Shakespeare and Film Exam- NOT DONE

Act 5 Scene 5 RIII

- " I love myself. Wherefore?... O no, alas, I rather hate myself." - suggests he is deformed because he is evil - deformity a sign of devil

"As false as dicers' oaths- O, such a deed As form the body of contraction plucks the very soul, and sweet religion makes A rhapsody of words! Heaven's face does glow O'er this solidity and compound mass..." "Look here upon this picture and on this, the counterfeit presentment of two brothers. See what a grace was seated on this brow, Hyperion's curls, the front of Jove himself..." " This was your husband. Look you now what follows. Here is you husband, like a mildewed ear Blasting his wholesome brother. Have you eyes?"

- Hamlet - Closet scene got moved to bedroom originally by olivier because of signmund and Oedipus complex -again talk about Doran same actor that plays king and claudius

"Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wits, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!- won to his shameful lust The will of my most seeming- virtuous queen" "But soft, methinks I scent the morning air. Brief let me be. Sleeping within my orchard, My custom always of he afternoon, Upon my score hour they uncle stole With juice of cursed heron in a vial And in the porches of my ears did pour.."

- Hamlet - Interaction with dead father- ghost - Interpolated scene in Branagh makes us trust the ghost more, we see murder happen - Close relationship with father, in Doran he seems colder towards hamlet (thus less trustworthy) - Also interpolated scene in Branagh leads us to believe affair occurred between gertrude and Claudius

" When down her weedy trophies and herself Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide, And mermaid- like awhile they bore her up, Which time she changed snatches of old lauds, As on incapable of her own distress Or like a creature native and endued Unto that element. But long it could not be Till her garments, heavy with their drink, pulled the poor wretch from her melodies lay to muddy death.." "That shows his leaves in the glassy stream Therewith fantastic garlands did she make of crow flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purple, That liberal shepherds give a grosser name, But our cold maids do "dead men's fingers" call Them..."

- Hamlet - Othelia's drowing - suicide? - gerturde personifies nature to make it seem like death was accidentally because suicide is a sin - gerturude is like a motherly figure because ophelia is with hamlet - ophelia in Alymereda film deliberately commits suicide as a rebellious act - Interpolated scenes suggest a sexual relationship, maybe Ophelia felt guilt and can no longer take it because now that hamlet is mad and wants her in a nunnery she can't have him and is ruined

" O, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt, Thaw and resolved itself into a dew, Or that the Everlasting had not fixed..." "Fie on't, ah fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden That grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. That it should come (to this) But two months dead- nay, not so much, but two. So excellent a king, that was to this.." "Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother That he might not between the winds of heaven Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth, Must I remember? Why she (would) hang on him As if increase o appetite had grown By what it fed on"

- Hamlet - Melancholy: melancholic - very sensitive, a perfectionist, will hold grudges - Talk about his mother's sexuality - She is too lusty for someone who just lost her husband - talk about in Doran where same actor plays king and Claudius, may explain why gertrude has an attraction to Claudius - An affair beforehand? Interpolated scene in Branagh with mom, king, and claudius playing game in hall way

" If I would time expend with such a snipe But for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor, And it is though abroad that 'twixt my sheets ' Has done my office. I know not if 't be true, But I, for mere suspicion in that kind, All do as if for surety..."

- Iago saying how he hates othello - calls him moor - compare films in reasons for Iago's dislike - othello sleeping with emilia? - O: open mentioning michael instead of Hugo or Oden getting more attention from Hugo's dad - Ben Jago not getting promotion over Othello, felt betrayed - or is in love with othello

some idea the "to be or not" to be speech suggests

- Is the ghost trustworthy? - Is hamlet willing to risk his own soul to get revenge? - sees mother's marriage as feminine weakness - When hamlet compares himself to actor and how an actor can simulate emotion without it even being real, but Hamlet has a motive and he can't seem to kill Claudius

"I wonder that thou, being, as thou says thou at, born under Saturn, goest about to apply a moral medicine to a mortifying mischief. I cannot hide what I am. I must be sad when I have cause, and smile at no man's jest; eat when I have stomach, and wait for no man's leisure; sleep when i am drowsy and tend on no man's business; laugh when I am merry, and claw no man in his humor..." "I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in his grace, and it better fits my blood to be disdained of all than fashion a carriage to rob love from any..." " I am trusted with a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog..."

- Much Ado - Don Jon - more humorous? - He is vice, causing trouble - He doesn't like Don Pedro

" it was my hint to speak- such was my process- And of the cannibals that each eat, The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads Do grow beneath their shoulders. These things to hear..." "That my you suffered. My story being done, She gave me for my pains a world of sighs. She swore, in faith, ;twas strange, 'twas passing strange..."

- Othello - Desdemona listening to how othello wooed her - through magic- separates himself from others

" Why, how now, ho! From whence ariseth this? Are we turned Turks, and to ourselves do that Which heaven hath forbid the Ottomites? For Christian shame, put by this barbarous brawl! He that stirs next to carve for his own rage..."

- Othello - making it clear that he isn't an "other" - he is a noble man - compare with O and how "other" is black culture or in Other film how other is being black - or in welles how its just someone in turban

" Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of york..." "I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, scent before my time..." "That dogs bark at me as I halt by them-..." "And descant on mine own deformity. And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover To entertain those fair well- spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain..."

- Richard III - This is his opening speech - Gives us the first hint of his deformities - Hints that because he is deformed, he has chosen to be evil - Later in the play, suggested that his deformity is a sign that he is evil- when he says " I love myself. Wherefore?... O no, alas, I rather hate myself." - discuss the depth of deformity in different films and reasons of evil - Mckellan- lack of attention from mother - Olivier only wore a clothes over his hand
