Hamlet Soliloquy
“Tis now the very witching time of night,” (3.2.419-432)
Paraphrase
This is the time of night of evil things, when churchyards yawn, hell comes come, contagious to this world. If i could drink the blood of hell, I would do untasteful things on this untasteful day thank would make people shake just to look at my actions. Now, I must visit my mother. Oh heart, do not lose your courage. Do not let the soul of Nero enter my body, let me be cruel, not strange. I will speak aggressively towards her but I will not use force. My tongue and soul will not agree with each other. While she make rebuke my words, I will not let myself take that action.

And I will get revenge. -- That would be a fraud. Since a villain killed my father, I, his only son, will do the same and send the villain to heaven. Oh, this is not revenge, it is merely an assassination. He took my father’s life before he could pray causing all his sins to bloom like the flowers of May. In addition, how he will be able to go to heaven? In our current circumstances, should I avenge my father while he is cleansing his soul, when he is nice and ready for his passage? No. I put away my sword. I will wait for a more convenient time. For example, when his is asleep, drunk, or in his rage, or even when his is committing incestuous pleasure on his bed, swearing at a game, just some action that has no relation to salvation. Then I will trip him and therefore kick him out of heaven. Then his soul will cursed and black. It can go to hell for all I know. My mother is waiting for me; this just prolongs his sick …show more content…
Imagery: Simile: While contemplating the murder of the king, Hamlet realizes the process in which his father dies. He did not die while he was praying buther when his sins were blooming like flowers in May, a prime time for growth. In order to keep the fairness, Hamlet justifies his retreat to himself by claiming Claudius also needs to have blooming sins as well.
Lastly, throughout the play, Hamlet has kept himself alive solely due to his fear of damnation. The theme of death and its consequence plays a role as Hamlet yields from accomplishing his vengeance due to his fear of the consequences being against him. This scene plays an overall role in the play because it is one of Hamlet’s many missed chances to chance the course of the play. Because he did not take this opportunity, the play ended up in a tragedy.
Details: As Hamlet is justifying his actions, he begins listening the acceptable circumstances in which he can kill Claudius. It just so happens, Hamlet did kill the king during an event with no connection to salvation.
Language: The language use by Hamlet in this scene is cultured and poetic due to the period and his educational
