Hello tout le monde! Je dois faire une analyse de passage sur le roman d'Hamlet de Shakespeare.
Le passage concerné est la fin de l'acte V.
Voici mon introduction et mon plan, qu'en pensez-vous?
The scene I will present correspond to the one after the scene between Hamlet and the gravedigger, while they are talking of death, and more precisely of Ophelia's. Hamlet and Horatio arrive, and Hamlet meditates on death’s leveling of the wealthy and ambitious. He talks with the Grave-digger who displays a skull that had belonged to Yorick, a court jester whom Hamlet had known. The prince reflects on the inevitability of death. A procession interrupts Hamlet’s reveries – Claudius, Gertrude, and Laertes march toward the grave along with a priest and an entourage bearing a body. Hamlet notices that the burial is less elaborate than usual, signifying that the deceased was a suicide. He and Horatio stand aside while Laertes argues with the priest about the paltriness of the burial rites. In the course of his arguing with the priest, Laertes reveals to Hamlet that the dead body is that of Ophelia.
The question this passage raises us is how does obseques through the unfair choice of the priest and an altercation between Laertes and Hamlet prove the truly love that he felt for her ?
We'll talk about the burial of Ophelia,with a normal development but single frame then of the diverse perception of the relationship with Ophelia and finally, to the declaration of love made by Hamlet after an altercation with Laertes.
I/ First, we can notice that the burial of Ophelia seems to be as normal as any other for the gravediggers.(notes).
Then, we can clearly percieve here a voluntee of respect very present in the scene too.
The burial as an example of Christian rites.
II/Now we can talk about the perception and the relationship with Ophelia that the characters had with her.
The other aspect that we could notice is the strong love of Laertes for her sister.
III/ Finally, we can notice that there is an apparent altercation which leads and shows finally a union facing Ophelia' death.
The second point is that Hamelet it is only after Ophelia's death that Hamlet declares his love for her.
---> We have seen that Ophelia's burial led to many different reactions. We draw a portrait of a quite naive but really kind and true person. She was also influenced by Hamlet and deeply love by his family. However, the gravediggers did'nt want to do normal obseques because of the fact it seems to be a suicide. A deeply respect tinted by melancholia, regrets leading to a fight is also reveal. It's her death that allows Hamlet to realize how much he loves her. We finally have the main elements characteristics to the way of writing of Shakespeare in this extract, with the notions of death, corruption, but also of fight for love, ambiguity and doubleness.
