I also liked Hamlet's monolog when he was confronting the queen. This monolog directly pointed out the queen's shameful actions. He told her to be ashamed about her marriage and that she is stupid. She cannot see what is going on when its so obvious. Hamlet also taught her reject sleeping with Claudius. If she say no the first time it would become easier. I believe that this connect with the real world. Not only in this situation, but if we know how to say no in certain situations, it becomes easier.

i think my favorite monologue was mine because even if i t was a dialogue which made it a bit more difficult to memorize, the actual message was pretty clear. when i read the modern version it sounded pretty similar to the old one so it wasn't that hard to understand. one more reason i liked it was because it showed emotion.

I liked the part where Hamlets tries to kill Claudius but eventually stopped by knowing about murdering is a sin. The reason why I liked the most is because this is the part where religion connects to the situation. Hamlet is afraid and does not want to have a sin that he can’t lose the enjoys or happiness he have at that time.

I like the monologue where Hamlet yells at Claudius when he finds out there is poison on the sword and the wine. I like the part because Hamlet finally gets revenge on Claudius by making him drink the poison wine as well. Also, it is the first time that Hamlet stops acting crazy and really expresses his anger properly.

"To be or not to be" it's my favorite monologue becuase for me it shows how determinated and confident Hamlet is about killing his uncle, it also shows that he's thinking in consequences of the revenge he's wonder if he's going to die or not or if he dies what is going to happen to him after life.

My monologue is my favorite monologue because it is the best one. My monologue portrays Hamlet's feeling toward his mother. He describes how he hates his mom because she slept with his uncle but also cares about her.

My favorite monologue was probably the one that Elijah composed to us for the beginning of the activity. His monologue, without doubt, is the most well known monologue in Shakespearean literature and probably has one of the deepest meanings behind it. To make long things short, the protagonist, Hamlet, seems to contemplate about whether or not he should avenge his father's death, and through a collection of colourful words, portrays his feelings.

My Favorite monologue was " O, this too too solid flesh would met..". It was the first and longest soliloquy. The monologue expresses Hamlet's dreadful situation, where his Dad is killed and his mother married to his uncle. It shows how painful to be in Hamlet's situation.

Mine's the one I presented to the class. It starts with ' O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven,' its in Act 3 Scene 3, where Claudius confesses his sins to God and asks him for forgiveness. I memorized it by heart and was one of the longest and best part of Hamlet. It was also interesting because these words bought him some time from Hamlet because he happened to be there and was about to murder him.

I like the part where hamlets talls to his mom and his even his mother was thinking that hamlet is crazy. It satrts of with ecstacy my puls as your, doth temperate keep mine... Hamlets tells his mother that he is not insane

My favorite monologue was the part where Ophelia is gone mad after hearing about her father's death and that Hamlet killed him. I think the monologue expresses her feelings very well. She talked about how Hamlet tricked her to lose her virginity by saying that he will marry her if she does it. But after she slept with him, he changed his words by saying that she was foolish for giving it so easily. This part made me feel a little angry towards Hamlet.

I liked my monologue, where Hamlet holds Yorick's skull and talks. It is easy to read and understand. Hamlet always talked about the spiritual side of death before, like what happens after death or whether suicide is moral. I liked that in here, he first notices the physical side of the death, the skull. He is shocked how his happy clown from his childhood turned into the scary skull. He is also shocked to see how the gravediggers are disrespectful and kicks the skulls around. Hamlet realizes that everyone is equal and powerless after death, whether he or she was wealthy or poor.

I really felt that Gertrudes monologue was interesting. I liked the monologue where she is talking to Hamlet about how he should stop talking ans yelling at her because its making her realize her guilt and wrong doings
i like this because i found it funny how their relationship at that moment felt like a father daughter relationship rather than a mother son relationship.

My favorite monologue was mine. Because this could've been the ending for Shakespeare. However, Shakespeare totally decides to not to end the story and stops Hamlet from killing Claudius. I like this because it really shows the teenager aspect of Hamlet, which I think that all of us can relate to. I like it also because of the suspense..He sets up the mood by making it the perfect scene for him to seize the opportunity, yet he gives up at the last moment.
