Soliloquies





Tragedy is a form of art based on human suffering that offers its audience pleasure. HAMLET is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare and it is most powerful and influential tragedies in the English language.

On 3rd March, my course mates and I have watched HAMLET. From the movie, i tried to identified the famous soliloquies by all the actors. The first one "to be or not to be" really captured my attention. Mel Gibson, as the main actor in Hamlet, plays the role of young Hamlet (prince of Denmark). he also explain that he does not like his mother to marry the next king of Denmark so quickly after his father's death.

Other than this character, King Claudius also takes part in the soliloquy. he reveals his own knowledge of the crime he committed and realizes he cannot escape divine justice.
