Hamlet Mind Map (Characters (Hamlet ("O, that this is, too solid…

- - - - It is seen through this soliloquy that Hamlet is a melancholic, depressed and suicidal. Hamlet is contemplating life here, and why he still is living. He is crazy here, not on purpose. This foreshadows the antic disposition that will happen later. Hamlets actor says this line using different tones of voice, slowing at times, and speeding up. This allows the viewers to understand he really is crazy, and that he either will seek revenge or kill himself.
  - - - In this quote, it really shows how much Claudius really hates Hamlet. He explains to Gertrude that he will get rid of Hamlet for the murder he committed. He used his body language and facial expressions to look disgusted whenever he must say Hamlets name.
  - - - This quote is the ghost giving Hamlet reasons to hate clouds and reasons to seek revenge which leads to his antic disposition. The ghost tells Hamlet everything Claudius stole, his life, crown and wife. This also foreshadows the story that the players will tell. His character's main place in the play is to tell Hamlet how to get revenge. He does this by allowing the viewers to understand his words by changing his tone of voice, and making him pronounce words with more oomph.
  - - - This quote of Ophelia's allowed the readers to understand her innocence in a new light. She was seen as a nice, normal character until this point when she had officially gone crazy. She gives flowers, still showing her innocence. She gives flowers symbolizing adultery, repentance, unrequited love, and faith. The way the actors recreated this scene was in such a way that Ophelia was relaxed, still allowing the viewers too see that she was a very dainty character.
  - - - In this line, we see that Polonius is telling Claudius that Hamlet is really crazy, and they need to do something about it. In the movie, this seen is used with extra hand motions and facial expressions that allow Claudius to agree with Polonius. This also foreshadows Polonius' death because he knows they should find why he is crazy, but spying was obviously not the answer.
- - - - This quote is spoken by Horatio, the smartest guard.He realizes that something bad will happen in the state of Denmark soon. The outdoor setting that this quote is spoken in allows the ability for the characters to look over Denmark as they realize the foreshadowing that something bad will happen. This setting and quote together allow the mood to be created for the rest of the story, and was a very wise choice by the director.
  - - - Hamlet begins to tell the players the lines they should add to their play, allowing him to see the real side of the king. The setting here is expected be on a stage, but in this version it is in the centre of the castle, allowing for the viewers to understand the true lives of the characters.
  - - - This dark scene sets the tone and mood for this quote. This quote also allows the tone to be set. Hamlet knows that the gravediggers are speaking about him, and he asks how long corpses usually last, and other things about himself. The gravediggers responses allows hamlet to wonder why they think this about him. It also allows the tone to become more worried and anxious. For the rest of the play the readers are wondering what will happen to Hamlet, and if he will die. This quote foreshadows the future.
  - - - This quote is spoken by Hamlet about how he used to love Ophelia (yet the readers know he still loves her), and how a beautiful girl can also become a virgin and a good girl can become a whore. In this scene Hamlet is fainting madness, yet the setting, where it takes place, allows the viewers to see that it is light and in the castle where they both live. This allows the viewers to feel comfortable with the situation even though Hamlet is mad.
- - - - This quote is by Fortinbras, explaining how there are so many corpses and dead princes. He explains how almost everybody in Denmark is dead. The director has done an amazing job explaining how all the characters are dead, which allows the deaths of all characters. This also helps the viewers see this theme as many characters die. The readers are led feeling empty, much like a real death of a loved one.
  - - - Love is a major theme within this play. Allowing the viewers to feel in love as well increases the theme that much more. Mel Gibson used acting skills and settings to create the perfect love scenes, allowing the viewers to see how in love all the characters were, but also to see that betrayal can wreck love.
  - - - This quote is Hamlet speaking the betrayal he felt for his mother. The director creates the scenes, where the themes are prevailed by quotes in such a way that allows the readers to feel betrayed as well. Allowing the readers to feel betrayed, enhances the story line, and also helps the themes be seen in a better way. It is also seen that revenge leads to death of loved ones and death of oneself.
