help needed DESPERATELY!!
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
good examples of 'what goes around comes around' in the play.
for example, laertes plans on cheating and puts poison on his sword to kill hamlet, and it ends up killing himself.
claudius kills old hamlet, young hamlet kills him.
i need more!!

Note everyone who dies, and then look at what they did to cause the corruption in Denmark. Gertrude, for example, had an affair with Claudius, then married him shortly after her husband's murder (though she didn't know about the murder).
Rosencrants (sp?) and Guildenstern (Hamlet's childhood friends) set out under Claudius's orders to have Hamlet killed. Once Hamlet escaped from the ship, he forged a letter saying that once the boat reached the shore, R & G were to be killed.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

but it isn't known for sure if they knew they were a part of the plan to kill hamlet....

Yes it is! Claudius clearly tells them to escort him there to be killed. They're shown as corrupt because they, his best friends from childhood, don't come to see him when his father dies, or when he's become "insane". They only come to Denmark when Claudius pays them to find out what Hamlet's up to. Then he sends Hamlet off, with them as an escort. Had they not been involved, the morally superior Hamlet wouldn't have sent them to death.

he doesn't say it right out... if he does, i definately missed that. do you know what scene/line?? i know they spied on hamlet.... and i know they went with him to england, but it isn't known that they knew hamlet was going to get killed.

Hmm... maybe they didn't know.
Either way, the corruption is there, so they got what they deserved.

How about Hamlet "pretending" to go crazy with the intention of killing Claudius but makes a mistake and kills Polonius, then Ophilia goes crazy because Hamlet appears crazy and killed her father and she (we suspect) kills herself.

*goes to re-read Hamlet*
God, that play friggin' rules.
God, that play friggin' rules.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
