2. Death
Basically, the play, Hamlet, is full of death. Even the main character Hamlet is obsessed
with the idea of death. For example, he repeatedly contemplates suicide as a morally
legitimate action in an unbearably painful world. Moreover, each of the main characters’
deaths has a significant impact on the play. In a way, the plot of the play is built on these
deaths, including King Hamlet’s, which began the action, and that of Polonius, which
brings on the climax of the story. The death of King Hamlet is responsible for Hamlet’s
dramatic change in character. Basically, death is both the cause and the consequence of
revenge, which leads the story. Claudius’s murder of King Hamlet initiates Hamlet’s
quest for revenge, and Claudius’s death is the end of that quest.
3. Quotes from Hamlet
• “To be or not to be, that is the question,” (III.i.56)
• “They are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time: after your death you were
better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.” (II.II.487-489)
• “Oh that this too too solid flesh would melt,/Thaw and resolve itself into a
dew;/Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d/His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter!”
(I, ii, 129-132)
• “The rest is silence.” (V, ii, 350)
• “To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;/For in that sleep of death
what dreams may come/When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,” (III, i, 65-67)
• “For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak/With most miraculous
organ.” (II, ii, 591)
4. Other Quotes
“Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off,
And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.
Do not for ever with thy veiled lids
Seek for thy noble father in the dust:
Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity.”
-By QUEEN GERTRUDE -
5. Other Quotes
“Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death
The memory be green, and that it us befitted
To bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom
To be contracted in one brow of woe,
Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
That we with wisest sorrow think on him,
Together with remembrance of ourselves.”
-By King Claudius -
6. Other Quotes
• “To give these mourning duties to your father:/But
you must know, your father lost a father;/That
father lost, lost his;” (I, ii, 89-90)
• By letters congruing to that effect,/The present
death of Hamlet.” (IV, iii, 63-64)
- By King Claudius -
7. Other Quotes
• “Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.” (I, v,
25)
- By Ghost -
8. Scholarly Quotes
• “Hamlet from Scene I would have certainly objected to what
Hamlet from Scene V has done. This shows the breakdown of
rationality and a man who has come to terms with life, the
universe and his own mortality.” (Contemplation of Death in
Hamlet by Ebey Soman)
• “Death is the predominant theme in William
Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Because of this exposure to
death, Hamlet gains an adolescent fascination of it by the
end of the play. Hamlet’s depression and madness
enables him to cope with death, to become violent and to
even kill.” (Hamlet’s metamorphic View of Death by
mfields)
