Best Answer

He has just seen Fortinbras leading an army to fight against the Poles. He has been told that the piece of land they are fighting over is not big enough to build a graveyard to bury the men who will die in the battle. Yet away they go "to their graves like beds." They aren't arguing with themselves about the rightness or logic of what they do. It makes no sense but they are doing it anyway. So why, Hamlet asks himself, do I keep asking myself to justify, to make sense of this act of revenge which is so much more justifiable than this insane military expedition?

Because hamlet struggles with his ability to see both sides of every issue and with his inability to kill the new King, so Hamlet wishes he was of a more fiery personality and then he would be able to just make a decision and kill the King (that would be his bloody thought)

He doesn't. He says "O, from this time forth, my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth." "MY thoughts", not "YOUR thoughts."

3 What does Hamlet decide after his chance encounter with a captain in Fortinbras army?

What he says he decides is, "O from this time forth my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth." It's an open question whether that is a decision or a knee-jerk reaction, which he'll soon forget about.


How do you summarize act IV scene IV in Hamlet the soliloquy?

Act IV, Scene iv in Hamlet ends with his soliloquy. He muses about his motivations and how he needs to move forward with his revenge. At the end of the speech, he steels himself to only focus and act on his bloody thoughts (those that drive him toward his revenge on his uncle). However, later Hamlet will show that this resolve is only in his words and not his actions.


Why does the players speech provoke Hamlets soliloquy?

The soliloquy itself tells us why. "Is it not monstrous that this player here, in a fiction, in a dream of passion, could force his soul so to his own conceit that from her working all his visage wanned, tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect, a broken voice, and his whole function serving with forms to his conceit. And all for nothing! For Hecuba! What's Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba that he should weep for her?" The player presents the image of a man in the grip of a great emotion. But it is all false--he is an actor, not the real Aeneas. But Hamlet is the real Hamlet and so he asks, "What would he do had he the motive and the cue for passion that I have?" If the actor had Hamlet's troubles, wouldn't he be even more passionate? But Hamlet upbraids himself for peaking like John a' Dreams and saying nothing. He should be screaming! He should be cursing like a very drab! He should call Claudius a villain, a bloody, bawdy villain, a lecherous, treacherous, kindless villain! He should scream out for vengeance!


What conflict does Hamlet revolve around?

Claudius is not indisicive like Hamlet is. Claudous decieds that he wants a kigndom and a girl. BAM He kills Hamlet's father and gets both. However Hamlet can't decide on anything. He can't even decide whether to live or not. "To be or not to be..."
