was claudius because he had to leave the play and go to his room by
himself. hamlet thought this was his chance to kill claudius, so he
sneaked up behind him and found him in prayer, so hamlet couldn't kill

Act 3 is about the play that Hamlet wrote. Hamlet tells the actors to
watch Cladius' reaction to the play. After the play, the Queen and
Hamlet talk, and the Queen asks Polonius to spy to see what Hamlet
says. Hamlet hears something, and thinks Cladius is in his mom's room,
and gets mad. He kills Polonius, thinking it's Cladius. The ghost
enters, but the Queen doesn't see it. I didn't understand why she
couldn't see it.

[khosch]

Jordan's mention of finding Claudius in prayer is very significant
(deals with the theme of redemption). Compare this to what the ghost
of King Hamlet told Hamlet about his own death and what he was denied.

[Trevor]

Hamlet continued the play that he made to see who killed his father.
It ended up being Cladius because his guilt was so bad that he had to
leave. He then wants to kill Cladius but he goes to his room and he is
in prayer. He can't kill him when he is praying because he wants to
kill him while he is commiting a sin so he goes to hell.

[Trevor]

[bpaterni]

Claudius is in prayer because after the reenactment of King Hamlet's
death he feels somewhat remorseful of his actions. Hamlet
passes by and ponders the act of killing him then, but he can't
because praying for forgiveness somehow cancels out bad deeds and if
he was to kill him, Claudius would then go to heaven. Apparently this
isn't what Hamlet wants, so he lets him live.

This situation is contrasted by King Hamlet's death, in that he did
not get a chance to confess his sins before he was murdered. What
difference would it make if he did? I don't know.

[Jenn]

Act 3 is about the play that Hamlet wrote. As the play is going on the
player are suppose to watch Claudius to see what his reactions are. He
ends up going up to his room alone so Hamlet decides that he was the
killer of his father. Hamlet and and the Queen are talking while
Polonius is hiding that way he can spy on Hamlet to see what he says.
It was the Queen's request for him to do it. Hamlet can hear him and
thinks that it is Claudius so he kills him, turns out it was Polonius
that he killed. Hamlet asks his mother to not go back to Claudius's
bed and to stay away from him.

[spenc]

In act 3 the play is shown to claudius. He gets up and yells for the
lights when he sees the poison being poured in the ear. Claudius was
praying when hamlet was about to kill him but decided not to because
he wasn't doing anything sinful. He then goes to his mothers room and
accidentally kills polonius.

[Brittany]

I get that claudius stands up and yells when he sees the play but why
was hamlet going crazy in his moms room and why didn't he kill
claudius?

[Dalen]

In this act hamlet shows the play to claudius and he leaves during
it. He was about to kill him and then he was praying thats why he
didn't. He then goes to his moms room and kills polonius and she
tells him she won't tell claudius that he is faking his madness.

[Janae Nibbelink]

The play is shown and when it comes to the murder scene Claudias has
to leave and hamlet is called to speak to his mother. On the way there
Hamlet sees Claudias praying and wants to kill him bnut he waits
untill Claudias is sinning so when he dies he'll go to hell. In his
mother's room he admonishes her for marrying his uncle. While he is
doing this the ghost comes in and speaks to hamlet. the queen cannot
see the ghost and thinks that hamlet has dfenitly gone insane.

[Zinnel]

In act 3 they all watch hamlets play and the king and queen do not
like it. After the play the king tells Hamlet's mom to talk to hamlet.
The king is praying to god in hopes of him forgiving him. Hamlets
could have killed him but he did not. Hamlet goes and tells his mother
that he knows and she thinks that he is going to kill him so she calls
for help and the P guy jumps out of a tree or something and Hamlet
stabs him. The ghost comes and talks to Hamlet and his mom but his mom
cant hear or see the ghost. Hamlets agrees to go to England and they
drag P's body away.

[Angel K.]

In act 3 the play that Hamlet made goes on and they find out that
Claudius is guilty. Hamlet now wants to kill him and wants to make
sure he goes to hell by having him admit that he has sinned.

[Freese]

in act 3 hamlet had the play. he saw that claudius killed his father
becuase he left. hamlet wanted to kill him but since he wasnt doing
anything bad he couldn't kill him. hamlet had the chance to kill him
but he was in prayer so he couldn't.

[Angel K.]

I forgot to add that new blog about the "m" word so I believe it fits
because Claudius killed his brother just to have power and to marry
his wife.

[nathan]

The play took place in this chapter. Claudius had to leave the play
and then hamlet knew he was the killer. So hamlet was going to sneak
up and kill him. He got behind him but saw him praying so he couldn't
kill him.

[Ashley]

act 3 Hamlet has the chance to kill claudious but he is praying about
his sins and so hamlet can't do it other wise hamlet would go to hell.
this all happens after claudious see the play and the scene when king
died so claudious is praying about it for forgiveness.

[taylor]

in act three Hamlet puts on the play and Claudius is upset and thinks
that Hamlets insane is now dangerous and wants to send him to England.
Hamlet talks to his mother and Polonius is listening behind the
curtains and makes a noise and Hamlet stabs him thinking it is
Claudius. Hamlet tried killing Claudius but could not because he was
praying and would send him to heaven which would not be a good enough
revenge for what he did.

[Katherine]

There are many examples of machiavellianism in Hamlet. Claudius kills
Hamlet to be king, Hamlet (the son) kills Claudius to avenge both his
parents, Laertes kills Hamlet to avenge his father and sister. None of
them thought twice about killing someone just to get what they wanted,
which makes them good examples.

[Kayla]

Act III is about Hamlet's play he writes. The play was to stage
Claudius and make him feel bad for killing his father and have him
show that he did it. Claudius runs away from the play and goes up to
his room. This shows that he did in fact kill King Hamlet. He is
praying when Hamlet comes to kill him. Hamlet wants Claudius to go to
hell so he doesn't kill him while he is praying because he would go to
heaven. Does the queen believe that Claudius is the killer of her
husband? The ghost says that she had cheated on him before with his
brother but Hamlet doesn't know. Did she fall in love with Claudius
before King Hamlet had died? Was she in on the plan to kill her own
husband? The machiavilism is when Claudius wants to send Hamlet away
to England. I think that is how he wants to get his power. Claudius
wants to send him away so that he stays out of his mother and his
uncle's business.

[Jesse]

Act 3 is about a play that Hamlet wrote which is about the murder of
King Hamlet. Hamlet wrote it to see if Claudius really did killed his
dad. He figures out that he did and tries to kill him but finds him
during his prayer so he will kill him some other time.

[tylern]

Act 3 shows Hamlet using the Mousetrap play to get Claudius to show
that he killed King Hamlet. Claudius seems to show remorse at killing
his brother.

[Nick M]

In act 3 Hamlet shows all of the people including the king the play
that he wrote to see if the king actually did kill his father. During
the play, his uncle left the play so Hamlet knew that he was guilty of
killing his father. Hamlet followed his uncle up to his room and was
going to kill him but he was praying so he decided to wait until
another time. The queen and Hamlet were talking and Hamlet saw the
ghost but the queen could not see it for some reason. The queen tells
Hamlet he should go to England. His uncle shows Machiavellianism
because he does whatever he can to become king. He kills Hamlet's
father to become king and marry his mother. He did whatever it took to
get what he wanted.

[Matejka]

In act three the king, queen and hamlet are watching a play about the
king getting murdered. He used this Mousetrap play to see if the his
uncle killed his father and in the play he left and knew that Claudius
did kill his father. The queen and hamlet were talking and the ghost
comes and talks to hamlet but the queen can't see the ghost and thinks
that hamlet is crazy talking to something that wasn't there. While
they were talking hamlet kills polonius because he was spying on them
to tell the king what hamlet was telling the queen. The queen told
hamlet he should go to England. His uncle shows machavellianism
because he will do whatever he can to get to stay in power, he wants
hamlet to go to england and has the queen tell him that so he will
have nothing in the way of him being king.

[alicia]

Hamlet kills polonius thinking that it is Claudius and the ghost
appears but the queen can not see him.

[AmandaStefl]

Act 3 was pretty long and a lot went on.. Hamlets play was performed
and is trying to catch Claudius. It seems like everyone just wants to
get revenge and that is the only thing that matters. They will do
whatever it takes to obtain their power.

[Mr. Slave]

So he continues the play and watches his uncle. He ends up finding out
that he is actually the killer. But he not only wants to kill him, he
wants to make sure he goes to hell by him committing to the murder.

[shuey]

Hamlet gets the chance to kill him but can't because he said that he
wasn't doing anything sinful. the reason is that Hamlet just cant
kill. he is not a killer.

[sharp]

In act 3 they show the reactions of the death of king hamlet and
Hamlet writes the play and sees how Claudius reacts. When they
actually have the play Claudius is no where to be found so Hamlet
finds him in his room to kill him. He is about to do it, but he is
praying and he wants to do it at a time when he's sinning. They show
machiavellianism when Claudius kills king Hamlet to become the king
and marry his wife and acheive power.

[Ryan]

Hamlet continues to act crazy. Hamlet talks to his mother and they
talk about why he is going crazy. Hamlet writes a play about what
Claudius did to King Hamlet and had traveling actors act it out.
Hamlet had a friend watch Claudius's reactions to see if he infact
killed Hamlet's dad. Then Hamlet kills Polineous because he thought it
was Claudius.

[Ed]

Hamlet continues his play and he kills his girlfriends father and he
also tries to kill Claudius but he is in prayer and he can't kill him
while he is in prayer cause then he will go to heaven and his father
didn't get that opportunity so he doesn't kill him.

[Jess]

Hamlet sets up a play in which it acts out what he thinks happened to
his dad. which was Claudius killing him. He has Horatio help him watch
Claudius' reaction. Hamlet is being very rude to Ophelia, he had told
her to go to an nunnery, then makes all these sexual comments to her.
When Claudius leaves the play because he is upset, Hamlet goes to kill
him but he is in prayer and decides it's not a good time to kill him.

I don't really understand why he is being a jerk to Ophelia, even if
someone was watching, he doesn't have to be a jerk, he just don't have
to say anything.

[Chris]

in act III hamlet puts on the play that he has written. Claudius
doesn't like the play. Claudius is left all alone so he reveals his
guilt to the audience. Hamlet wants to kill him while he is praying
but fears that because he is praying he will go to heaven. Hamlet
kills Polonius in his mother's room. The mom thinks that hamlet has
gone insane because she can't see the ghost that he is talking to.

[Shelby]

In act III the players put on their play. The King freaks out during
it when all the murder stuff is happened since it is
almost like what he did. Polonius is hiding in the Queen's room so he
can spy on Hamlet when he comes to talk to her. Hamlet finds out he is
there and kills him.

[racheal]

In Act 3 Hamlet is preparing for the play and meeting
the actors and more. During the play, which is a
complete mockery of the relationship between
the queen and new king, Claudius storms out, and
wants to send Hamlet away.

[Treye]

In this Act hamlet is heart broken and he is very upset with Ophelia
she listens to her father and agrees that he can spy on hamlet and
herself while they are talking. Hamlet figures this out and rebukes
her and tells her to just go away from him. This is a big dilemma for
hamlet for he truly cares for her but at the same time he cant believe
what he has done it will be interesting to see how this turns out.

[Brittanee Deeringer]

Hamlet performs his play so he could see Claudius' reaction.

[Adrianne]

Act 3 is about Hamlet finishing his play about his father's death.
He is writing this play to see the reactions of Claudius. During the
play
Claudius has to leave and go to his room by himself, this shows that
Claudius is
guilty of killing Hamlet. Hamlet was going to sneak up behind him and
kill Claudius
but Claudius was in the middle of praying. Hamlet decided he needed to
kill Claudius when
is was doing something bad.

[Joc]

In act 3 everyone watched Hamlet's play in which King and Queen did
not like it. Hamlet has the actors spying on Cladius looking for his
reactions to the play. Hamlet kills polinius thinking its cladius.
because he thought cladius was spying on him.

[morgan jo]

Hamlet finishes him play to find out who killed his dad. Since
Claudius left, he assumes that it was him who had done it. When he
goes to kill him, he isn't able to because Claudius is in prayer,
asking for forgiveness from god for committing this sin, so if Hamlet
is to kill him, he will go to heaven. Hamlet decides to wait until
Claudius is committing a sin before he kills him.

[jacy]

Act 3 seemed like it kind of went on and I didn't understand a lot.
What I did get out of it was that Hamlet's play was performed. Revenge
seems like a big role in this act because Hamlet is trying to catch
Cladius. It seems like everyone is paranoid and everyone is always
trying to watch their back and trying to be the most powerful out of
everyone.

[mallory]

Cladius watches the play hamlet wrote and hamlet wanted to see the
reactions to see if claudius really killed hamlets dad, the king.
Claudius leaves the room and hamlet decides hes going to go kill him
so he follows him and kills Polonius thinking it was Claudius.

[Amanda Dunnick]

I noticed in act 3, Hamlet is talking more so in poem form. I think
he's hitting depression hard. I don't really blame him though because
his father was killed by his uncle that soon after married Hamlet's
mother then Hamlet's lover won't speak to him.
