== I Could Be Bounded in a Nutshell == CLAUDIUS<br/> ''Something have you heard'' ''Of '''Hamlet's transformation'''; so call it,'' ''Sith nor the exterior nor the inward man'' ''Resembles that it was.'' Before we investigate the cause of "''Hamlet's'' ''transformation''," let's delve into what Hamlet's "''inner man''" was before he was tranformed. HAMLET<br/> ''I have of late--but'' ''wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth'' But before he lost all his mirth he viewed the world thusly: "''this goodly frame, the earth...this most'' ''excellent canopy, the air, look you, this'' ''brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical'' ''roof fretted with golden fire...What a piece'' ''of work is a man! how noble in reason! how'' ''infinite in faculty! in form and moving how'' ''express and admirable! in action how like an''angel! ''in apprehension how like a god! the'' ''beauty of the world! the paragon of animals''!" "''he that made us with such large discourse'', ''Looking before and after, gave us not'' ''That capability and god-like reason'' ''To fust in us unused''" "''for there is nothing either good or bad,'' ''but thinking makes it so''" [I believe Shakespeare made this line deliberately ambiguous. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would interpret it as moral relativism. But Hamlet, deep down, was saying that morality should be based on rational thought, rather than tradition or passion.] "''I could be bounded in a nut shell and count'' ''myself a king of infinite space''" HAMLET (to Horatio):<br/> ".''..thee''.. ''That no revenue hast but thy good spirits,'' .... ''Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice'' ''And could of men distinguish, her election'' ''Hath seal'd thee for herself; for thou hast been'' ''As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing,'' ''A man that fortune's buffets and rewards'' ''Hast ta'en with equal thanks: and blest are those'' ''Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled,'' ''That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger'' ''To sound what stop she please. Give me that man'' ''That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him'' ''In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,'' ''As I do thee''." Notice that Hamlet had no praise for his father except that he was like Hyperion, the sun god, (but "''the sun breeds maggots''") and he was "''loving'' ''to my mother''" (that "''imperial jointress to'' ''this warlike state''," a "''breeder of sinners''" who helped him breed more maggots in his lineage of war-mongering kings). When he wasn't "''from himself taken away''," Hamlet's role model, in his "''heart's core''" was Horatio, who has "''no revenue..but [his] good spirits''." Hamlet said of Osric, "''tis a vice to know him''." Shortly afterward he said, "''to know a man well'', ''were to know himself''." So Hamlet believed that to know Osric was to be like him, and it was a vice to know Osric, therefore it was a vice to be like him. (Hamlet did know Osric, and was therefore like him, but only to the extent that he was still under the influence of his father). So what was Osric like? ''He hath much land, and fertile'' [fertile land - the womb of earth - the graveyard - "''tomb enough and continent To hide the slain''"] ... ''spacious in the possession of dirt''. HAMLET (commenting on a grave) ''The very conveyances of his lands will hardly lie in'' ''this box; and must the inheritor himself have no more, ha?'' Hamlet was born on the day his father won land (of which Hamlet was the inheritor) by killing King Fortinbras. On the same day, King Hamlet hired a gravedigger. ''O cursed spite,'' ''That ever I was born to set it right!'' Hamlet, when he was not "''from himself taken'' ''away''," was the scholar who only wanted to return to school in Wittenberg. He was a man who loved the world but felt no need to possess it. This was a man who exalted humanity and reason, who would not sacrifice human lives and his own soul to acquire a killing ground.
