Hamlet S Character
Hamlet
“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.”
This quote was found in act IV, scene iii, lines 27-28. It was said by Hamlet to Claudius.
This develops the character of Hamlet very well because he is expressing a feeling without stating it bluntly. Hamlet is expressing his strong hatred towards Claudius when he says that beggars and kings are at the same level when they die. Claudius, being a snob, was affected him with this line. This quote from the play is very deep and meaningful so that shows how much Hamlet really put thought into his words. He really was not mad and crazy, he was wording thing differently. Instead of stating things bluntly, he would say things in a manor only one who really thought about it would understand. It could also show how he is not very sensitive because talking about being eaten by worms when one dies, following the death of Polonius shows that he does not care. This quote helps us understand Hamlet’s character more.
This quote is developing the theme of death since it talks about what happens after one dies and gets buried in the ground. Hamlet is stating that death is an equalizer and social class doesn’t matter, it is merely a societal importance. There are any different aspects of death that “Hamlet” covers but this one is focusing mainly on how Hamlet perceives people after they die. Hamlet sees people as having the same role in society after death. Death is inevitable and everyone eventually becomes equal. Having death as the final equalizer is saying that living is diving people because society taught to divide according to social class.
In this quote, Hamlet is saying that after death, social status does not matter any more because the same worm that may feed off of a king is likely to feed off a beggar.
This quote could have caused some controversy or judgment from his viewers because many believed that there was a clear divide between rich
