BLOG #14: HAMLET ACT 2: REVENGE & ESPIONAGE

Hamlet is tirelessly trying to find weather or not his uncle is the person who killed his father. Hamlet is similar to The Princess Bride because he is also tirelessly looking for the man who “keeled my father”. The play Hamlet is based on corruption from murder, deception, and spying. This is displayed at the beginning of act two when Polonious told Reynaldo to spy on his son “Before you visit him, to make inquire of his behavior.” (2.2.23). Hamlet himself is deceiving everyone “Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other and with a look so piteous in purport as if he had been loosed out of hell.”(2.1.98). You know corruption is a foot when you deceive your own family “Fortinbraus you cannot march on Denmark they are or allies for too long.” ”I won’t uncle but in need money to march on Poland.” (2.1.52). when friends can’t trust friends that when you know something is rotten “I will need you both to keep a watchful eye on dear Hamlet.”. “Ay my lord your wishes will be done.” (2.1.363). Hamlet is using everything in his aresanal to get to the truth “Do you know the painted tyrant I need you to perform it tonight.” (2.1.429). the connection of the two works of art are revenge of the murder of a beloved father.
