hamlet+1.4-1.5

4. "O cursed spite/ That ever I was born to set it right" 1.5.210-211 This is Hamlet's reaction to the ghost's story. He is saying that out of pure spite for his uncle and now is mother, he is driven toward seeking revenge for the murder of his father. I think this quote perfectly exemplifies revenege in that people don't seeking for no reason, there is always a driving force behind it.

6/5. Relationships/character reaction This scene really changes the way Hamlet is going to interact and see his mother. He is angry with her for betraying his father. I think that because the ghost told him what happened, perceptions about his uncle and his mother are going to change in the coming scenes. From the way he reacted to the story his good foreshadowing to how he might react in situations. Hamlet seems to be rash and quick to react. He doesn't think before he acts. The relationship between Horatio and Marcellus and Hamlet will change because Hamlet made them swear upon the sword. I feel like making them keep the secret, even if they don't know what it is, I going to change their dynamic.

8. ambiguoius quote 1.5.137-138 "There's never a villain dwelling in all Denmark/ But he's an arrant knave" Hamlet says this to Horatio and Marcellus. He is saying the ghost has told him that there is a villian in Denmark and his is completely dishonest. That is a pretty uniform discription of a villlain or a criminal. Hamlet confuses them so that he doesn't tell them exactly what the ghost told him, but he is still not lying.
