Claudius' Soliloquy by Nancy Jimenez https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm en-us 2016-10-24 15:06:56 UTC 2016-10-25 15:13:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Bigthunderstorm.png A brother's murder 500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132739241 Oh, my offence is rank. It smells to heaven. 
It hath the primal eldest curse upon ’t, 
A brother’s murder. 
Claudius is mentioning how he committed a sin similar to Cain and Able. Cain murdering Able.]]> 2016-10-24 15:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132739241 Guilt ridden 500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132741286 My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent, 
And, like a man to double business bound, 
I stand in pause where I shall first begin, 
And both neglect. Claudius has ridden with Guilt due to the murder of his brother. He is shocked that he even committed the action. ]]> 2016-10-24 15:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132741286 Pray can I not. Though inclination be as sharp as will,  500002053 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132741410 Claudius wants to pray for the sin he has just committed, but at the same time he wants to pray to wash what he did away]]> 2016-10-24 15:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132741410 White as Snow 500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132743428 Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood? 
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens 
To wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercy 
But to confront the visage of offence?  Claudius  means despite his greatest efforts he will never be able to remove the blood on his hands. He has blood on him and despite his prayer he will go to Hell.]]> 2016-10-24 15:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132743428 O bosom black as death!  500002053 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132773224 His heart is black and he knows that there isn't anything he can do to clear it up ]]> 2016-10-24 16:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132773224 But ’tis not so above. There is no shuffling. 500002053 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132774962 In heaven everything you have done is you are judged for and none of it is forgotten or missed]]> 2016-10-24 16:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132774962 The fate that lies ahead of Claudius 500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132899871 So what can I do? What is there left to do? Offer 
whatever repentance I can—that couldn’t hurt. 
But it can’t help either! Oh, what a lousy situation 
I’m in. My heart’s as black as death. My soul is 
stuck to sin, and the more it struggles to break 
free, the more it sticks. Claudius knows he is condemned to be damn in help and despite he best intentions he shall not be saved from the wrath of god. ]]> 2016-10-25 03:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/132899871 Summary  500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/133030394 Claudius is feeling quite nervous looking ahead to his future. He feels there is no point anymore to try repenting due to his grave sin of murdering his brother he can not change his fate that will go to hell. ]]> 2016-10-25 14:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/133030394 Deeper meaning 500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/133032713 Its shows that Claudius is still shocked for the actions he has committed and how powerless he actually is to control his future despite him being king. Also, this brings in more revenge into the play because since the beginning of the play it has been a huge topic.]]> 2016-10-25 14:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/133032713 500002243 https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/133040592 2016-10-25 15:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/500002053/7jhc3961b1rm/wish/133040592
