Hamlet assignment
Hamlet assignment
In this assignment I will make an analysis and an interpretation of “Hamlet, act III, scene 1.” “Hamlet” is a play written by William Shakespeare. The play is also known as, “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”. “Hamlet” was first published in 1603. The play is set on a castle in Denmark, called Elsinore. Hamlet is about the young man Hamlet, who shall take revenge over his uncle Claudius, because he killed the old king, Hamlets father, and married the queen, Gertrude. In Act III, scene 1 we hear about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who are talking with the king, and the queen, about Hamlets strange behavior, we hear about the king and Polonius, who are spying on Hamlet and Ophelia, because Polonius believes Hamlets madness is caused by his love for Ophelia, and we see the meeting between Hamlet and Ophelia.
William Shakespeare was born April 23, 1564 and died April 23, 1616. As a writer he wrote some of the most famous tragedies, historical plays and comedies. Shakespeare also wrote poems, especially sonnets. Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets and 34 plays. Knowledge of his life is quite limited, partly because he was not famous in his own time. He was born and he did also die in Stratford-upon-Avon as a son of a self-owner farmer and businessman. Shakespeare married in 1582 at age 18, with the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway, whom he had three children with: Susanna and twins named Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died when he was 11, and both girls grew up. From 1592 Shakespeare worked in London, first as an actor, then as a writer and co-director at the Globe Theatre. He made a considerable social position, was landowner and retired to his home town in 1613.
In Act III, scene 1, Hamlet says two things to Ophelia. He says to her that he once loved her, but he also claims that he never had loved her, (act III, scene 1, l.115: I did love, and l. 117-119: you should.) Hamlet seems mad when he talks with Ophelia, and he does not seem like
