Hamlet
Texto del Guión Gráfico
- Wait, I understand how Hamlet the play critiques court culture now but what about the play questioning the Senecan revenge tragedy?
- Remember, with the Senecan revenge tragedy, the characters are dramas of plot, meaning they take action towards their revenge ploy. Blood and gore are also presented, but Hamlet as a character is reluctant to take his revenge. He is defined as an intellectual. I mentioned previously how Fortinbras is a foil to Hamlet; they take on their revenge differently. Fortinbras functions as the typical role for a Senecan revenge tragedy.
- Hey, are you talking about me?!
- Hamlet as a character is more focused on theatre, utilizing theatricality as a way to hurt Claudius rather than stabbing him right away. We see this in Act III, Scene ii where Claudius is pained with guilt, leaving in the midst of the play. Hamlet wants to receive a reaction out of him.
- However, with the notion of blood and gore, we do see how this takes a turn for the worst for Hamlet. His haste results in him stabbing Polonius to death, under the misapprehension that Claudius was eavesdropping on his conversation with his mother: What ho! Help! / How now, a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead (Shakespeare 3.4.28-29).
- Here, we see how the turning point is Hamlet's readiness to spill blood for his vengeance, however, this fosters the question of rather Hamlet's actions in this scene do critique or perpetuate the negatives behind hate revenge or the action in taking revenge. As portrayed in the Senecan revenge tragedy.
