Other Notes
Fortinbrass as a foil of Hamlet, Both uncles killed the dads & both names are the same (Hamlet>Hamlet, Fortinbra>Fortinbra) Fortinbra takes power of the kingdom, reveals Hamlets true story Importance of clothing, flowers and poison (flowers for sure) Symbols Yoricks Skull, Hamlet used to know Yorick, always wanted to know what happens in afterlife- ~Oh you become bones~ Discovers bones In graveyard Flowers- Ophelia gives certain flowers to certain people- and they symbolize who they really are Clothes- When people are crazy they wear weird clothes, or no clothes. Ophelia dressed like skank Unweeded garden- represents the chaos I Denmark, ever since Claudius ruling over Denmark,everyone started to realize unweeded gardens (quote as well) Hamlet refers to Denmark as prison Ghost wants Hamlet to avenge him in able to go to heaven, gave Hamlet idea, Hamlet upset because he must complete for father.
