For my final project, I have decided to create a lenticular image. This is described as images with the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. This connects to the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare because during the play we follow the idea of how different perspectives can change how one views a situation. One side of the lenticular image shows a photo of artwork by Piet Mondrian. Mondrian’s artwork is composed of many different-sized boxes. Some of the boxes are filled with different primary colors. This piece of artwork represents how Hamlet views himself and his plan. He believes that his plan is well thought out and calculated. In a conversation with Horatio, Hamlet says “But come; / Here, as before, never, …show more content…

This quote shows that Hamlet has thought out his plan. He warns Horatio, someone he trusts, and tells him that every action no matter how crazy it may seem is well thought out and part of his plan. This relates to the image because every color in the artwork has a place to be. They are placed meticulously and contained within their box. No color goes outside their box which relates to how Hamlet believes that he has his emotions under control and well contained. However, later in the story, …show more content…

This quote shows that Claudius believes that Hamlet’s reason for his madness is due to the death of his father. Claudius tells Hamlet that he needs to get over the death of his father. He says everyone must experience this sort of sorrow and that it is just the way life goes. He continues to believe that this is the only cause for Hamlet’s lunacy until Hamlet’s plan starts to play out. Claudius then recognizes that Hamlet is angry and wants revenge. The swirl of colors seems to come together in the middle which connects to how Claudius has finally realized why Hamlet has gone mad. Claudius watches a play that was put on by Hamlet where the plot follows that of his father’s murder. Claudius then admits to his guilt when saying “O, my offense 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: / My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent”(Shakespeare 3.3.36-41). This is when Claudius admits to killing his brother and admits that he feels guilty for it. He recognizes that he can not pray this away and that there is no good reason why someone would kill their brother. The messiness of the

In this speech, Claudius wisely starts off with the recognition of Denmark’s grief over the death of King Hamlet through the use of personification where it says, “ our whole kingdom to be contracted in one brow of woe). This helps emphasize that Denmark, as a whole, has suffered a loss. He also says that he still has fresh (green) memories of his brother. He starts off his speech saying all of this because he wants Denmark to think that he is also grieving with them as a nation and that he not only lost a King like everyone else but he also lost a brother. His use of language in speech really exemplifies how Claudius is the master of deception - in the middle of his speech from lines 5 to 6, he justifies his marriage to Gertrude by my making

“Figurative language adds pizzazz. It raises work above the plain, the dull, the ordinary," said Ellen Hunnicutt, a successful American writer. In order to make writing stand out, and be engrossed, the writer needs to include figurative language. In the stories “Canyons” by Gary Paulsen, and “Treasure of Lemon Brown” by Walter Dean Myers, all use a common stylistic technique of figurative language to get the characters and setting across to the reader of the story.

This hunger for revenge encapsulates Hamlet in a casket of anger and hatred for Claudius who struck Hamlet’s father down in cold blood soon after Hamlet converses with the ghost of his father, the late King Hamlet. Through this dialogue, Hamlet learns that Claudius played a key role in the slaying of King Hamlet and had kept it from the view of the public. After this revelation occurs, Hamlet then commits to dispersing all life from the body of Claudius, quickly following the newly discovered, heinous actions of the suspected tyrant. However, Hamlet’s anger and fury clouded his judgement and heavily influenced the monumental decisions that he made during the poem to be, less than adequate as a whole. The story of Hamlet signifies the theme of revenge in a manner that defines how it can corrupt and destroy a person both, emotionally and physically.

In the David Tennet video clip of the infamous “To be or not to be” speech Hamlet says from the movie of Hamlet in which Tennet Portrays Hamlet, helps to add clarity to the audience of the portrayal of this speech. Hamlet is “alone” during this and to help add that feeling of aloneness the producers of this particular movie and scene, made the surroundings darker to emphasize the feeling of being alone that Hamlet feels, even though people are listening to this speech, although they are not pictured in the clip. The background colors and darkness helping to create this alone atmosphere help to then emphasize the tone of Tennet during the portrayal of this speech. The tone is one that is serious, solemn, and sad all at the same time, these feeling which is conveyed through Tennet's tone throughout the speech helps add to the seriousness of this speech, and helps to emphasize the points of death, humanity, feeling alone, and betrayal that is all present within the words used in this speech.

I like that he is shown descending the stairs into darkness; symbolizing Hamlet’s descent into madness, as well as darkness. Through his is questioning of life, one can see he is bereaved. Consequently, he goes to his father, or his tomb, to speak with him. In hopes he may find an answer, he looks up to the sky. I feel this is vital to the scene in order to display Hamlet’s desperateness.

At this scene, it’s also when Hamlet decides to understand the mistakes that he has made and face the consequences, but not be afraid because that’s how his fate ended up to be. Secondly, Hamlet understands the value that life gives because he told Horatio not to kill himself. When Horatio admits that he’s, “more an antique Roman than a Dane” (V.II.360), Hamlet quickly tells Horatio, “if thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,/ Absent thee from felicity awhile/ And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain/ To tell my story” (V.II.367-370).

“Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so”, is said by Hamlet during Scene 2, Act 2, of the Shakespearean play, Hamlet. This quote discusses the complexities of thinking, and how overthinking can cause a distorted and impractical idea of reality. In the eyes of a moral idealist, such as Hamlet, this contemplative state causes the character to see only the good outcomes of a situation. Through this idea, in both the Kenneth Branagh and the Gregory Doran’s theatrical renditions of the play, through the use of music, colour, and symbols in the Closet Scene, one can infer that hamlet is in fact a moral idealist.

Firstly, Hamlet is a play of a man by the name of Hamlet, whose father was murdered by Claudius, his uncle. Claudius murdered the king by pouring poison in his ear to claim the throne for himself.
