The theme of madness is shown throughout the act many time. Some examples are: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1658457621 2021-07-22 16:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1658457621 Quote and Analysis 1: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1658458301 Quote: “Oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,/ Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,/ Or that the Everlasting had not fixed/ His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God, God!/ How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable/ Seem to me all the uses of this world!”
(1. 2. 129-134).

Context behind this quote:
In Act 1 Scene 2, Hamlet is essentially expressing that he wishes his flesh would melt and vaporize into dew so he could leave all of his problem's behind.

Analysis: The theme of madness is shown in this quote because it illustrates how given his father's recent death and his turbulent relationship with his mother Gertrude,  Hamlet is being attacked from the inside which is resulting in his madness and a depressed life. ]]> 2021-07-22 16:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1658458301 Theme: Madness 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659472702 2021-07-23 15:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659472702 Character: Hamlet 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659473384 2021-07-23 15:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659473384 Character: King Claudius 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659473584 2021-07-23 15:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659473584 Connections: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659473918 2021-07-23 15:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659473918 Quote and Analysis 1: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659490737 Quote: “that the Everlasting had not fixed/ His canon 'gainst self-slaughter!” 
(1. 2. 131-132).

Context behind this quote:  
In Act 1 Scene 2, Hamlet is expressing his wish for his flesh to melt and evaporate into dew.

Analysis: This quote sums up Hamlet's downfall. It shows him debating whether or not to commit suicide because he is depressed and wants to leave all of his problems behind, but he does not want to commit a major sin and end up in hell.

Context behind this quote:
In Act 5 Scene 2, Claudius is poisoned by Hamlet's poisoned sword, and the remainder of the poisoned wine is poured down his throat.

Analysis: This quote illustrates how Claudius discovers that he has been poisoned by his own plan and realises that it is too late and that he will die as a result. His idea was to poison a cup of wine in the hopes of quenching the thirst of the two guys after they had battled for a time. This strategy develops the plot because, as a result, it backfires.]]> 2021-07-23 15:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659491204 Hamlet is primary cause of his death is due to his inaction and is responsible for his downfall. This is evident from the play, for example: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659491961 2021-07-23 15:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659491961 Claudius changes from seeming to be a competent ruler to being killed by his own plan. This is evident from the play, for example: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659494207 2021-07-23 15:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659494207 Quote and Analysis 2: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659620347 Quote: “Excellent well. You are a fishmonger.” (2. 2. 66)







Context behind this quote:
In Act 2, Scene 2, Hamlet calls Polonius a fishmonger which means that he sells fish.

Analysis:  Hamlet's madness has him verbally attacking Polonius for his beliefs about and treatment of his daughter, Ophelia, using the phrase fishmonger, which has been connected to the word pimp.]]> 2021-07-23 19:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659620347 MEMES FROM HAMLET :) 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659620743 2021-07-23 19:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659620743 Quote and Analysis 3: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659620957 Quote: “I am but mad north-north-west. When the/ wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a/ handsaw.” (2. 2. 351).








Context behind this quote:
In Act 2 Scene 2, Hamlet implies that he can tell the difference between his rivals and his friends. This comment is directed towards Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, his fake friends, from when they betrayed and spied on him.

Analysis: This quote shows the theme of madness because it illistrates that for Hamlet, madness comes very quick and  unexpectedly and how at times, he can make crucial differences, such as between a hawk and a handsaw.]]> 2021-07-23 19:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659620957 Quote and Analysis 2: 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659666885 Quote: “It will not speak. Then I will follow it.” (1. 4. 67).

Context behind this quote:  
In Act 1 Scene 4, Hamlet has a fatal flaw which is his failure to act immediately but instead procrastinates.






Analysis: This quote also shows the downfall of Hamlet. It shows how his personality and his indecisive decision causes him to not act quickly to kill Claudius, his uncle who was the murderer of his father.

Context behind this quote: In Act 3 Scene 4, Hamlet calls Rosencrantz and Guildenstern adders fanged which means to poison others with their lies and the other used to describe traitors.

Analysis: This quote shows how Hamlet knew Rosencrantz and Guildenstern betrayed Hamlet and conducted him to some kind of trick, villainy, or trap which caused the downfall of Hamlet.

In Hamlet, there are many forms of surveillance that are shown in the text.  For example, In Act 2 Scene 1, Raynaldo is sent by Polonius to go spy on Laertes. In Act 2 Scene 2, Claudius and Gertrude, who are friends with Hamlet, set Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to spy on him.]]> 2021-07-23 21:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659667726 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980395 2021-07-24 15:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980395 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980576 2021-07-24 15:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980576 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980637 2021-07-24 15:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980637 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1659980780 In the real world, surveillance is used to monitor any suspicious or forbidden behaviour in all public places in modern age.

My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen” (3. 3. 54–58).

Context behind this quote:
In Act 3 Scene 3, Hamlet finds Claudius praying for his shameful act. He feels to guilty and ashamed to pray and he discovers that he is unable to raise his voice to God.

Analysis: When Hamlet finds Claudius praying, he cannot execute his plan of killing Claudius because he thinks that a person murdered while praying gets to Heaven, and he refuses to reward his father's killer.

Is thy union here?/ Follow my mother.” (5. 2. 320-322).

Context behind this quote:
From this quote by Hamlet, it can be interpreted that Claudius is being forced to drink poison from Hamlet.












Analysis: In Act 5, Scene 2, Claudius dies shortly after Laertes's fatal duel with Hamlet. This quote perfectly exemplifies how Claudius changes from seeming to be a competent ruler to being killed by his own plan.]]> 2021-07-25 14:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660313845 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660318682 2021-07-25 14:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660318682 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660428204 2021-07-25 21:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660428204 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660428317 2021-07-25 21:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660428317 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660428397 2021-07-25 21:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660428397 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660429133  ]]> 2021-07-25 21:43:02 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660429133 335711016 https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660448580 2021-07-25 23:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/335711016/lezkbjqwnrx6rbii/wish/1660448580
