It had been so with us, had we been there:

His liberty is full of threats to all;

To you yourself, to us, to every one.

Alas, how shall this bloody deed be answer'd?"]]> 2017-12-19 15:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217268448 meyaek https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217268822 "Truly to speak, and with no addition,

we go to gain a little patch of ground

That hath in it no profit but the name.

To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it;

Nor will it yield to Norway or the Pole

A ranker rate, should it be sold in fee."]]> 2017-12-19 15:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217268822 meyaek https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217269493
Cries cuckold to my father, brands the harlot

Even here, between the chaste unsmirched brow

Of my true mother."]]> 2017-12-19 15:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217269493 meyaek https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217270450 "And so have I a noble father lost;

A sister driven into desperate terms,

Whose worth, if praises may go back again,

Stood challenger on the mount of all the age

For her perfections: but my revenge will come."]]> 2017-12-19 15:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217270450 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568523 This restates Laertes's devotion to revenge. Not only does he have to avenge his fathers murder, but the cause of his sisters death too. The reoccurring death appears here: making up for one persons death through the death of another. This is important because Laertes suspected Hamlet--because he was "crazy"--and the final action could take place. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568523 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568539 The importance of this quote is the clear example it promotes of infectious madness. Throughout the play there is an ongoing theme of madness amongst major characters. This quote exposes Laertes’s newly found madness. Much like Hamlet, loss drives him to revengeful violence: murder. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568539 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568580 In my opinion, this introduces confirmation of Laertes' plan for revenge with the last line of the quote. He plans to seek revenge for the deaths he has suffered and suddenly, he seems to be just as made as Hamlet--seeking vengeance and fueled by anger and desperation. Now, Laertes thoughts mirror that of Hamlet's in the beginning of the play. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568580 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568618 When Laertes says this line, it drives home the plot as a whole. It is significant because it reflects how he too has lost throughout the play. Nonetheless, he lost a father just as Hamlet had. It deals with the overwhelming theme of despair, lost, and death. This is said towards the end of the play, and it is full of grief, which is the original idea which launched Hamlet into his game of madness in the first place.]]> 2017-12-20 18:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568618 hidee_d_23 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568775 This furthers the plot because this is were Hamlet realizes there are people out there more motivated them him. The theme it includes is showing what people will sacrifice in order to get what they want. The big picture is that they will be able to say they accomplished their goal despite their losses.]]> 2017-12-20 18:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568775 bsheffield1 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568894 It furthurs the plot by adding to the deeds, like murder and treachory. The main deed which is the murder of Old Hamlet perfectly fits the ideas, the theme, and the motif of death by saying it over and over again in the play.]]> 2017-12-20 18:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217568894 hreed17 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569027 2017-12-20 18:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569027 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569086 I believe this quote from Laertes summarizes the plot as a whole.  There are multiple deaths and characters are going through many  issues that, like Ophelia, causes them to go to desperate measures.]]> 2017-12-20 18:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569086 jcieglo https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569096 This quote directly refers to the drastic violence brought about over an insignificant and minute piece of land. Each character portrays petty tendencies throughout the plot. This relates to the overall theme of bad-blood.]]> 2017-12-20 18:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569096 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569141 I️ feel like this furthers the plot of madness. Within these lines I️t shows that he is seeking revenge for the deaths he has had to suffer through. He along with hamlet want to get revenge but in the worst way which is to commit murder. I️t shows that they want revenge so badly that they will murder to get even, Laertes had to deal with both his sister and father dying, so they just murder to make their madness go away but I️t just creates more madness for the people around them. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569141 cbarjak00 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569244 This quote is significant because it portrays madness to another character other than Hamlet. It reveals that Laertese plans revenge for his sister’s death by taking another life.  Laertese thoughts and actions are becoming similar to Hamlet’s. Is Hamlet really crazy? If so, does that mean Laertese is too?]]> 2017-12-20 18:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569244 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569350 Here, Laertes furthers the idea of central themes: loss, betrayal, and revenge. He reveals his motivations, those being to avenge the death of the two closest to him. We foresee Hamlet's death through Laertes statement. His love for Ophelia will lead to his revenge of Hamlet, as he is who he faults. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569350 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569457 Laertes proclaims to Claudius that he is no longer calm in any sense of the word. This is when Laertes truly blows up. He is explaining just how fed up he is with the way fate has served him and how Hamlet’s acts will have repercussions. This quote is responsible for driving the plot towards conflict between Laertes and Hamlet.]]> 2017-12-20 18:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569457 tdickenson https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569772 This is a significant quote because, in a parallel between his losses to Hamlet's, it preambles the extensiveness of Laertes' grief and vengeance. The motif of vengeance furthers the plot by ]]> 2017-12-20 18:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569772 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569943 When Claudius says this, it is ironic because his true thoughts contradict his words. The idea of the death of the great king spoken by his murderer deals with the motif of betrayal and revenge.

]]> 2017-12-20 18:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569943 hidee_d_23 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569979 This furthers the plot because Laertes is showing he is mad at the king, which is not good. The king uses his anger and directs it toward Hamlet. This deals with the theme of Claudius using people as tools to get rid of Hamlet. The big picture is that, instead of punishing Laertes for threatening him, the king decides to use Laertes. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217569979 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570085 This scene reflects the thoughts of Hamlet. As he continues to struggle with fulfilling the deed of killing Claudius, this serves as a large push for him. If one person can stomach the idea of having thousands of deaths on their hands, then why can Hamlet not just simply kill Claudius who is only one person? ]]> 2017-12-20 18:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570085 bsheffield1 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570325 This adds to the foil of Hamlet and Laertes but it also makes him more violent and willing to do things without thinking before he does them which is unlike Hamlet who waits and plans things out.]]> 2017-12-20 18:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570325 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570363 This scene shows how Hamlet thinks of the land. It has no profit but the name, so he might feel as though fighting over it is pointless. The thought of fighting with Fortinbras is weaved slighly through the story so it will not be forgotten--since Fortinbras shows himself at the end to claim the crown. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570363 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570525 Laertes is mad at the king. But the king uses this madness to get back at Hamlet. He uses the madness to create the murder of Hamlet, he will not take fault for what happened. But this helps develope the plot because it goes to show that people around all the characters try to create madness to cause the craziness and cause people to want to kill for revenge. ]]> 2017-12-20 18:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217570525 cbarjak00 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217617365 This quote reveals all of Laertese’s emotions. He finally explodes and shows he is angry with the king. Although, the king doesn’t get angry with Laertese. Instead, he uses Laertese as a pawn in his plan to get rid of Hamelt. The King will do anything to keep his throne.  This zones in on the conflict between not only between Laertese and Hamlet, but also between the King and Hamlet. ]]> 2017-12-21 00:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217617365 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217618683 This is clear parallel between Laertes and Hamlet. They both lost people they love--their own father and Ophelia. For this reason, they have both grown crazier and are motivated by their madness. This shows the motif of death that is seen throughout the novel.]]> 2017-12-21 00:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217618683 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217619820 This quote directly ties with the theme of obligation. Laertes believes that he must take revenge, or he does not deserve to be his father's son, hence the obligation. This even shows the willingness to kill for family, an idea shown from everyone.]]> 2017-12-21 01:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217619820 samanthachristensen_2 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217691988 I think this quote is significant because it shows how Laertese feels about the events that have happened. He is upsets and wants to get back at those that have hurt him. Overall, the quote shows the trusty about Laertese and his feeling towards revenge]]> 2017-12-21 13:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217691988 claytonmaksymiuk https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217693061 This quote furthers the plot, once again proving Claudius’s motives. After Laertes yells at the king, Claudius redirects his anger to Hamlet, using him to further his own goal. ]]> 2017-12-21 13:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217693061 samanthachristensen_2 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217694968 In my opinion, this quote revealed a theme that takes place throughout the book with Claudius. He is the kill yet says this. It is ironic that Claudius would say this, but looking at the book at a whole this is who he is. He is a character that manipulates and does anything he can to keep his crown.]]> 2017-12-21 13:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217694968 skesler3 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217711335 This quote shows Laertes's strive to avenge his father's death.

He is furious with Hamlet because he believes that he is to blame for everything bad that has happened. All that he wants is to avenge his father and sister and is willing to do whatever it takes to do so.]]> 2017-12-21 14:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217712273 skesler3 https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217712821 This quote from Laertes furthers the plot by revealing his madness.  Each character in the book slowly goes mad throughout the play, and this is when the audience realizes Laertes is descending into madness.  It also reveals the King's motives because he directs all of Laertes emotions onto Hamlet.]]> 2017-12-21 14:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/meyaek/osklfzeo5i6y/wish/217712821
