Why is shakespeare use dumb show in Hamlet?
to show the importance of the actions usually it uses actions more than speech just like the play of hamlet it consists of a dumb show
What is the significance of the dumb show in hamlet?
Some writers have claimed that the dumb show is extremely significant because the story of the dumb show and the story of the "play within a play" are not the same story, but that one of them is a comment of current affairs in England ca. 1600. There is not a lot of evidence for such an analysis. The dumb show has also been pointed to as a reference to the style of drama exemplified by such plays as Gorboduc, which made free use of dumb shows to prefigure the action, and sometimes to move it forward. The stilted speech in the spoken drama adds to the feeling that Shakespeare is imitating and perhaps ridiculing this obsolete style of drama. Then again, the dumb show lengthens the time during which Claudius and Gertrude can realize that the play is about them, thus improving the dramatic possibilities while they slowly come to this realization, including ironic lines such as "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
Is the play written by Shakespeare Hamlet a silent play?
No. Most of the characters in the play have speaking parts, although there are Lords, guardsmen and others mentioned in the stage directions who do not speak. However, as part of the play-within-a-play, Shakespeare wrote a prologue to the play called a "dumb-show" which is in fact a "silent play"--the actors do not speak. So in that sense a part of Hamlet is indeed a silent play.
Where is hamlet being send?
Claudius was suspicious that Hamlet knew of his crime after the players had put on their show. After Claudius hears that Hamlet had stabbed Polonius, Claudius was certain that Hamlet was trying to kill him. To protect himself, he sends Hamlet to England with a letter and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to deliver him. The letter contains instructions for the king of England to have Hamlet executed.
Does hamlet show remorse for killing polonius?
Oh, yes. Hamlet tortures him constantly and gratuitously. "Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?" Hamlet is just doing that to make Polonius look like a fool.
