the ghost of king hamlet

The Ghost is most identifed by the them death. The reason i pick death is because the ghost (King Hamlet) was killed by his brother. The only person that knows who killed him is his son hamlet. The whole story is trying to find out who killed the king.

One quote that prove this is "To revenage his foul and most unanatural murder"(1.5.33). This quote connects to death because he's telling his son that he should take his own brother's life because he took mine. He came up to him in a ghost form. This is important because the ghost (King Hamlet) dont want to see his brother in power for the wrong reason.

Another quote that prove this is "When i go sulf'rous and tormenting flames most render up myself"(1. . The quto is saying that he's time is comeing to return to the flames.Which meaning thathe is trap between heaven in hell, In the middle, and hasn't been chosen for one to go to this is related to death because he doesn't have a place to go. This is a powerful thing and i hope that he find his way throw.

Horatio at your service

Horatio is Hamlets stability in his broken family. With few words but calm presence he is able to understand and support Hamlet. Horatio is a loyal friend who tells Hamlets story. Horatio’s only family is Hamlet’s as far as we know. Horatio never speaks of his own family. Horatio is always there for Hamlet like his right hand man. He knows Hamlet’s family is broken, and all the corruption that is happening in it. Horatio understands all the pain Hamlet went through after his father’s death. I think Horatio must have had a broken family himself because he copes with Hamlet’s situation very well. “Here sweet lord, at your service.” (3.2.55) Horatio highly respects Hamlet, and Hamlet perceives how good a friend and servant Horatio is and feels like he can talk about anything with him. “Horatio, thou art e’en as just a man As e’er my conversation coped withal.” (3.3.46) Hamlet is telling Horatio that he is one that understands him. He can feel and know his conversation. Horatio speaks calmly and listens to Hamlets troubles of a broken family, he identifies with Hamlet’s feelings, that’s why I feel like Horatio has had a broken family himself.

Retribution

The theme for Rosecrantz and Guildenstern is revenge. The reason for this is the previous kings son Hamlet has set out for revenge for killing his father than marrying his mother shortly after. Claudius (present king) feeling suspicious of Hamlets behavior he sends two loyal peasants to spy on what Hamlet is doing in his spare time. The two peasants, not being to bright Hamlet soon figures out that they work for Claudius and Gertrude.

"But we both obey, and here give up ourselves in the full bent to lay our service freely at your feet, to be commanded." {2.2.31-34} In this brief quote Guildenstern is stating that he and his friend are willing to do anything for the king. Already giving up their sovereignty they are also willing to give up their freedom at no cost.

"we'll wait upon you". {2.2.286} Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are saying that they are willing to do anything for Hamlet without question. Now that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are around their old pal they fall under the pressure of Hamlets interigational friendship. Manipulating thier minds Rosencrantz and Guildenstern now want to quit working for the king and work for Hamlet. Hearing that, Hamlet doesn't want Rosencrantz nor Guildenstern to work for him he just wants them to be friends with him. Not wanting to disobey the King and Queens orders they don't tell them that they quit they just hang around with Hamlet then may report irrelevent matters

The shadow of death

King claudius most relates to the theme death, because he is the most related to death and deaths shadow is casted from prince hamlets plan of revenge.

"Though yet of hamlet our dear brothers death the memory be green." (1,2,1-2) says king claudius. the reason why he is saying this is because all the memories of his brother is of him being envious of what his older brother had. this is the new kings first line in the play and right away it tells us that he is or was jealous of his brother.

"madness in great ones must not go unwatched." (3,1,203) King claudius is saying this to hamlet but i think it could be fliped arond and turned on him. the king is the most important in the kingdom and he has already shown sighns of being crazy or mad by killing the old king just for his power. The whole play the king is forshadowing hamlet when he really is the one who is gone crazy and is carrying death on his shoulder.

Broken Family:Ophelia's Story

The theme Ophelia most relates to is "Broken Family."
One of the reasons she is in this category is because her father (Polonius) doesn't like her dating Prince Hamlet. Polonius doesn't want Ophelia to have babies with Hamlet.

Also, Ophelia's father works for the new King, Cladius, as his council and considering that Hamlet is her boyfriend, and that Hamlet has "problems" (to say the least) with King Cladius, makes for not only a "Broken Family," but a chaotic one at that.

"No, my good lord, but as you did command

I did repel his letters and denied

His access to me." (Ophelia 2.2 120-122)

From this quote you can tell that Ophelia is mad and a little sad over a certain event that occured, but what you didn't know is the event that occured was her boyfriend, Prince Hamlet, walked in on her sewing in her private room acting quite strange, he had a tight unfastened jacket, dirty stockings, and looked as if he just came from hell and back. Hamlet then grabbed Ophelia's wrist and held her hard, but not hurting her. Ophelia feels sad, mad, and confused about what just happened, not knowing that Hamlet had just talked to the ghost of his father, and that the ghost told him King Cladius had murdered his father just to take the title of King.

"For if the sun breed maggots in a dead dog, being a good kissing carrion-Have you a daughter?" (Hamlet 2.2 197-199)

Although in this quote Hamlet is refering to Ophelia, Hamlet is being sarcastic when he says this. Hamlet is talking to Polonius (Ophelia's father) and Hamlet doesn't like Polonius so he tries to get under his skin even if the words he says offends and disrespects the one he loves.

For The Honor Of The Dead King

First off prince Hamlet is the son of Queen Gertrude and the recently killed King Hamlet. As soon as prince Hamlet's father died his mother Gertrude married prince Hamlet's uncle also known as king Hamlets brother. This caused prince Hamlet to have a lot of resentment toward his mother and uncle (step father). As soon as prince Hamlet found out thru his father's ghost that his uncle had killed him he decided to revenge his father.

Second of all Hamlet decided to take actions with his own hands because he knew that if he didn't revenge his father no one was going to do it. "That I, the son of dear (father) murdered, prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell. (Act2.sc.2line612-613). The theme I have choosen is very important because it is a topic that is carried from the beggining to the end. Hamlet decides to carry it throughout because he wants to make justice to his father.

Third and lastly of all Hamlet hints his uncle thar he knows something about the murder "This play is the image of a murder done in Vienna". (pg151) This could give the king an idea of what Hamlet might want to do because Hamlet in the play basickly tells his whole plan not only to the king but to all the people that are there.
