Hamlet+3.1-3.2

"You do surely bar the door upon your own liberty if you deny your griefs to your friend" (3.2.366-367) I found this quote interesting because his so called friend shad to be paid to come and check in with him. Why would he tell people his secrets if they don't care enough about him to see if he is sane without being compensated. I understand wanting to help him and be there for Hamlet, but I do not approve of these men methods of helping their friend or being there for him, because they are not even really there for him!

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" (3.2.254) This quote i recognized, possibly from outside and the world, but I found it interesting that the Queen would say this about the character that was supposed to be representing her own person. She claims that this woman who is alledgedly herself is protesting too much. She is complaining too much about what she has done, what she should do, who she should marry. This leads the reader to believe that the real queen does not care. She is not fazed by the actions of hte play, nor the actions she has committed herself. The Queen seems to say that the play queen cares too much about what she has done and that it is not a big deal and that she is putting too much emphasis on it.

"A second time I kill my husband dead/ When second husband kisses me in bed" (3.2.208-209) This quote shows the reader how Hamlet believes the queen should be feeling. This quote shows how most people would feel if they were married to their husbands brother. It is a very strange relationship and many would find this statement to reflect her feelings. Her sadness over loss, her fear over her decision, the strangeness of her relationship, and all the mixed feelings she would be feeling. This statement makes sense for any character to say, however, the Queen may not feel this way. She has never said anything about the real queens feelings. The actual queen should be feeling these things, but it is only the play queen that has shared these feelings.
