Act 3: Scene 4 Flashcards
you have my father much offended
Hamlet to Gertrude
You are the queen, your husband’s brother’s wife,
And—would it were not so!—you are my mother.
Hamlet to Gertrude
Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge.
Hamlet to Gertrude
How now, a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead!
Hamlet to Gertrude
Oh, what a rash and bloody deed is this!
Gertrude to Hamlet
Almost as bad, good mother,
As kill a king and marry with his brother.
Hamlet to Gertrude
Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell.
I took thee for thy better. Take thy fortune.
Thou find’st to be too busy is some danger.
Hamlet to Polonius
Leave wringing of your hands. Peace. Sit you down
And let me wring your heart. For so I shall
If it be made of penetrable stuff,
Hamlet to Gertrude
What have I done, that thou darest wag thy tongue
In noise so rude against me?
Gertrude to Hamlet
makes marriage vows
As false as dicers’ oaths
Hamlet to Gertrude
Ay me, what act
That roars so loud and thunders in the index?
Gertrude to Hamlet
This was your husband. Look you now, what follows.
Here is your husband, like a mildewed ear
Blasting his wholesome brother
Hamlet to Gertrude
. What devil was ’t
That thus hath cozened you at hoodman-blind?
Eyes without feeling, feeling without sight,
Ears without hands or eyes, smelling sans all,
Hamlet to Gertrude
where is thy blush?
Rebellious hell,
If thou canst mutine in a matron’s bones,
To flaming youth let virtue be as wax
And melt in her own fire. Proclaim no shame
Hamlet to Gertrude
Thou turn’st mine eyes into my very soul,
And there I see such black and grainèd spots
As will not leave their tinct.
Gertrude to Hamlet
A murderer and a villain,
A slave that is not twentieth part the tithe
Hamlet to Gertrude
Do you not come your tardy son to chide,
That, lapsed in time and passion
Hamlet to Ghost
This visitation Is but to whet thy almost blunted purpose.
Ghost to Hamlet
It is not madness
That I have uttered. Bring me to the test
Hamlet to Gertrude
thou hast cleft my heart in twain.
Gertrude to Hamlet
throw away the worser part of it,
And live the purer with the other half.
Hamlet to Gertrude
And when you are desirous to be blessed,
I’ll blessing beg of you
Hamlet to Gertrude
I must be cruel only to be kind.
Hamlet to Gertrude
Make you to ravel all this matter out:
That I essentially am not in madness
Hamlet to Gertrude
I have no life to breathe
What thou hast said to me.
Gertrude to Hamlet
Whom I will trust as I will adders fanged,
Hamlet to Gertrude
They must sweep my way
And marshal me to knavery. Let it work,
For ’tis the sport to have the engineer
Hoist with his own petard
Hamlet to Gertrude
But I will delve one yard below their mines,
And blow them at the moon.
Hamlet to Gertrude
