Hamlet Act I-III

Hamlet has to be one of my favorite Shakespeare play next to Macbeth. In the first three acts of the play a lot of things are happening. You find out the Hamlet comes home after his father died to his mother married to his uncle. Also Hamlet’s father’s ghost visits hamlet and tells him that he was murdered by his brother (Hamlet’s uncle) and Hamlet’s father wants Hamlet to kill his uncle Claudius. There are many Iconic speeches in the first act of the play. One being the most famous speeches in Shakespeare’s plays. Hamlet’s to be or not to be speech is a very important speech where hamlet is having a soliloquy and is deciding whether of not he should live and take on the responsibilities that come with that like killing his uncle or kill himself and leave all the pain behind. Another speech that is important is the Kings (Claudius) speech where he confesses that he kills his brother. This is after the part in the play where Hamlet’s puts on a play that is very much the same as what happened. Hamlet at this part of the play has a chance to kill Claudius but does not. He did not want to kill him because his unlce was in a chruch praying when he confessed. That is a stupid mistake that will cost him everything at the end of the play.
