I must say, Hamlet does seem terribly disheartened in his first soliloquy? soliligllisfdefquy? yeah the second's one probably right. The poor lad is afflicted in some way, calling his flesh 'sallied' and wanting it to 'melt'. He wants his body to melt? Now that doesn't sound like an everyday thing to say. Y'alright? Yeah, not too bad, would quite like my body to melt though. Doesn't sound like generic pleasant chit chat. Hamlet shows his witty/intelligent/downright clevaa side when he does a play on words, 'a dew' sound like adieu, as in, he wants to die. GET IT GET IT. To be honest I didn't get it first time but that's okay because, well, it's just okay. I enjoy how Hamlet makes a dig at Claudius, well he doesn't exactly make a dig but he says 'that the Everlasting had not fixed his canon', this shows that Hamlet luurves God which makes Claudius seem even worse for accusing Hamlet of being ungodly for mourning his father.
Let's be honest now, Hamlet isn't in the cheeriest of moods in this SOLILOQUY? He calls the world 'an unweeded garden' and 'rank', not sure God would be too impressed with him dissing his ultimately amazing creation. Anywaaaay, this shows Hammy doesn't like this world and thinks it's a horrible place, quite sad actually, brings a tear to my eye. Hamlet is torn between loving his mother and being angry with her for marrying his evil kanevil? uncle. He first rants about her.. 'A little month, or e'er those shoes were old' and 'O most wicked speed!' but then concludes that 'break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue' what a lovely lad, holding back his feelings for his ma, aaaaaaaw!
