Hamlet Soliloquy
|
|
|
In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet’s soliloquy in Act II scene ii demonstrates how although he wants to take action against Claudius, he nonetheless remains inactive. This is analytical through the order of the soliloquy, the contrasting verbs, and the multiple questions Hamlet poses.
The order of the soliloquy shows action leading to inaction. In the first part of the soliloquy (II, ii, 576-593), Hamlet is berating and cursing himself, bitterly commenting that the player who gave the speech was able to summon a depth of feeling and expression for long dead figures who mean nothing to him, while Hamlet is unable to take action even with his far more powerful motives. In the second part of his soliloquy (II, ii, 593-617), Hamlet questions his own ability and courage.
