Quote II

"Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,

A serpent stung me; So the whole ear of Denmark

Is by a forged process of my death

Rankly abus’d: but know, thou noble youth,

The serpent that did sting thy father’s life now wears his crown." (Act 1, Scene 5, Line 40-45)

It is believed that King Hamlet's death had been an accident, that he had been bitten by a snake and died from the venom. It is revealed in this scene that he had actually been murdered by his brother. Claudius poisoning his brother to make it look like an accident so he could get the crown.

Quote I

“That I can.

At least the whisper goes so: our last king,

Whose image

even but now appear’d to us,

Was as you know by Fortinbras of Norway,” (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 91-94)

When King Hamlet's ghost first appears Horatio is skeptical about it actually being a ghost. When he do believe that they are actually seeing a ghost, Horatio thinks the ghost is trying to warn them about Fortinbras. King Hamlet's true reason for showing himself is that he want Prince Hamlet to revenge his murder.

Quote III

"O villain, villain, smiling damned villain!

My tables. Meet it is I set it down

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain" (Act 1,Scene 5, Line 111-113)

This is a quote from Hamlet himself describing his uncle who pretends to be a honest man but in reality he is anything but. Claudius is putting on a facade saying that he has Denmark's best interests at heart but he only cares about his own gain and well being. He was willing to murder his brother for his wife and crown but is pretending that he only took those things out of the goodness of his heart.

FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES CONFRONTING HUMAN BEINGS

Throughout Shakepeare's play 'Hamlet', the conflict between appearance and reality moves the plot towards it's dreadful tragic end.

Quote IV

"Id thou dose marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy

dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as now, thou

shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery,

farewell" Of if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool; for

wise men know well enough what monsters you make

of them. To a nunnery, go-and quickly too. Farewell." (Act 3, Scene 1, Line 142-148)

At first Hamlet is feeling guilty for using Ophelia but he become angered when Ophelia reduced the love that they have once shared. He begins to insult her and tell that she must join a nunnery. It seems that Hamlet is annoyed with and just wants her to leave but Hamlet is trying to get Ophelia to leave so she won't be in the middle of what he going to do.

Quote V

"How does the Queen?

She swoons to see them bleed." (Act 5, Scene 2, Line 310-311)

When Hamlet asks why the queen has fallen Claudius say that she has fainted because the blood but she has really died because of the poisoned drink that was intend for Hamlet. In order to protect himself, Claudius lets Gertrude die. While he appears to be a good king and husband, Claudius has lied, manipulated and killed for his own success and gain.
