Page 832, #9

The soliloquy that reaches out to me the most is "too too solid flesh". What really stands out about this soliloquy is the dramatic, angry tone that Hamlet carries out throughout the soliloquy, and how that tone miraculously disappears after he hears the crack of the door open. Moreover, his language is very repetitive throughout the soliloquy, implying that he is unable to let go of the past. His language also expresses an anger towards all other people in his life, and a possible urge to be dead. Thus, in this soliloquy, Hamlet feels his meaning and purpose in the world is completely and utterly worthless.
