Hamlet: Act I Scene V

October 6, 2015 / / 0 Comments

In the start of this scene Hamlet is leading off from the cliffhanger of scene IV in which the specter/ghost declares its identity as his father.

Hamlet feels quite emotional at the sight of his late father. He is somehow reassured that it is not just any Ghost but his fathers as it explains the circumstances of his death. Soon after he is then quick to believe the Ghost as it had happened the way Hamlet ha most feared. It had come to be that his Uncle, Claudius poured poison into his Fathers ear whilst he had been sleeping. At this point Hamlet is enraged and confides with his father in finding a way to pursue his revenge.

Hamlet Act I Scene IV

Hamlet,Horatio and Marcellus surround eachover on what seems to be a cold whispy night. Hamlet picks up on his uncle being drunk and firing cannon balls into what seems to be any desired destination.

He picks up on the point of how some individuals cannot handle rather-large quantities of alcohol than others can. Horatio instead catches sight of the phantasm like entity in their midst. At first Hamlet seems frightened and speaks about super-natural beings and places, such as Goblin and the Heavens. The Ghost beckons and Horatio informs Hamlet that it wants him to follow it. Hamlet hesitates at first but wearily creeps closer to the shape. Hamlet questions the Ghost and it responds “y hour is almost come When I to sulph’rous and tormenting flames Must render up myself.

Hamlet gives pity on it but it quickly declines it saying “Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing To what I shall unfold. Now Hamlet is intrigued in to what he has to say “Speak, I am bound to hear”. The Ghost replies with`”So art thou to revenge when thou shalt hear”. He declares his identity as Hamlets father and the causes of his death.

Leading off from Hamlets outrage at his serpent-like uncle, Scene 3 starts off with Laertes talking with his sister, Ophelia about her affection with Hamlet. Laertes seems to not trust his motives and warns his sister about possible outcomes. Ophelia hears the sense in his argument but seems to be in love with Hamlet and believes that he really does have true feelings for her. Polonius, Ophelia and Laertes’ father enters and backs up his son’s point.  Mentioning that she does not lose her virginity with him or have any sexual contact as neither of them trust Hamlet as they believe he only wants to get rid of his sexual desires, being an adolescent teen. Realizing Ophelia does not care as much as the first time , being the same thing repeated multiple times, even Polonius apologizes for his use of repetition.

At the start of scene 2, set after the coronation of the new King, Claudius gives a speech on how his new found power will be used and commenting on the recent miss happenings and dramas throughout Denmark. Cornelius and Voltemand outspokenly agree with all that he says in a way in which seems to be they’re way of getting into his good books. The king calls out on Laertes and he responds with his confusion of the king setting sail for France rather than spending time in Denmark where he seems to be most needed.  Later on in the conversation Hamlet is outraged at how his mother could marry his late, fathers passing. His friends Horatio Marcellus enter and begin friendly conversation between eachover.

Out of The Blue: Analysis

September 2, 2015 / / 1 Comment

The poem “Out Of The Blue” by Simon Armitage on the events of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. The vibes that I have gotten from the poem have been particularly sinister as I had already known about the terrorist attack in 2000 and the poem used adjectives in a way that gave me a  visual perspective of how the victims would have felt at that situation. Specifically the sentence “The heat behind me is searing, searing”. As this gives me, the reader the impression that the fire and heat from the explosion of the plane had been perhaps a driving force behind the decision of jumping off the skyscraper to their death.

The author also utilizes another technique of using many onomatopoeia in which repeat throughout the poem as Simon uses this method to enthusize the point of the danger being overbearing and bewildering towards the victims of the 9/11 bombings.

An example of personification in the poem would be “The heat behind me is bullying, driving” This is a prime example because it is describing the heat as a

The World Trade Center Complex at 110 stories each and 10-million-square feet of office space for about 35,000 people and 430 companies. The author re-imagined what it would have been like for the husbands and wives stuck up there, as a few seconds before the first plane had hit it was almost as like the day would have ended like any over.

Simon Armitage was born on the 26th of May, 1963 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. He is a ronound British Poet and translator.

In ‘To kill a Mockingbird’ Pride is shown by Francis stirring up Scout by calling her father a “Nigger Lover” and to defend her family she retaliates by Splitting her knuckle on his front teeth. This was done because Scout felt enraged that he was disrespecting her Father in which she loves and cares for and therefore this is an example of Scout protecting her family’s pride.
