Hamlet then speaks about the ghost of his father that he saw in the act and tells him to “Remember thee!” (Line 97) Hamlet repeats this several times in the passage because Shakespeare wanted to emphasize the attention and the power that Hamlet wants from everyone in Denmark.
In the video that is when Hamlet gets up from the ground and no longer speaks to someone else but to himself and is seems more powerful and confident. In some sense the word can be taken as Hamlet’s disgusting sins and Hamlet then reassures himself that he can use them to lift himself up and make him stronger. Remember me!” (95-96) Hamlet in some sense takes the negative aspects of his life his “sinows” which means his sinews which sounds like sin- ews. Then Hamlet goes on and says “And you, my sinows grow not instant old, But bear me up. Hamlet believes that his life is as bad as hell and that he does not know what to do. Hamlet says “And shall I couple hell?” meaning whether or not his life at the time could be compared to hell. The video made him look like he was praying and the language made Hamlet sound like he was questioning not only himself but also his father. At the beginning of the passage Hamlet says “ O all you host of Heaven! O earth! What else? And shall I couple hell?” (Lines 92-93) Hamlet in the video is in a kneeling position close to the ground lying up against a tree stump. Hamlet’s character after viewing the video is showing the audience a possible interpretation of the passage, in the passage Hamlet is so annoyed that his emotions at some points in the passage cause Hamlet’s vulnerable and weak side to show through. In the soliloquy Shakespeare demonstrates Hamlet’s character as a confused and distraught character by the repetitions in his language and grammar.
In Act 1 Scene 5 Hamlet reflects by speaking to himself and to the audience about his father and about his uncle, king Claudius and contemplates about whether or not his life is any better than his dead father’s.
