Explain these two lines

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
At least, I am sure, it may be so in Denmark
Hamlet exclaims disappointedly that his uncle is really a damned villain although

the Denmark are also villian. This refers that Hamlet is in his complete pessimism.
28

A paraphrases of :
O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?
And shall I couple hell? O, fie! — Hold, my heart;
And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,
But bear me stiffly up. — Remember thee!

Paraphrase: ah, all you up in heaven! And earth! What else? Shall I include hell as
well? Damn it! Keep beating, my heart, and muscles, don’t grow old yet- keep me
standing. Remember you !
29

Identify and analyze the literary technique used in:

And shall I couple hell? O, fie! — Hold, my heart;
And you, my sinews, grow not instant old,

Literary technique: “heart, sinew” apostrophe because Hamlet talks to his heart, his
sinews as if they were humans.
30

Paraphrase the following lines from Hamlet’s soliloquy:

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
At least, I am sure, it may be so in Denmark

where’s my notebook? - it’s a good idea for me to write down that one can smile
and smile, and be a villain. At least it’s possible in Denmark.
31

A paraphrase of
Yea, from the table of my memory
I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past,
That youth and observation copied there;
From Hamlet is
Yes, I’ll wipe my mind clean of all trivials facts and memories and preserve only
your commandment there.
Hamlet promises to himself that he will forget all the trivial fond records of the
past, all the good things he had been learnt from the books and other people,
especially from his youth because all these things are different from what he is
suffering now. And from now, he just memorised what the ghost says
32

The literary techniques of the underlined in

O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?
And shall I couple hell? O, fie! — Hold, my heart;

Are: - host of heaven: metaphor because the writer compare host of heaven with
the God without using “as, like”.
- O:
+ exclamatory word
+ Onomatopoeia because it is an imitation of the sound made by people who are
shocked and exclaim.
- “ heart”:Apostrophe because Hamlet talks to his heart.
33

Why does Hamlet hesitate to kill Claudius?

Because he wants to have more time to find evidence. Moreover, it’s not easy for

34

Why was Hamlet doubtful?

It’s just the Ghost’s story
