Can I see Act V Scene ii of Shakespeare's Hamlet?

Sure. Attend any production of the play or rent or borrow any recorded performance or movie. It's the last scene in the play--nobody is going to cut it.


why do you think shakespeare opens the play with humor when the story is the tragedy of julius ccaesar?

Shakespeare often juxtaposes humor and tragedy. In fact, almost all of his major tragedies include "light" scenes that both cut through the tension and provide dramatic contrast with the gut-wrenching scenes.

What Shakespeare plays have a lot of blood in them?

If you really want a bloody play by Shakespeare, what you want to watch is Titus Andronicus. In this play, we start off with having a bloody human sacrifice, then we have a son killed in a swordfight with his father, a man killed in a tiger pit, and two other men wrongfully beheaded for doing it, and another man who chops off his own hand in hopes that it will save the wrongfully accused men. Then there is a girl who is raped and her tongue cut out and her hands cut off so she can't name her assailants. She manages to do this anyway after which she is killed by her father in an act of euthanasia. The father then kills the rapists and cooks them in a pie which he feeds to their mother. After this act of cannibalism, he kills her, is killed by her husband, who is then killed by someone else. The three corpses lie all over the supper table bleeding freely as the play ends. Coming in second to Titus is Hamlet. Macbeth, which has only three onstage murders plus a murder, a beheading, and a probable suicide offstage, does feature the word "blood" and its derivatives more than any other Shakespeare play.


What happened to Flavius and Marullus when they removed the trophies from Caesar's statues?

Shakespeare doesn't tell us what happened to Marullus and Flavius after they removed the crowns and robes from Caesar's statues. He only tells us they were silenced. Perhaps they were executed or had their tongues cut out, but there is no way to know for sure since Shakespeare left it to the reader's imagination.

How long did Macbeth play go for in 1606?

Many people think that the copy of Macbeth which was printed in the First Folio was not the play Shakespeare originally wrote. The play is very short for a Shakespeare play and several scenes have been written by another hand, probably by Thomas Middleton, who wrote some of the cutesy songs the witches are supposed to sing. It's thought that Middleton deleted some of Shakespeare's scenes to make room for his own (this was an honest effort, as apparently the audiences liked the cute and/or funny witches). At the same time, some people think that the written versions of most of the plays are not the plays that were performed. The plays as written run for about three hours, but copies which look like performance versions (like Macbeth and the First Quarto of Hamlet) run for about two. There is also the phrase in the Prologue of Romeo and Juliet saying that the play would be the "two hours traffic of our stage." Perhaps Shakespeare wrote these three hour long plays which were then cut down to two for performance (as they often are nowadays).
