After only a few weeks, Claudius married Gertrude, the old king’s wife. Hamlet angry with his mother because she remarried so quickly. He also hated Claudius, his stepfather.
One cold, dark night on the walls of Elsinore Castle, a friend of Hamlet’s saw the ghost of the hamlet’s father. The friend told Hamlet about the ghost and that night, they both went up onto the castle walls. It was another very cold night, and as the clock struck midnight, the ghost suddenly appeared.
He took hamlet aside and talked to him. ‘People say a poisonous snake killed me but they are wrong. I was sleeping in my garden when Claudius came and he put poison in my ear! It was a painful death. Your uncle is a very evil man. You must take revenge for my murder and kill him! But please, do not harm your mother!’ then the ghost disappeared.
Hamlet was full of anger and hatred. He wanted to kill Claudius, but he was indecisive. He started behaving strangely and Claudius began to suspect that hamlet knew something. He asked Polonius, his chief minister, to find out about Hamlet’s strange behavior.
Polonius knew that Hamlet was in love with his daughter, Ophelia. He sent her to look for Hamlet to find out what was wrong. When Ophelia found Hamlet, he was thinking about life and death:”To be, or not be-that is the question…”. Ophelia tried to comfort Hamlet but he became angry and told her get out of his life. Ophelia was very upset and believed Hamlet was mad.
A few days later, hamlet was walking around the castle when he saw Claudius. Claudius was praying. Hamlet had to make a quick decision. ‘Now is my chance to kill him’ he thought. ‘But no, not while he is praying, he will go straight to heaven.’
Hamlet went to his mother’s room. She looked sad. ‘you have offended your father,’ said Gertrude. ‘and, mother, you have offended my father,’ replied hamlet. While they were talking, hamlet heard a noise behind a curtain. He was suspicious and thought it was Claudius. This time, hamlet was decisive. He took out his sword and killed the person behind the curtain. But it was not Claudius, it was Polonius!
The situation in Elsinore was getting worse. Claudius sent Hamlet to England. While he was there, Ophelia went mad and killed herself. When hamlet returned, he was more depressed, now both his father and Ophelia were dead while the evil Claudius was still alive!
Soon, Laertes, Ophelia’s brother, arrived in Elsinore. He blamed Hamlet for the deaths of his father and sister, and challenged him. Claudius wanted hamlet to lose and so he poisoned Laerte’s sword. He also prepared a glass of poisoned wine to give to hamlet in case he won.
The fight began. During the fight, hamlet’s mother, Gertrude drank some the poisoned wine from hamlet’s cup. Hamlet cut Laertes told hamlet that his sword and the wine were poisoned and that it was Claudius, and then died himself. Then Hamlet force Claudius to drink the poisoned wine, and Claudius die. Hamlet has only the time to name Fortinbras, a friend of him as heir. The drama ends with Hamlet's funeral.]]> 2017-05-23 15:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173429986 conforzigiorgio60 https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173432852 The story of Hamlet is set in the late Middle Ages in and around the royal castle in Elsinore, a city in Denmark.
Like England, Denmark was Protestant and Shakespeare's choice of Denmark may be due also to the development of the plot. For example,the subplot deals with a possible war against Norway]]> 2017-05-23 16:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173432852 conforzigiorgio60 https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173433622 Hamlet is the most talkative of all Shakespeare's characters.
A French psychoanalyst thinks that the real psychological dimension of the play lies not in Hamlet's behaviour but in his language.
The most striking characteristic of Hamlet's language is ambiguity. Everything he say is conveyed through methapor, smile and wordplay. His words have a hidden meaning.
The shock of Hamlet receives on the death of his father and the re-marriage of his mother is the cause of hi melancholy]]> 2017-05-23 16:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173433622 conforzigiorgio60 https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173434861 Hamlet could be read simply as a revenge tragedy and in it Shakespeare develops a series of themes that are central ho humanity:
°The relationship between father and son
°Love relationship
°Madness
°Youth and age
Hamlet is also a play of life in death and of man's ambiguous relatioship with both.
Another important theme is Honour and honourable action. The theme of honour makes it clear at any action to correct a wrong should be reasoned]]> 2017-05-23 16:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173434861 conforzigiorgio60 https://padlet.com/conforzigiorgio60/fgfmablufvoe/wish/173435854 In the third act there is a play-within-the-play wich is the only true thing in the play ,since it is wanted by Hamlet to expose his father's murderer.
