Class notes of the utterance

- discussed the topic of how Polonius and hamlet are two different sides of people and Claudius is in the middle.
- was Claudius actually guilty in praying and wouldn't have been saved? 
- could hamlet have killed Claudius then and Claudius not go to heaven, or was this an act of nobility and not killing Claudius when he was down on his knees.
- hamlet didn't want to seem cowardly for doing that to Claudius when Claudius did that to his father by pouring poison in his ear while he was asleep.
-talked about Shakespeare and what kind of person he was, goes into the forms in which he wanted to show to his audiences. 
- what kind of characteristics hamlet has in the story, why Shakespeare tries to change the audiences perspective.
-Shakespeare's characters would not be as complex if he did not use this method.
-talk about the play in parts, an important utterance is how he play is being unfolded.
- he just wants to be happy Claudius and is only praying because of this 
- moral is that acts come back and they keep getting worse and worse.
-you are as good as a chous 
- they foil Polonius and hamlet are people of words they are close foils. 
- see herself for what she really is 
-No guilt from killing Polonius 
-death bring out the true colors of people
