Hamlet+3.1+&+3.2

4. "Let me be cruel, but not unnatural./ I will speak daggers to her, but use none./ My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites:/ How in my words somever she be shent,/ To give them seals never, my soul, consent." (3.4.428-432). He uses a play on words, I believe. He has to talk to his mom about what just happened and he says that he isnt going to be violent towards her but instead he will speak daggers instead of using them. I think that is clever the way he says it because he wants to be mean to his mother but not completely rude.

5. I was really surprised to see that Claudis reacted that way at dinner. I thought he would say something afterwards, not get up and stop the play while it was happening, but since he did do this, this allows Hamlet to believe the ghost and what he said about his father. Also Claudis is alittle prick that likes to sneak behind peoples back and listen in to their conversations. Claudis just likes getting himself in trouble.

6. The relationship between Ophelia and Hamlet is weird. He's rude to her at first and tells her to go in a nunnery but then he flirts with her while their watching the play. Instead of going over with his mom to sit he sits next to Ophelia and flirts with her. So, i cant really tell if he likes her or not or if hes toying with her feelings.
