Presentation transcript:

 Where do we see elements of corruption on a private and public level in Denmark?  Hamlet’s first soliloquy  Fie on’t, ah fie, ‘tis an unweeded garden That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. ( )

Where do we see elements of corruption in these two scenes? Ghost: “I am... Doom’d for a certain time to walk the night... Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature / Are burnt and purg’d away” ( )

 Marcellus: “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” (1.4.90)

 POISON used by Claudius  The murder is both a REGICIDE and a FRATRICIDE.

 The Ghost’s use of vivid, angry diction and repetition underscores the urgent need to “clean up” the mess in Denmark, to remove the corruption (a PUBLIC revenge?)  Ghost: “foul” used 3x, “unnatural” used 2x, “strange” used once (p. 30)

 Three roles: VICTIM, VILLAIN, AVENGER  Crime has already been committed prior to the start of the play  No recourse to a higher authority  Avenger must overcome obstacles  Avenger must seek an appropriate revenge  Concludes with a successful carrying out of mission  Most popular genre of Shakespeare’s time (and perhaps, today?)  Derives from Greeks/Romans (Aeschylus, Seneca)  The Spanish Tragedy, The Revenger’s Tragedy…

 Would Hamlet’s revenge be a PUBLIC or a PRIVATE one?  What motivates his father’s demand—or Hamlet’s desire— for revenge?

 What, in your opinion, is the exact cause of the “rotten-ness” in Denmark? Cite one or two words as textual support.
