Act III Scence IV
When Hamlet is talking to his mom:
- He feels betrayed becase he once cared about her
- Hamlet wants to save her, he loves her (repentance)
- He wants to save her from herself
Edipus Complex:
- Young boys want to be daddy's so they can marry mommy
- Take over roll of Dad
- Be responsible for mom
When Hamlet stabs Polonius:
- He asks if it's Claudius (he wants it to be him)
- Pumped up/ready, emotionally on edge (from the scence before)
- More emotional = Less logical
What makes Polonius shout out:
- Gertrude says "help" she thinks Hamlet will kill her
- "Speak daggers but use none" Hamlet does not intent to kill her
- Niro, killed his mom becase he wanted to see where he came from( Hamlet mentions him earlyer)
- Sword = Intimidation
- glass = mirror (lots of mirror & refelection references)
- You can't force someone to repent
- Must come from Gertrude's own self reflection
- Woman. not capable of making her own (good) decitions
Why can't the Ghost be seen by Gertrude:
- Ghost doesn't want to be seen (Elizabethan people)
- It's not really there (us)
