Essay Comparing Hamlet And Vertigo

Throughout the play, Hamlet and Ophelia have a very strong love connection. They loved each other and wanted to eventually get married. Hamlet and Ophelia hit some bumps in the road in their relationship but they always secretly wanted to be together. In Act 1, Scene 3, It was hard for Ophelia to comprehend when Polonius told her that he thought Hamlet's love for her wasn’t real, but she didn’t know what to believe. When Hamlet could no longer see Ophelia he began to get mad a frustrated, to add on also that he was going crazy over his own father's death.

And I want you to know that it is not your fault” (page 81 ). She wanted to reassure Christopher that he did nothing wrong to make her go away. This shows that she wanted him to still feel loved and cared for because she felt that she could not provide it herself. Ed and Judy might dislike eachother, but they both care and love Christopher

Once she was released, she quickly turned around to see who it was; none other than Gideon Grey. Pinning her against the pole, he stared intently with anger into Judy’s eyes, baring his sharp teeth. The two seemed at odds with

     Ophelia describes Hamlet as 'the courtier's soldier, scholar's eye, tongue and sword, Th'expectancy and rose of fair state, the glass of fashion and the mould of form, Th'observed of all observers (Act 3 Scene 1) He is the ideal man. But, after his madness and the death of her father she sees him as 'a noble mind o'er thrown!' (Act 3 Scene 1). Ophelia suffers from Hamlet's disillusionment; his attitude to her in Act 3 Scene 1 is hard to explain.  His faith in women was shattered by his mother's marriage and it is also possible that Hamlet knows that Ophelia has been ordered to seek him out- yet how strong could their love have been as there is little excuse for the

At the observatory, Jim is confronted by the gang of delinquent youth of which Judy is a member; the otherwise tense music is briefly interrupted here by a fragment of the love theme as he directs a question at her. In the following scenes depicting Jim’s conflicts with the gang, the love theme often appears when Judy enters the picture. You can hear this theme again when Jim calls her over to his car to give him some dirt to rub on his hands and again after Buzz’s death when the reach for each other’s hands. Later that night, the theme occurs when Jim attempts to call Judy and Jim and Judy’s later meeting is accompanied by a complete statement of the theme, and this scene breaks down the physical barriers between them as well, as they sit close together and he kisses her forehead. The theme is also noticeable in their romantic rendezvous in the abandoned house.

As the story grows deeper, Hamlet shows us that he really did love Ophelia when Hamlet tells Ophelia that “I did love you once” (3.1.131). Hamlet only confesses that he did indeed loved Ophelia, but only when it goes on to says that Hamlet never loved her (Habib, 23). On the

Considering what he was doing when she happened to see him lead her to become curious about what he was actually up to. After following and seeing his slick illegal actions she goes on to face him about it. Judy at this point is not only angry because she fell for Nicks perceived act of innocence, but that as a fox he turned out to be everything she thought he would be . She goes on to argue with him about what he is doing is illegal. He tells her that he has hustled Popsicle sticks since he was a young child and there is nothing she can do about it especially with no evidence. Also, mentioning that she is just a parking meter cop and a dumb

Both Hamlet and Ophelia are ultimately destroyed. Hamlet, whose quest was to prove the guilt of Claudius no matter what the consequences, is murdered by Laertes in a plot concocted by the king as he felt himself cornered. Ophelia drowns, perhaps willfully.

Hamlet appears to hate Ophelia by vituperating her and make her feel unloved, but in reality loves her. Hamlet says to Ophelia, "If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry:/ Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape/ Calumny. Get thee to a

Hamlet confirmed that he did love Ophelia when he told her to go to a nunnery. Although it is a harsh statement, he tried to throw everyone else off so he had to make it seem like he never loved her. Throughout his letter he mentioned that everything else around her may not be true but his love is real. Hamlet explained that Ophelia was too naive and if Polonius read the letters, he had to act mad to protect her. Near the end of the session, Hamlet described the scene in the graveyard and how he still proved his love for Ophelia. His behaviour changed from extremely upset to more relaxed and reasoned.

Later in the movie, it is revealed that Judy actually is Madeleine, and she faked her own death. If I had a problem with Vertigo, it would be that this is revealed too soon. Judy barely has any screen time before this revelation, making it rather unsurprising as we are not quite attached to her character. But while I decided to put this minor detail aside, someone else felt compelled to make an entire movie dragging this portion of

Ophelia later relays this meeting to her father, telling him that Hamlet was not properly dressed, "and with a look so piteous in purport as if he had been loosed out of hell to speak of horrors-he comes before me." (2.1.82-84). This scene is directly after Hamlet learns of his father's murder. It seems that Hamlet is looking to Ophelia for help, his feelings were crushed and he needed consolation. I extract the estimation that prince Hamlet adores Ophelia, and that she is one the few loved ones he has left to turn to. I am sure he loves his family, but his father is dead, his mother is unconcerned with his father's death and his uncle is the murderer of his father.

In the beginning, of the story Hamlet makes Ophelia believe that she is the main reason for his insanity. Instead of Hamlet showing love or an emotional connection towards Ophelia, Hamlet treats Ophelia as a sexual object. We can see this clearly in the text, “ That’s a fair thought to lie between a maiden legs.” (Shakespeare 3.2.3) This shows how Hamlet sees Ophelia as a sexual object. He would rather engage in intimacy with Ophelia instead of getting to know her on a personal level. This also leads to another character in a story who treats Ophelia as an object rather than family.

In my opinion, if hamlet really loved Ophelia, he would have respected her wishes that the two of them would separate since the greatest act of giving to her would have been leaving her alone. Due to her father’s request that she not “slander any moment’s leisure as to give words or talk with the lord Hamlet” (Act 1 scene 3 lines 133-134) Hamlets constant stalking of Ophelia is indicative of the fact that Hamlets affection for her is bases on satisfying his own emotional needs, rather than true loves. As well, as the play progressed, it becomes even more obvious as told in his soliloquies, and the ways he treats herm that Hamlet’s intent is, and was to use Ophelia for only his own ends.

His inconsistent treating of Ophelia eventually drives her to insanity. The actual recognition of his love for Ophelia can only come when Hamlet realizes that she is dead, and free from her tainted womanly trappings “I lov’d Ophelia”. This is without doubt one of the most villainous qualities of Hamlet.
