"Revenge is a confession of pain.”
Hamlet Finds Out About His Father's Death:"Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder. /
Now, Hamlet, Hear: 'Tis given out, that sleeping in my orchard A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark Is by a forged process of my death Rankly abus'd: but know, thou noble youth, The serpent that did sting thy father’s life Now wears his crown." (Act I, Scene 5, 25 & 34-39) |
Hamlet Compares Gods and Humans:" . . . the
earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'er-- hanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors. What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving how ex-- press and admirable! in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me," (Act II, Scene 2, 300-312) |
