Karten in diesem Stapel (2)
- 1Line 126 (Laertes' anger)Laertes - "To cut his throat i'th' church"
*This demonstrates to the audience (especially the Shakespearean audience) the anger that he felt, as it blinded his caring for religion and going to heaven.
*This is due to the fact that the killing of someone in a church would have been believed to mean gigue straight to hell.
*This shows the difference between Hamlet and Laertes as Laertes will go to any extreme and measure to avenge his father, and doesn't think about heaven and hell and the consequences of his actions.
*Appearance vs reality as Hamlet is not pursuing his revenge as openly and quickly as Laertes, however, the audience already has a feeling that the relationship between Old Hamlet and Hamlet was a lot stronger than that of Laertes and Polonius. - 2Line 169 (Gertrude's love for Ophelia)Gertrude - "Of cornflowers, nettles, daises, and long purples"
*Gertrude uses natural imagery when describing Ophelia's death to portray her as pure and innocent (maybe due to feeling guilt or genuine love for Ophelia - wanting people to remember her well).
