3. How Shakespeare describe hamlet?

Hamlet, the protagonist of William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," is the Prince of Denmark.
The play revolves around Hamlet's quest for revenge against his uncle, King Claudius, who
has murdered Hamlet's father (the previous king) to seize the throne and marry Hamlet's
mother, Queen Gertrude. Hamlet is a complex character, known for his introspection and
indecision. Throughout the play, he grapples with existential questions, moral dilemmas,
and internal conflicts.

What does Hamlet do?

As Hamlet's uncle and the new king of Denmark, Claudius is wary of Hamlet. He sees Hamlet as a threat
and is suspicious of his actions, particularly his erratic behavior and seeming madness. Claudius is also
guilty of murdering Hamlet's father, and he views Hamlet with increasing concern as the prince becomes
more determined to uncover the truth.

What Hamlet says?

"To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing, end them."
These lines are often quoted and are recognized as a contemplation of the existential dilemma
faced by Hamlet. The play itself is a tragedy that explores themes of revenge, madness, and the
complexities of human nature. If you have a specific quote or passage in mind, feel free to ask
about it, and I'll do my best to provide information.

How others saw Hamlet?

Hamlet is often portrayed as a highly intelligent and thoughtful character. He is
known for his deep contemplation and philosophical musings. The famous
soliloquy "To be or not to be" is a prime example of his intellectual depth.

4. How Shakespeare describe Ophelia?

Ophelia is often portrayed as a young, innocent, and virtuous character. She is depicted as
a young woman of noble birth, and her purity is emphasized by her interactions with her
brother, Laertes, and her father, Polonius.

What does Ophelia do?

Ophelia's mental state deteriorates following her father's death. She exhibits signs of
madness, including singing and distributing flowers with symbolic meanings. In Act IV,
Scene VII, news reaches the king and queen that Ophelia has drowned. The circumstances
of her death are unclear—whether it was accidental or intentional—but her death is a
tragic turning point in the play.

What Ophelia says?

Ophelia speaks with her brother Laertes and father Polonius. Polonius gives her advice on
Hamlet and tells her to avoid his advances. Ophelia responds obediently to her father's
instructions:

"I shall the effect of this good lesson keep

As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother,

Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,

Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven,

Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,

Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads

And recks not his own rede."

How others see Ophelia?

Hamlet's view of Ophelia undergoes a significant change. Initially, he appears to
genuinely love her. However, as he becomes more consumed by his quest for
revenge and the political intrigue at the Danish court, he rejects Ophelia harshly.
His behavior contributes to her emotional turmoil and descent into madness.
Hamlet's treatment of Ophelia is often interpreted as a manifestation of his
internal conflicts and distrust of others.

5 How Shakespeare describe King Claudius?

Claudius is depicted as a shrewd and politically astute ruler. He manages to win the trust
and support of the court and demonstrates leadership qualities that help him maintain
control over Denmark. His ability to navigate political intricacies is evident throughout the
play.

What does King Claudius do?

The play begins with the death of King Hamlet, Claudius's brother. Claudius is revealed to have
murdered him by pouring poison into his ear. This act is the catalyst for much of the conflict in
the play.
What King Claudius says?
"O, my offence is rank, it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon ’t,
A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will."
(Act 3, Scene 3) - Claudius confesses his guilt and the weight of his actions in a soliloquy during
the prayer scene

How others see King Claudius?

In general, there is a mix of loyalty, suspicion, and opportunism among the characters in their
perception of King Claudius. Hamlet's view of Claudius as a villainous usurper sets the tone for
much of the play, influencing how other characters and the audience perceive the king.
6 How Shakespeare describe Queen Gertrudes?

Gertrude is portrayed as a sensual and passionate woman. Her hasty marriage to Claudius,
King Hamlet's brother, suggests a certain degree of sensuality and desire. However, her
relationship with Hamlet is more complex, and she is also depicted as a caring mother

What does Queen Gertrudes do?

One of Queen Gertrude's most significant actions is her swift marriage to Claudius, King
Hamlet's brother, shortly after the king's death. This marriage is a source of great distress for
her son, Prince Hamlet, who sees it as a betrayal and is suspicious of the circumstances
surrounding King Hamlet's death.

What does Queen Gertrudes says?

No, no! the drink, the drink! O my dear Hamlet!

The drink, the drink! I am poisoned."

These quotes capture some of Queen Gertrude's interactions with other characters and
reflect her emotions and thoughts throughout the play. Queen Gertrude's character is
complex, and her speeches contribute to the themes of the play, including family dynamics,
betrayal, and the consequences of political intrigue.

ranging from suspicion and resentment to political pragmatism. Her character is
central to the play's exploration of familial relationships, political intrigue, and the
consequences of betrayal.
