ophelia for sexual reasons. "For Hamlet,and the trilfling of his favor, Hold its a fashion and a toy in blood, A violet in the youth of primy nature, Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting, The perfume and suppliance of a minute, No more". After her brother said this to Ophelia she gets upset and shows that she still havve faith in Hamlet and think she has a chance with Hamlet and Believe it could still happen. Are Hamlet and Ophelia going to get together? Is Hamlet just in it for the Booty?
