On November 22, 1963 time froze when the beloved John F. Kennedy was tragically taken from this world. We will be looking at two accounts of the assassination, the first will be the official account AKA, the Warren commission 's report. The second will be from Doug Horne and his 5 volume work with the Assassination Records Review Board. After we have looked at the two accounts I will then tell you what I believe happened.
Hamlet reaches for the dropped dagger and wounds Laertes and then lunges over also killing Claudius too. As Gertrude, Laertes, and Hamlet begin to die it is Laertes that recognizes the gaps in the story and is able to place Ophelia as the cause of all of their problems. In Hamlet’s last moments he is forgiven for the misconception about his sanity. Ophelia’s truth is revealed but it is too late to save those who were poisoned. Horatio observed the scene play out and is awe stricken by the total misconception that was
Hamlet was fighting someone that his uncle wanted to poison him with the sword. Claudius fixed Hamlet a drink, but Hamlet did not drink it. He got cute but he kept winning so his mother wanted to take a drink. She took a drink and tried to give him one but the didn’t want to drink any.
However, at one point during the duel, they switched swords, so when both are wounded, both are poisoned. Claudius also poisons the glass of wine for Hamlet to drink, however, the Queen drinks it instead and dies slowly. When Hamlet realizes
Threatened by his step-son, Hamlet, Claudius sets up a plan to try to kill Hamlet. He enters Hamlet into a fencing battle, but puts poison on the end of his opponent’s foil. Just in case Hamlet does not make contact with the end of his opponent’s sword, Claudius puts poison in a cup of wine that will be handed to Hamlet if he wins the duel. In the heat of the battle, Hamlet and his opponent end up switching swords, killing Hamlet’s opponent instead of himself. In addition, Hamlet’s mother ends up drinking from the winner’s wine cup.
Even though Hamlet is passionate about his mother, there is never a direct act from the prince that shows his sudden love and protection for her. Gertrude shows him an act of love by rising for his accomplishments during the fencing match and toasting a drink of wine to him. Unfortunately, that wine is intended for Hamlet’s consumption, and is filled with poison. Gertrude then shows an act of protection when she screams out to warn Prince Hamlet that the wine is indeed poisoned, saying “No, no, the drink, the drink!—O my dear Hamlet! The drink, the drink!
The soliloquy in Act 4 Scene 4 of Hamlet by Shakespeare is a crucial part of the play, as Hamlet decides to seek revenge for his father’s death. In this scene, the central theme of revenge is accompanied by themes of religion, decay, and corruption. Hamlet sees Fortinbras’ army and realizes how many men bravely faced death to defend their honor; this enables him to connect to his father’s murder and how he should seek vengeance. The sight of the army not only influences Hamlet’s actions, but also demonstrates the political discourse during the time of the play. These themes of decay and corruption are addressed in the political discourse in this scene along with Hamlet’s use of religion to justify seeking revenge.
Queen Gertrude stood up and took the drink for Hamlet. Looks of bewilderment came across the King and Laertes faces but nothing could be done. As Hamlet watched his mother for the last time Laertes took a swing and slit open a part of his arm, nothing lethal except for the later found poison on the end of his sword. Though before Hamlets poison could kick in he ad stabbed Laertes in the chest. Though when he looked back at the king and queen, Gertrude had fallen and died.
Hamlet wished to punish Gertrude but was prevented by his father’s ghost. In Hamlet’s soliloquy in Act 3 scene 2, Hamlet will “speak daggers to her but use none” representing his future interactions with Gertrude. Shakespeare uses this metaphor to show Hamlet’s hatred towards his mother and to create tension. In Act 3 Scene 4, Hamlet reveals Claudius’ involvement in his father’s death to his mother, but she thinks Hamlet has turned into a madman. At this
Hamlet, written by famous playwright and poet, William Shakespeare, is frequently referred to as the “Mona Lisa” of literature. The true purpose and complete understanding of the play is, up to this day, not remotely knowledgeable by scholars and the audience alike. The play has led to much conversation about what Shakespeare was ultimately trying to accomplish with it. One vexed and widely referred critique was that made by T.S. Eliot, in which he described, “The ‘madness’ of Hamlet lay to Shakespeare’s hand…a deliberate dissimulation, but a form of emotional relief” (Eliot 93). In creating Hamlet, Shakespeare achieved perplexity in the scheme that created for misinterpretation of an unexplained Hamlet.
The queen know understands that the king is attempting to murder her son hamlet. She says that he is fat. She offers him her napkin to whip the sweat from his face. She takes a sip from the glass. One knows this because the king becomes angered and says “Gertrude, do not drink”.
In Act 5 Claudius seems to be a good king but in reality, he is plotting something much darker for Hamlet. Before the fencing match between Laertes and Hamlet, Claudius talks about how he would put a “jewel” in Hamlet’s cup if he were to get the gets the first hit. "In the cup an union [the king] shall throw richer than that which four successive kings in Denmark's crown have worn."(V.ii. 243-245). He is giving Hamlet a gem, which is really a poison capsule, for dealing the first hit.
After the ghost comes to Hamlet and tells him that Claudius killed his father, Hamlet continues to go back and forth trying to decide whether he should try and get revenge on Claudius or not. The ghost said “the serpent that did sting thy father’s life now wears his crown.” Hamlet decided to procrastinate getting revenge on Claudius because he is thinking maybe the ghost was just deceiving him.
Gertrude drank the poisoned wine that was meant to Hamlet. After all this happens Hamlet decided to kill Claudius once and for all. Hamlet stabs Claudius with the poisoned sword and then forces him to drink the poisoned wine. Hamlet did not hesitated this time to kill Claudius, because of many reasons. First, he knew that after all his sins he will go directly to hell to pay for all his actions.
Finally, this provokes Hamlet enough to kill him with his own drink before he dies off. His deception has failed in these events because of his need to create tricks as a cover-up. To think if he had simply stuck to just the poisoned weapon he could have succeeded. Ultimately, the use of Claudius is to reveal how language can be used to manipulate and deceive others to not knowing the truth. He shows us that situations can be perceived another way based on the use of
