-this quote is the theme of the play. Men and women can do miraculous things and horrid things.
"The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king."
Notes on final solliquoqy (hamlets)
-before reality sucks. It has been a couple days and he hasn't killed caludius yet. He feels terrible about himself. "Is it not monstrous that this player here."
-he can make his body and heart do what he wants to do, but hamlet can't
-Hamlet beats himself up for being a coward and being private about his knowledge.
-The only person who knows what hamlet is supposed to do is a ghost.
-nobody seems to be pushing him
-even if hamlet could speak.. Talk is cheap, actions are not.
-"I'll have these players play something like the murder of my father before mine uncle." This is known as a play within a play.
