What are the most important passages of hamlet act why?
Some of the most important passages in Hamlet include: Hamlet's soliloquy "To be or not to be," where he contemplates the nature of existence and the afterlife; the scene of Hamlet confronting his mother, Queen Gertrude, in her chamber about her hasty marriage to his uncle Claudius; and the final scene of the play, where Hamlet delivers his dying speech and appoints Fortinbras as the next ruler of Denmark. These passages are key moments in the play that reveal Hamlet's internal struggle, relationships with others, and ultimate fate.
Did Hamlet say to be or not to be?
He did indeed. It's the most famous thing he says. He says it in Act III Scene 1 of the play.
Is Hamlet waiting for the right moment or procrastinating?
You could argue either.In the scene when Hamlet attempts to kill Claudius but decides against it is the most significant for this question (So I will be referring to it.) The cause could arguably be 3 things: Hamlet's fear, Hamlet's scheming, or Hamlet's procrastination.Scheming - Hamlet himself says he would rather kill Claudius when he is 'drunk, asleep or in his rage, or in th'incestuous pleasure of his bed' - as Claudius is praying in thie scene, Hamlet could be rationally thinking when it may be better to kill him, in order to send him straight to hell.Procrastintion - As Hamlet's hamartia (tragic flaw) is his lack of action, the reason for him not killing Claudius in this scene could indeed be Hamlet's procrastination, or 'overthinking' of the situation at hand - if another Shakesperian hero such as Macbeth was placed in the same position as Hamlet, the whole play would be complete in one scene. Instead, Hamlet overanalyses the situation before doubting himself.Fear - it could be argued that Hamlet doesn't kill Claudius for fear of what may happen afterwards; most importantly, the throne Hamlet must take. This could be an underlying cause of Hamlet's procrastination.What is obvoius in this scene however is that it is a turning point in the play. If Hamlet had killed Claudius here, Gertrude wouldn't have died, nor Laertes, Ohelia or himself. This proves that Hamlet's lack of action does eventually lead to his downfall.As Shakespeare does not map out to the audience what is the real cause of Hamlet's lack of action, the reader/viewer must decide for themselves.
Which of Hamlet's plans does Claudius say is most retrograde to our desire?
"As for your intent in going back to school in Wittenberg, it is most retrograde to our desire." Act I Scene 2.
What scene in hemlet is the phrase to be or not to be taken from?
The phrase "To be, or not to be..." comes from Act III, Scene i, as the opening line to the most famous soliloquy in all of the Shakespearean canon. Hamlet has just entered the stage, and the King and Polonius have just exited--there is a strong suggestion that they can hear what Hamlet is saying, ostensibly aloud to himself.
In Hamlet who was loyal to hamlet?
Hamlet's friend Horatio was most loyal to him. Furthermore, in Act 1, scene 5, Hamlet makes Horatio and Marcellus swear loyalty to him and to never reveal what they have witnessed in the woods and Hamlet's interaction with his father's ghost.
What is the climax in drama?
The climax is like the most important/exciting moment of a play/book/movie; everything before the climax more or less builds up to it, dropping hints, building characters, etc, and then the climax is when that important something happens. It could be a battle, a discovery, a chase scene, etc.
What is the missing word in this quotation from hamlet'murder most foul as in the best it is but this most foul strange and?
The Ghost says this in Act I Scene 5 of Hamlet: Murder most foul, as in the best it is, but this most foul, strange and unnatural."
Where did the ghost appear in Hamlet?
In the first Scene, Act I scene 1, the Ghost is seen by sentinels at a platform outside the castle. (The "platform" is a raised area, an earthen mound, that gives an elevated viewing position. In performance, stage or movie, the first scene is often set on the castle ramparts, but Shakespeare's dialogue explicitly contradicts that.) In Scene 4 (Act I scene 4) the Ghost is seen by Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcellus, again at the platform. In Scene 5 (Act I scene 5) the Ghost is still being seen by Hamlet, alone now, at some distance from the platform. (This scene is probably set in or near the graveyard, but the location is not explicit in the dialogue, and identifying the setting as the graveyard relies on subtle details of interpretation.) In Scene 11 (Act 3 scene 4), the Closet Scene, the Ghost is seen by Hamlet (but not by Gertrude) in Gertrude's private room. So, overall, the Ghost appears in four Scenes, at three locations. If the questioner only wanted to know where the Ghost first appears, the answer is: at the sentinels' platform. And that happens in the first Scene.
