Hamlet, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern
(paraphrase):
l. 360-379: There is a clash between the satirical
parts being written for young actors and the traditional roles of the adult
actors. It is getting to the point where there needs to be a controversy
to sell a play.
Hamlet (to R & G):
l. 399-403: “But my uncle-father and my aunt-mother
are deceived. […]. I am but mad north-north-west. When
the wind is southernly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.”
Hamlet (soliloquy):

am I! / Is it not monstrous that this player here, / But in a fiction, […]
/ Could force […] / Tears in his eyes, […] / […] –and all for nothing!”
l. 611-616: “Why, what an ass am I!
This is most brave, / That I, the son of a dear father murdered, / Prompted
to my revenge by heaven and hell, / Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with
words / And fall a-cursing like a very drab, / A scullion!”
l. 623-627: “I’ll have these players / Play
something like the murder of my father / Before mine uncle. I’ll observe
his looks; / […] If he do blench, / I know my course.”
l. 627-632: “The spirit that I have seen /
May be a devil, and the devil hath power / T’assume a pleasing shape; yea,
and perhaps, / Out of my weakness and melancholy, / As he is very potent
with such spirits [emotional states], / Abuses [deceives] me to damn me.”
l. 633-634: “The play’s the thing / Wherein
I’ll catch the conscience of the King.”
Rosencrantz (to Claudius):

/ But from what cause he will by no means speak.”
Claudius (to R & G):
l. 28-29: “Good gentlemen, give him a further
edge / And drive his purpose into these delights.”
Queen Gertrude (to Ophelia):
l. 42-46: “[…] Ophelia, I do wish / That your
good beauties be the happy cause / Of Hamlet’s wildness. So shall I
hope your virtues / Will bring him to his wonted way again, / To both your
honors.”
King (aside):
l. 57-58: “How smart a lash that speech doth
give my / conscience.”
**Hamlet (soliloquy)
l. 64-96: “To be or not to be[…]”
Paraphrase:
To be, or not to be—that is what really
matters: 64
Is it nobler to accept passively
The trials and tribulations that unjust fate
sends,
Or to resist an ocean of troubles,
And, by our own effort, defeat them? To
die, to fall asleep—
Perhaps that’s all there is to it—and by that
sleep suppose we put an end to 69
The heartache and the thousand worries
That are part of being human—that’s an end
We could all look forward to. To die,
to sleep—
To sleep, maybe to dream. Yes, that’s the
catch,
For in that sleep of death what nightmares may
come
When we have freed ourselves from the turmoil
of this mortal life 75
Makes us hesitate. There’s the cause
That makes a disaster out of living to a ripe
old age.
After all, who wants to put up with the lashes
and insults of this world,
The tyrant’s injustice, the contempt of arrogant
men,
The pains of rejected love, the law’s frustrating
slowness, 80
Insults from superiors, and the snubs
That deserving and hopeful people have to take
from powerful inferiors,
When he could end the whole process by killing
himself
With a drawn dagger? Who would want to
carry the load,
To grunt and sweat under the burden of an exhausting
life, 85
Except that the fear of what may happen to us
after death,
That undiscovered country from whose territory
No explorer has ever returned, makes us confused
and hesitant
And forces us to go on with the troubles we
have
Rather than rush into new and unknown ones?
90
So, too much thinking turns us all into cowards,
And so the bright and healthy color of our intentions
Turns pale and weak as we brood about them,
And important and ambitious projects
Thus get sidetracked
95
And remain nothing but big plans.

mad in craft.”

not [lightly / regard my royal command], / which imports at full, / By letters

/ For like the hectic [continual fever] in my blood he rages, / And thou
must cure me.”

king. / Tell him that by his license Fortinbras / Craves the conveyance of
a promised march / Over his kingdom.”

/ Witness this army of such mass and charge […]”

All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Then up he rose and donned his clothes
And dupped [opened] the chamber door,
Let in the maid, that out a maid
Never departed more.
By [Jesus…], and by Saint Charity,
Alack and fie for shame,
Young men will do’t, if they come to’t;
By [God…] they are to blame.
Quoth she ‘Before you tumbled me,
You promised me to wed.’
He answers:
‘So would I’a done, by yonder sun,
An [If] thou hadst not come to my bed.’”

death / And am most sensible in grief for it, / It shall as level to your
judgement [ap]’pear / As the day does to your eye.”
Laertes (about Ophelia):
l. 211-212: “Thought [Melancholy] and afflictions,

as to why Claudius has not punished Hamlet for the death of Polonius):
l. 13-14: “The Queen his mother / Lives almost
by his looks […]”
l. 18-20: “The other motive / Why to a public
count I might not go / Is the great love the general gender [the common people]
bear him, / Who, […] / Convert his gyves [transform his shackles] to graces
[…].”
Claudius (reading a letter from Hamlet):
l. 49-53: “High and mighty, you shall know I

l. 116-119: “Sir, this report of his / Did Hamlet
so envenom with envy / That he could nothing do but wish and beg / Your sudden
coming-o’er, to play with you.”
Laertes (to Claudius):

a mounteback [doctor] / So mortal [deadly…] / […] I’ll touch my point / With
this contagion, that, if I gall [scratch] him slightly, / It may be death.”
Claudius (to Laertes):
l. 179-185: “When in your motion you are hot
and dry / (As make your bouts more violent to that end) / And he calls for
drink, I’ll have prepared him / A chalice for the nonce, whereon but sipping,
/ If he by chance escape your venomed stuck [thrust of your sword], / Our
purpose may hold there.”

coronet weeds / Clamb’ring to hang, an envious sliver broke, / When down
her weedy trophies and herself / Fell in the weeping brook.”

mermaid-like awhile they bore her up, / Which time she chanted snatches of
old lauds, / As one incapable of [understanding] her own distress”

that her garments, heavy with their drink, / Pulled the poor wretch from
her melodious lay / To muddy death.”

/ when she willingly seeks her own salvation?”

she should have been buried out o’ / Christian burial.”
Hamlet (to Horatio):
l. 77-79: “That skull had a tongue in it and
could sing / once. How the knave jowls [dashes] it to the ground as
if / ’twere Cain’s jawbone, that did the first murder!”
Hamlet (to Horatio):
l. 190-192: “Alas, poor / Yorick! I knew
him, Horatio—a fellow of infinite / jest, of most excellent fancy.”
Hamlet (to Horatio):
l. 224-228: “Here comes the King, / The Queen,
and courtiers. Who is this they follow? / And with such maimèd
[diminished] rites? This doth betoken / The corse they follow did with
desp’rate hand / Fordo its own life.”
Doctor (to mourners):
l. 234-237: “Her death was doubtful [suspicious],
/ And, but that great command o’ersways the order, / She should in ground
unsanctified been lodged / Till the last trumpet.”
Laertes (to Doctor):
l. 251-252: “A minist’ring angel shall my sister
be / When thou liest howling.”
Gertrude (to Ophelia):
l. 254-257: “Sweets to the sweet, farewell! /
I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet’s wife; / I thought thy bride-bed
to have decked, sweet maid, / And not have strewed thy grave.”
Hamlet (to all):
l. 285-287: “I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand
brothers / Could not with all their quantity of love / Make up my sum.
What wilt thou do for her?”
Hamlet (to all, but truly to Claudius):
l. 310-311: “Let Hercules himself do what he
may, / The cat will mew and dog will have his day.”
Hamlet (to Horatio):
l. 11-12: “There’s a divinity that shapes our
ends, / Rough-hew them how we will—”
Hamlet (to Horatio):
l. 35-36: “I sat me down, / Devised a new commission,
wrote it fair—”
l. 49-52: “That, on the view and knowing of
these contents, / Without debatement further, more or less, / He should those
bearers put to sudden death, / Not shriving time allowed.”
Osric (to Hamlet):
l. 178-180: “The King, sir, hath laid, sir,
that in a dozen / passes between yourself and him, he shall not / exceed
you three hits.”
Horatio (to Hamlet):
l. 223: “You will lose my lord.”
l. 231-232: “If your mind dislike anything, obey
it. I will / forestall their repair hither and say you are not fit.”
Hamlet (to Horatio):
l. 233-237: “There is a / special providence
in the fall of a sparrow. If it be / now, ‘tis not to come; if it be
not to come, it will be / now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The
/ readiness is all.”
Hamlet (to Laertes):
l. 240: “Give me your pardon, sir. I have
done you wrong;”
l. 257-258: “That I have shot my arrow o’er
the house / And hurt my brother.”
Laertes (to Hamlet):
l. 259-262: “I am satisfied in nature, / […]
/ […] but in my terms of honor / I stand aloof and will no reconcilement”
Hamlet (to Laertes):
l. 272-274: “I’ll be your foil, Laertes; in
mine ignorance / Your skill shall, like a star i’ th’ darkest night, / Stick

“Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage,
For he was likely, had he been put on,
To have proved most royal […].
Take up the bodies. Such a sight as this
Becomes the field but here shows much amiss.”
