Therefore, when deciding to kill King Claudius, he thinks that the ghost might be lying so he decides to put on a play to see if King Claudius did kill his father.]]> 2016-04-11 17:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/105129376 Quote allisonklinkosh https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/105622525 "I’ll have these players
Play something like the murder of my father
Before mine uncle. I’ll observe his looks.
I’ll tent him to the quick. If he do blench,
I know my course. The spirit that I have seen May be the devil, and the devil hath power
T' assume a pleasing shape. Yea, and perhaps
Out of my weakness and my melancholy,
As he is very potent with such spirits,
Abuses me to damn me. I’ll have grounds
More relative than this. The play’s the thing
Wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king." (2.2 623-634)

If he is going to kill King Claudius he wants be sure before he just takes an innocent man's life. So he decides to to put on a play about his father's death. The plan is during the play is that he will watch King Claudius closely to see if he feels uneasy and guilty while watching the play. By doing this Hamlet will know for sure that King Claudius killed his father. 
  This shows Hamlet's mindset because he wants to take a new approach before he decides to kill King Claudius. I think that he needs a new approach because I think that he hasn't needed to really decide on anything. I mean we don't know much about his life before King Hamlet died but we can just assume that he was acted like a prince and didn't really need to do anything until now. So, in my opinion, he has to overthink things because he can't make a decision. I am guessing he has never made such a big decision before. He just did whatever without thinking it over. But, now he has to make this decision and decide whether to kill King Claudius. ]]> 2016-04-13 17:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/105623755 Hamlet acts.... allisonklinkosh https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/105640078 Hamlet acts the way he does because he feels like he betrayed by his mother. I mean his mother married pretty fast after his father died. And she married his uncle. I mean I would act the way Hamlet does too. Hamlet is full of anger because of his mother marrying so fast after his father's death. He is so full of anger that he is really sassy towards the king and queen. ]]> 2016-04-13 18:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/105640078 Quote allisonklinkosh https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106029435 “A bloody deed-almost as bad, good mother,
As kill a king and marry with his brother.” (3.4 34-35)

He kind of tells her about how he feels about her marrying too soon and marrying his uncle. He is angry with her and being sassy to her. After he kills Polonius his mother tells him that it was a bad deed. He throws back at her that it was a bad deed for her to marry his uncle that killed the king. 
 This shows Hamlet acts the way he acts because he is angry with his mother for marrying his uncle and he is really sassy because of it. Before, I believe he was never full of anger, he was just a prince. But, when he father died he became full of anger. And it didn't help that his mother married so fast and to his uncle. The anger just piled on top of the anger he already had. He has to be sassy to them because it is a way for him to show them that he is angry with them.

He probably was happy being a prince and having his father/king by his side. But, when his father died he lost it. He became angry and depressed. ]]> 2016-04-15 14:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106031911 Quote allisonklinkosh https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106057830 "..Nor customary suits of solemn black,
Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,
Nor the dejected 'havior of the visage,
Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
That can denote me truly." (2.2 81-86)

Hamlet is there mourning his father's death. He is depressed because of his father's death and his mother's quick marriage.
 This shows Hamlet's downfall because before his father died I think that Hamlet was at his happiest. But when his father died he became angry and depressed. He is so depressed that his black clothing can't show how he truly feels as said in the quote above. He is so depressed that nothing can show how he feels. ]]> 2016-04-15 16:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106059167 Thesis Statement  allisonklinkosh https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106323729 Even though Hamlet has a growth mindset, he acts the way he acts because he feels betrayed by his mother, and his downfall is when his father dies. This makes him the man who he is today. ]]> 2016-04-18 14:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106323729 allisonklinkosh https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106606468 2016-04-19 17:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/allisonklinkosh/hamlet/wish/106606468
