Hamlet: In Class Exercises

Now for ourself, and for this time of meeting, Thus much the business is. We have here writ To Norway, uncle of young Fortinbras Who, impotent and bed-rid, scarcely hears Of this his nephew’s purpose—to suppress His further gait herein, in that the levies, The lists, and full proportions are all made Out of his subject; and we here dispatch You, good Cornelius, and you, Voltemand, For bearers of this greeting to old Norway, Giving to you no further personal power To business with the King more than the scope Of these dilated articles allow. Farewell, and let your haste commend your duty.

Act IV - Textuality

There lives within the very flame of love A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it; And nothing is at a like goodness still, For goodness, growing to a pleurisy, Dies in his own too much. (New Oxford Shakespeare, 113-22 There lives.. .th'ulcer -] Q2; not in F 4.4.109-113)

113 wick or snuff The wick is the fibre in a lamp or candle which is ignited to provide light; the snuff is the part of the wick which is slowly consumed and needs to be trimmed occasionally. The King seems to be saying that love is lessened by the very thing that feeds it (in contrast to Hamlet’s observation of his mother: ‘As if increase of appetite had grown / By what if fed on’ , 1.2.114-5). 114 at … goodness at the same level of goodness 115 pleurisy excess; literally an inflammation of the chest, sometimes spelt ‘plurisy’ and mistakenly derived from Latin plus, pluris(more) – hence seen as a result of an excess of humours.

Laertes O, treble woe Fall ten-times treble on that cursèd head Whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense Deprived thee of! Hold off the earth a while, Till I have caught her once more in mine arms. [He leaps into the grave] Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead Till of this flat a mountain you have made T’o’ertop old Pelion or the skyish head Of blue Olympus. Hamlet [coming forward] What is he whose grief Bears such an emphasis, whose phrase of sorrow Conjures the wand’ring stars and makes them stand Like wonder-wounded hearers? This is I, Hamlet the Dane. [He leaps into the grave] Laertes The devil take thy soul! Hamlet Thou pray’st not well. [Laertes attacks Hamlet] I prithee take thy fingers from my throat; For, though I am not splenative and rash, Yet have I in me something dangerous Which let thy wisdom fear. Hold off thy hand.

Act V (Interpretation and Theatricality)

오필리아의 장례 장면으로 동생의 죽음에 슬퍼하면서 마지막으로 동생의 무덤에 뛰어드는 레어티즈와 그 모습을 햄릿이 멀리서 지켜보는 장면에서 시작한다 . 텍스트를 읽으면서 그렸던 장면과의 일치했는데 다만 레어티즈와 햄릿의 대사 라인이 몇줄 생략이 되었고 (215, 217-219)

텍스트에서는 햄릿이 뛰어나와서 무덤에 뛰어 들어가고 무덤 안에 있던 레어티스가 햄릿을 공격한다라고 되어있는데 , 올리비아의 햄릿에서는 레어티즈가 무덤에서 기어나와 햄릿을 공격한다 . 레어티즈가 적극적으로 움직여 햄릿을 공격하는 장면을 넣음으로써 동생의 죽음에 분노하는 레어티즈를 더 잘 그려내지 않았나 생각한다 .

올리비아의 햄릿에서 막의 순서가 살짝 바껴서 나온다 . 오필리아의 장례식 막 장 에 바로 (5 1 ) 이어나오는 4 막 4 장의 내용이다 막에서 . 4 아버지와 여동생 죽음애 대한 레어티스의 복수심을 이용해 왕이 레어티스를 자신의 음모에 끌어들이고 레어티스가 수락을 한다 . 내용이 점점 클라이맥스로 가고 있는 상황에서 왕 - 레어티스 햄릿 간의 긴장감을 형성 -

, 유지하기 위해서 중간에 자칫 루즈해질 수 있는 오필리아의 장례식을 앞으로 임의로 빼낸 것이 아닐까 생각했다 .
