analysis for: Gertrude, A5S2: "the drink! The drink! I am
poisoned" - ANSWER -

play) to kill


Dr Hannah Lavery: "In Hamlet, the figure of an ageing,
sexual female
monarch... - ANSWER -...appears as a troubling figure for the
central character"


analysis for: Dr Hannah Lavery: "In Hamlet, the figure of an
ageing, sexual female monarch appears as a troubling figure
for the central character" - ANSWER -Tie in to modern
psychoanalytical readings of the text - Hamlet's oedipal
complex (by the 20th century, directors would focus on the
supposed 'intimacy' of the closet scene, most evident in

,Laurence Olivier's staging of a kiss between the two
characters)
Hamlet is both obsessed with and afraid of his mother's
sexuality, linked to the
broader view of women in the
period


Dr Hannah Lavery: "Gertrude's position both as a mother,
sexual woman, and political figure makes her a troubling,
silenced figure within the play" - ANSWER -She is a
representation of the blurred lines between the domestic and
the political spheres, areas of society that were both threatened
during the
Elizabethan period
Gertrude is a representation of the paradoxes for the
expectations of women, the virgin and the *****


Marguerite Tassi: "In fulfilling her tragic role, the end crowns
all; in the final moments of her life, she performs an
extraordinary act... - ANSWER -...that gives Hamlet motive and
cue for killing the King"


Marguerite Tassi: "In fulfilling her tragic role, the end crowns
all; in the final moments of her life, she performs an
extraordinary act that gives Hamlet motive and cue for killing
the King" - ANSWER -Gertrude becomes the collateral damage
for the revenge genre
One of the least developed characters of the play - mainly
serves as a plot piece/pawn for the other characters

, For modern audiences, her underdevelopment serves to
highlight the oppressive Elizabethan society


Polonius, A3S1: "Ophelia... - ANSWER -...walk you here" "read
on this book"


analysis for: Polonius, A3S1: "Ophelia walk you here" "read on
this book" - ANSWER -The imperatives mean that Polonius acts
as the director onstage in this moment, we see how Ophelia is a
prop in this moment (indicative of the wider treatment of
women in theatre and in society)
Ophelia is thus not involved in the scheming, and is thus not
morally 'grey' like the male characters and Gertrude, makes her
death and madness even more tragic


Hamlet, A3S1: "Get thee... - ANSWER -...to a nunnery"


analysis for: Hamlet, A3S1: "Get thee to a nunnery" - ANSWER -
Imperatives are similarly used to control and order Ophelia
about (wider treatment of women as subordinates)
Hamlet directs his misogyny towards Ophelia
Ambivalence for women in society (either the virgin or the
*****), as 'nunnery' also meant brothel (shows how meaning
is fluid and can be abused) Ophelia tells Hamlet later in the
scene that "I was the more deceived", heightening the
tragedy of his treatment of her


Priest, A5S1: "she should in ground unsanctified... - ANSWER
-...have lodged
