hamlet

In Act 3 scenes 1 of Hamlet, writing by William Shakespeare, the deliverance of the line “to be or not to be” which is a question that is being ask from Hamlet to himself, has know for/and especially the most famous speech in literature. In speaking of this soliloquy, Hamlet wonders on how his life has started to shape and if he wants to continue living his life like this or whether he want his life to be over. But then in the rest of his soliloquy he has switch turns and asking himself of the unknowing, what death may hold for him. At this point of the play the author of the book Hamlet brings out a big step into the play that most reader won’t notice, and with that being said remembering that the title of this book isn’t “Hamlet” but it was mention at the beginning of the book that the title is “the tragedy of “Hamlet” prince of Denmark” by combining those two together it has officially tells us on how the process of Hamlet wanted to end his life is being played and what will happen next. Despite the know hardships of remaining alive, Hamlet’s decision doesn’t only makes him wondering what will happen after he’s gone, but also will makes his stepfather, and could-be father in law polonius a bit worried about him. In act 3 scene 1 line 176, the king, though speaking with a voice soft enough for Hamlet not to hear “his affections do not that way tend” which referrers to them thinking that Hamlet craziness over Polonius daughter isn’t what makes Hamlet speaking like that, that it must something else or that Hamlet is finally going crazy. Though at some point of the play it didn’t refers to Hamlet that the King and Polonius has being hiding and listening to all that he was saying, it makes it seems like he was being diverse about everything that he really was saying. Having to go the pains living with a betrayed father that has dishonor his late father, and to being put in a position of his family thinking that he might/become crazy, and his friends not acting the same way that they used to act, it seems that who he used to be has change and he was living someone else’s life. A general theme that is within the play seems to be "the power of the mind over the passions.” That is because Hamlet is the best of both mind and body - careful thought with swift execution. A better understanding of that would be on act 2 scene 2 with Polonius an Hamlet having some kind of conversation but all Hamlet is doing is ditching on Polonius and yet while he was saying weird words to Polonius, he was saying them with a way that kept secrets within in them, and Polonius noticing the secrets among them “though this be madness, yet there is method in’t.” By the time this part of the play comes, the thought of suicide does not exist for Hamlet. He's bent on revenge. "To be..." should be read, "to be conscious" or aware enough to succeed.Visualizing and hearing the tone of each and every one of the videos, it is seems that the second video by Alexander Fodor fits the play exquisitely. Having to know and understanding the starts of the play, even though in the second video, it shows a dead body and more people surrounding the dead body which was in attention. With that being said I still think that it is appropriate for the play, the dead body, the people around the body being kiss, and the guy making a tape of his soliloquy seems to be fitted well with the whole play. The reason for that is that in the first video show the character that is playing Hamlet standing at a mirror and asking himself question that just seems like thing he memorize from a play or something, and having a mirror in a situation like through the video off key because it officially make the play look blah and things look fake, the music didn’t go with what he was saying. Overall the actor look fake like what he was saying wasn’t deeply thought of and was sneaky about it. The sound the author uses was like a more dramatic sound brings the whole play to a different dimension. And if watching closely you will see that at exactly 2:44 when the character playing Hamlet was switching form his soliloquy to talking with Ophelia, in the play it make him seems more caring about her than in the video, in the video it make Ophelia look like she was disturbing him from something importing, with him posing before even talking to herThe other video by Laurence Olivier was out of the question on whether or not it could have an option to compare with Hamlet’ s style. From the start of the play with it being play next to a river, throws it off, the clothing that other uses to identify Hamlet view of craziness way, show it to but them it’s the way that the character playing Hamlet starts saying the line that makes it more disturbing to even wanted to watch it. Though in the second video that is being played that it skip the line “and by sleep say….” Most of the time you will find a disturbing to mess such a beautify soliloquy like Hamlet’s because of the character in the video 2 playing the role of Hamlet, handle the soliloquy so well that you don’t mind that there are a few words that aren’t suppose to be in place. The character shows deepness into the words that was offered to be act, and shows passion into the words. Even when the author switch ways to, making the camera zoom in so that we could see the deepness that the lines are being offered that most of them are really extravagant, I was watching the actors eyes while the sound of the words that was speaking track me into wanted to listening to that sadness, and questions that he was asking himself demanding himself to answers to. The music in the back ground brought in emotion that surrounds the fact that most people wanted something to catch their attention, and saying that getting the readers to understand the burning questions mark that and the whole soliloquy factor that still for most people leaves questions that need to be ask and more to be understanding, leave a choice to measuring the possibility of getting the vibe that is needed to surround the play entirely.
