- sounds very familiar to the way we've been talking about Hamlet in class
- first paragraph is brilliant; I wish I had such sophisticated vocabulary, syntax,and diction
- performative language acts has the power to change
- locutionary=message
- illocutinary=what's done in being sid
- perlocutionary=achieved
- characters realize what they say and do and realize themselves through this
- how only words affect Hamlet and make him sad and guilty
- what words used,their authenticity, context used in, matter
- he tells the players to basically not "out Hamlet, Hamlet"
- performative utterance = say it but not mean it
- Polonius is a narrowminded, pre-man
- Hamlet is a character who possesses so much
- he can "construct himself"
- Claudius is in between Polonius and Hamlet
- In the end, Hamlet had to achieve faith, closure, and acceptance not take action
- After the first paragraph I realized that I'm not fluent in reading to this caliber and had a rough time understanding many parts
In Class Discussion
- what is said creates things, reality
- Hamlet- self-overhearing
- expectation created by ghost- locutionary
- perlocutionary- effect of forces
- self fulfilling prophesy? Builds on how he's not sure about killing gets worse, feeling
- he goes from "it sucks" to "i sick"
- performative utterance about others, too
- ***if words are just words, why do they matter????
- words are more
- the ones to prove ^
- polonius- words, claudius- action
- motivated by passion
- selfish- claudius situational irony and sees that king's answer isn't be answer hamlet doesnt kill
- Hamlet actually loses his temper to gertrude
- compare/contrast to other times he didnt get mad
- sits and thinks-that's her punishment
- Hamlet's a threat
- Claudius goes from confident to guilty
- Hamlet from tortured and awful to more attitude, knowing, cocky
- chorus in play- stand to sing explanations
- good resource in a play
- polonius and hamlet are kind of foils
- Hamlet gets mad because
- rush of killing, knowing he's right, confronting gertrude
- hold up a mirror "you go not till i set you up in a glass" to see her soul
- her panic started it all
- verbal daggers to gertrude
- hearing ourselves say something
- transforms words into actions (hamlet)
- lets out more words (polonius) as he dies, true to character
- hamlet has more integrity
- he's ready to kill Claudius
- the murder was a catalyst- "self overhearing"
- ghost still wants hamelt to have a realtionship with his mom
- hamlet tells gertrude not to tell Claudius
