Hamlet Final Assignment
Rachel Pond

For my final assignment, I decided to make a collage of Hamlet’s complex mind. I used arrows to indicate where and what he is thinking of during the play. The first arrow indicates Hatred. This is an ongoing occurrence in his mind because during the whole play, he continually hates Claudius. This is an important theme in the play because him hating Claudius causes drama and results in Claudius’ death. Another theme in my collage is that Hamlet continually thinks about is death. In the play, death is an ongoing occurrence and shapes the play into a tragedy. During the play, almost everyone’s death has to do with Hamlet’s actions. Also, deception plays a he role in the play Hamlet. In a way, Hamlet feels as if his mother has deceived him because of her remarriage to his Uncle Claudius. Also, deception is running through his head because Rozencrantz and Guildenstern stabbed him in the back. They were supposed to be his friends meanwhile they were spying on him as a favour to the king. During the play, Hamlet reveals himself as very inquisitive. He is questioning himself whether he should kill himself and relieve his suffering, or to stay strong and deal with his problems. Also, he questions himself when he is thinking whether or not he has actually become mad, and that it is not just an act anymore. I believe that that is an ongoing occurrence during the play. Lastly, Hamlet shows that he is indecisive when he doesn’t know how to deal with his actions. He procrastinates and second-guesses himself because he is not sure of what he wants. My collage shows that there are many thoughts going through Hamlet’s mind throughout the play Hamlet.
