Hamlet's soliloquies comprise an important portion of the reading.
Discuss why they are important and what function they serve, based on
your readings so far.
Also, identify and discuss themes that were presented that do not
appear on your pretest focus.

Hamlet's soliloquies serve to reveal the character of Hamlet to the
audience. This is important because verbal discourse between the
characters gets him nowhere, whereas his monologues accomplish more in
terms of storytelling.
One of the themes I gathered from the introduction would be the
paranoia of living in an authoritarian state. Hamlet is one the
surveyors that are tasked with observing the kings subjects, although
sometimes, even the watchers need to be watched. This results in
everybody always looking over their shoulder, wondering if someone is
plotting against them which would also be called paranoia.

The soliloquies in Hamlet tell more about him. It gives the person/
audience more about the character. The talking between the characters
in the play doesn't make sense about who he is.

Hamlet's soliloquies give the audience an idea as to what he's
thinking, and background information that they wouldn't know just from
watching the actors and listening to their dialogue. A theme that I
think is obvious in Hamlet is retribution from beyond the grave. King
Hamlet's ghost comes back to tell his son the truth about his death.

Hamlet's soliloquies help tell the audience more about him. With the
characters talking in the play it doesn't help explain who he really
is.
One theme that I got out of the introduction would be the fact that
they are always worried is someone is trying to go against them.

Hamlet's solioquies just describes the characters and since there is
so many characters it is just much easier to list the characters. A
theme is loyalty because he has to question his loyalty to his king
and his kings people. Is he going to avenge his father or by loyal to
the king.

The soliloquies give us an idea of what Hamlet is thinking. It gives
us a deeper understanding of his character. They are just him
thinking outloud and only the audience hears him.

Hamlet's soliloquies is to show more of hamlets character to the
people/audience. This is because the discussions between the people
don't tell much about him and he tells important information about
himself.
One theme i've identified would be loyalty because he is wondering if
he should be loyal to his uncle the king or kill him to avenge his
father.

Hamlet's soliloquies tell more about him. It is like he is thinking
out loud so you know what is going on in his head and you learn more
about him.
I came up with trust as a theme. Hamlet doesn't know if he can trust
his uncle because he may have killed his father. He also doesn't know
if he can trust his mother because she quickly married her late
husbands brother after he died.

Hamlets soliloquies is to tell more about him to the audience and its
important because the disccusion between the characters doesn't tell
much about him. A theme i've found is revenge. Hamlet wants to get
revenge on his uncle for killing his father.

letting out his frustratins and feelings so they aren't pent up inside
and it lets the audience know what Hamlet feels and why.

are important because it gives background information that we don't
get from the dialogue from the other characters. One theme is
probably revenge because he wants to kill his uncle to avenge his

Hamlet's soliliquies tell the audience about Hamlet as a person and
tell them other information that is not included in the talking
between people. A theme that i got from the introduction was loyalty
to his father by killing the King. because the king killed his father
and he wants to get revenge but he also goes back and forth because he
also feels he should show loyalty to the kingdom.

hamlets soliloquies guarantee the existence of the hero's secret inner
life and also implies the presence of still a more profoundly secret
truths about himself. the soliloquies are the focuz of the play's
preoccupation within speaking.

They are important because it shows the character's true self, and
lets the audience understand what he is thinking. It also serves as
story telling because this is suppose it be play, it's more
interesting than someone just telling what happens.
One theme I got was the struggle within himself. Because his mom
married his uncle he is suppose to respect him as king, but at the
same time he doesn't want to because he thinks their marriage is
disgusting and he still has much loyalty to his dad.

cannot say aloud. Without the soliloquies we wouldn't know as much
about Hamlet. I'm still a little hazy about other themes.

The soliloquies are an important part of the reading because it helps
you understand who Hamlet is because in the reading it is hard to get
an idea of who he is so it helps reveal Hamlet and better your
understanding for the story. A theme would be loyalty because there is
the whole thing that goes on weather or not to kill his uncle the king
for his father.

i think that the soliloquies helped explain what the story was about
and how to understand it. it helped me a lot because i think the text
in the book is hard to understand because it's in poem form. it makes
things a bit more entertaining in a way, but it's confusing.
i think one of the themes in the book was paranoia. the characters are
very concerned about people's motives.

Hamlets father came back from the dead and told him to get revenge.
Hamlet is a lover not a fighter and won't commit the murder though. I
think it shows the afterlife and many other themes, but his father
comes back from the dead to show afterlife. It also tells alot about
Hamlet and how he acts.

So Hamlet's soliloquies tell us what hamlet is think or saying to
himself in his head. They also tell us kind of the background of
Hamlet, and why he is doing the things he does, or why he thinks about
the things he does. A theme i would think about, would be like
reserection form the dead. This comes into play when Hamlets dad comes
and talks to him.

Hamlet's soliloquiesshow the audience what Hamlet is really like. It
fills you in on who he is as a person and what his thoughts and
beliefs and values are. A theme that i think is very relevant in
Hamlet is justice and proper burial. King Hamlet comes back to seek
justice for his death because he wasn't properly buried.

It tells you more about Hamlet that not everyone knows about. They are
important because it gives you more of an idea of whats happening in
the story. A theme that is in this story is retribution from beyond
the grave. The dead king Hamlet comes back in the form of a ghost to
try to get back at the man who killed him.

also it shows his strive for love which is part of the human condition
and shows he doesnt care what happens to him.

The soliloquies tell what Hamlet is thinking and help the people
watching to understand his thoughts. A good theme i think that is
taking place is revenge on his uncle and his mom. He is mad at his
uncle obviously for killing his father and he's mad at his mom for
being so driven and run by men to become his wife. sick.

the soliloquies help you understand what the character is really
thinking. when hamlet is acting "crazy" all the time it helps you to
understand when he talked to the audiance about what he is thinking
about.
