Hamlet
Storyboard Text
- In this scene, Hamlet is speaking aloud about whether to live or not to live and Claudius(right side) and Polonius(left side) are listening to this which the audience knows but Hamlet doesn't and thinks he's alone.
- To be or not to be— that is the question...
- Hamlet goes on about how he prefers death (mostly suicide) and how might that happen too while King Claudius and Polonius are still listening.
- To die, to sleep—No more—and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is hier to—...
- Hamlet imagines the situation after death where everything's a "sleep of death" and how his is life's full of calamities. Claudius and Polonius are still hidden.
- Ay, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled of this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life.
- As Hamlet thinks to himself of how life will still be if he's still alive, he takes out his bodkin and the two get spooked if he really were to commit this suicide.
- The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th' unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin?...
- As Hamlet thinks to himself of how life will still be if he's still alive, he takes out his bodkin and the two get spooked if he really were to commit this suicide.
- But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? ...
- In the end, Hamlet is disappointed with the misery that's in his life but with that, he just wasn't strong with himself taking his own life and loses his "name of action".
- Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.
- Footsteps approaching of Ophelia and Hamlet walks further...
- Soft you now, The fair Ophelia.— Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered.
- I humbly thank you, well.
- I humbly thank you, well.
