Hamlet by Vanessa Rocca https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di What lessons did Shakespeare set out to teach about HUMAN NATURE in this play? en-us 2018-04-09 17:52:43 UTC 2025-11-14 00:52:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249959710 Shakepeare tells us that we can not trust everyone, the people who we trust the most could be our biggest threat. He also tells us that if we overthink things we will set our expectations to high and we will never be completly satisfied with the outcome.]]> 2018-04-09 17:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249959710 Shakespeare tells us to set our minds to whatever it is that we want to accomplish and seize the moment https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249960065 He also tells us that our morals are at times the biggest obstacles. Not everyone will set out to kill a king but he basically tells us to not take a situation out of proportions.
For example, Hamlet does not commit regicide when he had the chance.

Hamlet forgets about his personal life to avenge his father. He disregards the potential loss of his life and even the love from Ophelia to do so. 

Mental health is a serious issue. Harsh situations can truly make people crazy. Ophelia's madness which was real shows how a death of a relative can take a toll on someone. Hamlet's madness can also be argued]]> 2018-04-09 17:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249960362 https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249960454 - in my opinion, shakespeare is telling us that there's no good or bad thing, it's the fact that we over think about our decision that makes our action bad or good. He also set out to teach us that humans are prisoner of their own mind. ]]> 2018-04-09 17:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249960454 Shakespeare tends to show us that we need to find a good moment to achieve our aims and to not let madness take control of us because even if we have made good plans, madness could lead us a to different/negative way https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249961802 Even our relatives of family members could betray us in order to get themselves out of danger ( for example Gertrude when she told the King about Hamlet) ]]> 2018-04-09 17:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249961802 Claudie https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249961816 Shakespeare tell us that your close friends and family can be your enemies. He also showed us how power can overcome trust.

Alexandre https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249964850 Shapespear show us the negative side in human nature throughout the play with Hamlet. Tells us that some peoples human nature is rank. He says :
"How weary, stale, flat and unprofitableSeem to me all the uses of this world!Fie on't! ah, fie! 'tis an unweeded gardenThat grows to seed; things rank and gross in naturePossess it merely. "(Act 1, Scene 2)]]> 2018-04-09 18:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249964850 DEATH vrocca https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249972489 -What happens after death?
-Everyone dies, so this is a common factor
-Death as an equalizer - it doesn't matter who you were (or how important you were) when you were alive, everyone is going to die and end up in the same place (in the ground).
-Social status doesn't really matter in the end, due to the fact that death takes all of that away from you ]]> 2018-04-09 18:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249972489 Social Status vrocca https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249974139 -Link to death as an equalizer because social class doesn't matter
-Hamlet was usurped from the throne by Claudius (his uncle, who was not supposed to be king) - and Denmark's social structure collapsed. There was much turmoil, and this is linked to the concept of the Divine Right of Kings - since Hamlet, the rightful king, was not on the throne, the country fell to pieces. 
-Ophelia's funeral - due to the fact that Ophelia committed suicide, she should not have received a Christian burial. However, due to her social status, she did. WHY IS THIS PROBLEMATIC? 
-Difficulties with Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship : Polonius did not believe it would be a viable match (because Hamlet is a prince, and O is not of royal blood).]]> 2018-04-09 18:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vrocca/uk1t1niu58di/wish/249974139
