It is a soliloquy and a rallying call . He speaks as if to an entire army when the truth is he is rallying himself. The way branagh delivers this is apt i think. By speaking as if to an army which is about to go to war he tries to put a psychological end to his procrastination. His words are aimed inward making himself the army. It can be seen as a psychological attempt to create enormous courage. This is one interpretation of both the playwrights intention linked to the actors performance.

This film absolutely blow me away, It is incredible! Kenneth Branagh is fully responsible for my love of Shakespeare and I can’t thank him enough for the introduction 🤩 This scene is probably the most memorable for me when I saw it on the big screen for the first time, as this soliloquy is usually cut from most productions, I’d never heard it before, it has so many layers and I was left stunned in my seat when it went to intermission 😮 Needless to say I went back the next night!
@JayJay-xd5lm Жыл бұрын
'Examples gross as earth exhort me.' Staggering , devastating performance . Funny enough this speech is usually cut because the play is about four hours long. Oliviers version is about two hours. For Branagh to film the entire play was quite a risk. Yet he totally succeded on every level. This movie version is the one I've used to win over neutrals . It should be far more celebrated.

How all occasions do inform against me and spur my dull revenge. Here hamlet is blaming everyone including himself and everything for his failure to avenge his father. But his procrastination seems to hint at some psychopathic tendencies. I say this because hes not really procrastinating because he cant decide whether to kill Claudius or not but rather hes trying to work out how he can kill him but then basically get away with it. Its an extreme premeditation rather than procrastination.

How all occasions do inform against me And spur my dull revenge. What is a man If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? A beast - no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and godlike reason To fust in us unused. Now whether it be Bestial oblivion or some craven scruple Of thinking too precisely on th’event (A thought which quartered hath but one part wisdom And ever three parts coward) I do not know Why yet I live to say this thing’s to do, Sith I have cause and will and strength and means To do’t. Examples gross as earth exhort me - Witness this army of such mass and charge, Led by a delicate and tender prince Whose spirit with divine ambition puffed Makes mouths at the invisible event Exposing what is mortal and unsure To all that fortune, death and danger dare Even for an eggshell. Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour’s at the stake. How stand I then That have a father killed, a mother stained, Excitements of my reason and my blood, And let all sleep; while to my shame I see The imminent death of twenty thousand men That for a fantasy and trick of fame Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause, Which is not tomb enough and continent To hide the slain? O, from this time forth My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth. (Act 4 Scene 4)

Incredible. As this progresses the occurrence of human genius becomes more frequent. In the past it was once in every 300 year or so that a genius in one of the various fields of human endeavor was born and nurtured. When that happens something incredible is created. Those people pushed and led and sometimes forced their scribes to grow and to develop. These pure nuggets of perfection and oasis of sublime creation guaranteed that the human race will not only survive but it will thrive despite our innate stupidity, our bigotry and our fears. When we are honored or graced with such special people, we can take comfort from the reality that they will lead, inspire and stimulate us to continue to strive to be more than we are….

Hamlet as a character does seem to have some delusions of grandeur but that might be apparent simply by the grandiose style of some of the language. So you can argue who is truly the one to blame: the character or the author. Sometimes people who are extremely insecure at times come out with the most bombastic and grandiose statements. This makes the character of hamlet more conplex still than he at first appears. I do believe king lear is the greatest play by shakespeare but i will always believe the creation of hamlet as a character is Shakespeare's finest achievement. He's a man pretending to be mad in places, in other places he appears slightly crazy even when talking to his friend horatio. Does this mean he is indeed a crazy man pretending to be sane pretending to be insane, or does he trust absolutely no one. This is my thinking and my opinion . It might be a misplaced opinion but it fuels the belief in me that the character of hamlet is almost a miracle of literary creation.
