Hamlet: Third Soliloquy Emulation
Emulation of Hamlet’s Third Soliloquy
To fetch or not to fetch - that is the question:
Whether my response is to follow my instinct
And run after that rubber ball,
Or to completely ignore it,
And, have control over my canine instinct.
To stay, to relax as the ball bounces before me -
No more - and by fetching I face
The fatigue - that repeated action
That occurs at the beginning of each, “go fetch!”
‘Tis a situation
I do not wish to face.
To Fetch, to stay -
To fetch, perhaps too repeatedly. Ay, there’s the problem,
For in fetching I will get carried away
And while my master’s arm weakens
I will become more energized.
That’s the idea
That makes any honorable canine hesitate.
For who would want to harm their master,
Annoy their master,
Become obnoxious to your master,
Be filled with the disappointment when he can no longer throw that rubber ball, the whimpering that follows
And the teasing
Of my master’s arm
As he pretends to throw the ball
And my excitement increases?
Who would ever need instinct,
To relax,
To not burden your master,
To be loyal
Always
For all the days of my life,
Having no regrets,
Instead of being enslaved by your own instinct?
But the thought of play is too enticing to be dismissed,
And thus the adrenaline
Is tainted by concern over the relationship with my master,
And joyous moments of play
With this in mind
I’d sacrifice the play but my instinct is too strong
When my master says, “Go

    Hamlet has just fought with Gertrude and Claudius, and has decided to stay home, as opposed to going to college. Claudius told Hamlet he was not allowed to go, and Hamlet decided to stay for his mother. The, “O, that this too too solid flesh would melt…” soliloquy reveals the first thoughts of death that Hamlet has within the play. Not much has happened, but the King and Queen are married, and the ghost has been seen. As the first soliloquy, this is the first insight into Hamlet’s state of mind that the audience has.…

    4.) During act III, scene IV, line 30, Hamlet, in order to see Gertrude’s reaction, indirectly accuses her of being a part of Claudius’ atrocity by saying that what he has done (killed Polonius) is as bad as killing a king and marrying his brother. Once Gertrude hears this, confused, she repeats “as kill a king?” and asks him what she has done to cause him to be so rude to her, assuring that, like his father’s ghost had said, she was only weak and she had nothing to do with his assassination.…

    For the most part, this Hamlet's soliloquy is the crisis of the play. It is when Hamlet fail to kill Claudius at prayer although he has the inner certitude that he is the murderer of his father. And this is obviously due to his consciousness. This soliloquy emphasizes in one way or another the universal human thought: to act or not to act in front of a situation requiring immediate action, always ask inner questions, make difficult choices and sometimes be tugged by his or her choice. Shakespeare uses, thereby, Hamlet to reflect on situations in the current life on which people are unable to have control, or difficult events to overcome, just because consciousness pushes them to understand that every action has its consequences and leads them…

    “Play is a process that is freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated. Children and young people determine and control the content and intent of their play by following their instincts, ideas and interests in their own way and for their own reasons. The child chooses when and how to play and this is seen as a biological drive, essential to health and well-being.”…

    In spite of the fact that the plot evokes the implication that it occurred between the close of 16th century and the start of the 17th century, Shakespeare’s Hamlet surpasses the constraints of time and muses upon both the primitive and contemporary man. In the late 16th century in England, people of all classes on the social echelon, with the exception of royals, were able to publicly eyewitness theatre. Audiences craved new plays to assuage their appetites. One of numerous dramatists that capitalized this abundance of opportunity was Shakespeare. Opposed to the modern time, audiences spectated the play to hear it rather than see it. The articulation of the lines and significance of how the story was recited was crucial…

    Kenneth Branagh and Franco Zeffirelli have directed two very different versions of the same tragic play Hamlet based on very diverse perspectives. After indulging in both of films, it is clear that both films contrast each other through the use of different elements but in this case Kenneth Branagh’s version of the play best captures the essence of the play. One of the elements that we can see is the use of different language elements. In both films the Shakespearean language is used however, in Zeffirelli's version of Hamlet, we can see that lots of lines are cut and/or changed. This is evident through important parts of character soliloquies or character interaction.…
