  • Essay / What is Hamlet's first diagram - 1057

    « 'The sore spot too! So, venom, to your work” “Drink this potion”” (Shakespeare, p. 281, lines 352-357). In the first shot, Prince Hamlet was trying to kill King Claudius because the king had murdered Hamlet's deceased father and the result was successful, because Prince Hamlet actually proceeded to murder King Claudius; cutting him on the neck with the poisoned sword and forcing him to drink the poisoned cup. “'My lord, I will strike him now' 'Attack now!' “Laertes wounds Hamlet” (Shakespeare, p. 279, lines 322-331). Additionally, in the second shot, King Claudius was plotting to execute Prince Hamlet, because Hamlet had discovered that Claudius had killed his father and was planning to avenge the late King Hamlet; the result was that Hamlet slowly died from a poisoned cut soon leading to his last breath. Finally, these two patterns have the same similarities, because they share the same motivation and the same outcome, which is death for the motivation and death for the other.
