Act 3 scene 4

so this entire scene takes place in Gertrude's room??

Not to mention that Polonius's death was not right at all.... i mean think about it, would your first reaction to a rat be stabbing it? that was uncalled for but in the mood tha hamlet is in i can see the over reaction...

What is the significance of the ghost re-appearing?
Does he only come back to say that Hamlet is wasting time?

Hamlet Act III scene 2

OK so what i got out of this was that Hamlet is just finishing telling what he wants the players to do, but in the process everyone comes back i the room. they then go to their seats and hamlet speaks to horatio. I think that Horatio doubts Hamlet's idea or knowledge of the death of his father. So, when the idea in the play is dropped about the poison in the ear, and after Cladius "needs air" Horatio says that is a co-incidence.

What I'm asking is:

Does Horatio believe Hamlet?
or,
Does he think this all is a big mis-understanding and should probably not go along with the murder?

possible thought

ok i was reading act 3 sc 1 today and it hit me... is it possible that Hamlet doesn't act crazy in front of someone and they let the word back to claudius? wouldn't that kill any hope in the success of his plan?

Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet the Worst? Agree or Disagree.

According to Mr. Lazarow, Kenneth Branagh's version of Hamlet was and still is the worst he has ever seen. He constantly rips on Branagh because his version is so bad. So Hamlet's actions may be a little excessive and his wild arm movements a little odd, but does this version really deserve the verbal bashing that it receives? Agree or disagree......

Which Actor Played The Best Hamlet? Why?

In my opinion I thought Mel Gibson was the best Hamlet out of the versions we saw in class. He spoke his lines clearly and smoothly. Gibson used the right emotions like yelling when he needed to during his lines. He walked around the set when he wanted to act like he was pondering, and was still when he was deep in thought. Gibson didn't say his lines as if he had memorized them and spoke them as if it were natural. His actions and movement around the stage went write with the lines he was speaking.

Gibson's apperance as Hamlet only reinforces the reason why I think he played the best Hamlet. His clothing looked traditional and it matched his personality. This only helped Gibson play the role of Hamlet better.

Gibson played the best Hamlet out of the six versions by speaking his lines naturally and by acting the right way. His looks helped him appear more like Hamlet and I don't think any actor came close to being a better Hamlet.
