Act 3: Scene 1 Flashcards
He does confess he feels himself distracted.
Guildenstern to Claudius
But with a crafty madness keeps aloof
Guildenstern to Claudius
This night to play before him
Guildenstern to Claudius
And he beseeched me to entreat your Majesties
To hear and see the matter.
Polonius to Claudius
For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
That he, as ’twere by accident, may here
Affront Ophelia.
Claudius to Gertrude
We may of their encounter frankly judge,
And gather by him
Claudius to Gertrude
I do wish
That your good beauties be the happy cause Of Hamlet’s wildness
Gertrude to Ophelia
That show of such an exercise may color
Your loneliness.
Polonius to Ophelia
We are oft to blame in this,
‘Tis too much proved, that with devotion’s visage And pious action we do sugar o’er The devil himself.
Polonius to Ophelia
Oh, ’tis too true!
How smart a lash that speech doth give my conscience!
Claudius to Himself
The harlot’s cheek, beautied with plastering art, Is not more ugly to the thing that helps it
Than is my deed to my most painted word.
O heavy burden!
Claudius to Himself
To be, or not to be? That is the question—
Hamlet to Himself?Ophelia?
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
Hamlet to Himself?Ophelia?
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to
Hamlet to Himself?Ophelia?
tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished!
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub,
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all
Hamlet to Himself? Ophelia
That I have longèd long to redeliver.
I pray you now receive them.
Ophelia to Hamlet
the power of beauty will sooner transform honesty from what it is to a bawd than the force of honesty can translate beauty into his likeness
Hamlet to Ophelia
Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?
Hamlet to Ophelia
I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,
Hamlet to Ophelia
What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all. Believe none of us.
Hamlet to Ophelia
Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in ’s own house
Hamlet to Ophelia
Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny
Hamlet to Ophelia
marry a fool, for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them
Hamlet to Ophelia
Go to, I’ll no more on ’t. It hath made me mad.
Hamlet to Ophelia
Oh, what a noble mind is here o’erthrown!—
Ophelia to Herself
Oh, woe is me,
T’ have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
Ophelia to Herself
Love? His affections do not that way tend.
Nor what he spake, though it lacked form a little,
Was not like madness.
Claudius to Polonius
have in quick determination
Thus set it down: he shall with speed to England
Claudius to Polonius
his grief
Sprung from neglected love
Polonius to Claudius
Let his queen mother all alone entreat him
To show his grief
Polonius to Claudius
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
Claudius to Polonius
Give me that man
That is not passion’s slave, and I will wear him
In my heart’s core
Hamlet to Horatio
I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,
Even with the very comment of thy soul
Observe mine uncle
Hamlet to Horatio
If his occulted guilt
Do not itself unkennel in one speech,
It is a damnèd ghost that we have seen,
Hamlet to Horatio
Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me.
Gertrude to Horatio
