Junior Margaret Gates-George, who played Maiden Gita, also served as producer. Outstanding performances were given by Benjamin Ball as Hamlet, Ryan Mati as Horatio and Kevin Williams as Polonius. Kyle Hanton's and Michael McPherson's superb fight choreography and fencing were brilliantly executed by a cast that redefined fitness standards. Senior Sierra Cox obviously enjoyed playing the lusty Ophelia, leaping on Fortinbras and Hamlet, delighting in bending them to her will.ДЄfter her performance, Cox said, 'It's a blast to perform this hilarious spin on Shakespeare's classic, and it has received a good following from the midshipmen.' Osric's acquiescence to his own hanging relieves him from further pandering, and he finally speaks his mind. In the role of Osric, Mark Pfender proved an adroit comedian, capable of bringing the audience to hysterics by his sparkling presence, enhanced by the over-the-top attire that he makes part of his upward mobility. The story is incredibly fictitious, but the emotions are real and help me connect, which is a great skill for becoming an officer.' By the end, you kind of want him to come out as the winner.After the performance, DiDonato said he enjoyed 'living his character's emotions. At this point in the play, the reader pities Laertes for the loss of not only his father, but his sister as well. I like this quote because it shows that Laertes isnвЂ™t really the meek and quiet person that he seemed to be at the beginning of the play. In the end, nothing works out well for anybody. This quote marks an important part of the play because it leads Claudius to make the plan with him to kill Hamlet. Laertes acts on impulse, much like Fortinbras. He doesnвЂ™t care about anything but avenging his dead father (and later on, sister) and doing anything to get revenge on Hamlet. His anger and depression over the death of his father has lead him to act foolishly. вЂњ I dare damnation: to this point I stand, / That both the worlds I give to negligence, / Let come what comes only IвЂ™ll be revenged / Most thoroughly for my father.вЂќДЈ) We see a huge change in LaertesвЂ™s character compared to the one we knew in Act 1. If you only think about what you want instead of acting upon it, youвЂ™ll never get it. It seems that heвЂ™s going to be quick and steadfast in his actions, much like Fortinbras and Laertes. ItвЂ™s interesting that at this point, he resolves to think about nothing but blood. HeвЂ™s determined to think about nothing but getting his vengeance somehow. The statement is a contradiction at the same time, since itвЂ™s his thoughts that force him to cower from acting. Hamlet, at this point, realizes that he will get his revenge by murdering his uncle.

When he learns that Fortinbras has gathered an army to gain an unimportant, small piece of land, Hamlet feels ashamed that the Prince of Norway has taken such extreme actions for his own honour. вЂњO, from this ti me forth, / My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!вЂќДў) This is a turning point for Hamlet who, until this moment, hasnвЂ™t acted upon his goal to kill the King. He is never happy unless he is occupied with some campaign or the other. The young Prince of Norway is a man of action, and Hamlet is a scholar and philosopher. In the end of the play, itвЂ™s FortinbrasвЂ™s speedy actions as opposed to HamletвЂ™s continual thinking that allows him to get what he wants in the end without really having to do anything. Fortinbras is one of the three characters (the other two being Horatio and Laertes) who present a vivid contrast to Hamlet. His personality is opposite to HamletвЂ™s who thinks about what he wants to do too much, without ever getting to it.

Fortinbras is quick and takes action to get what he wants. The quote is significant because it gives the reader the first concept of someone seeking revenge in the play. In this quote, we learn that Fortinbras is a young, passionate man that will stop at nothing to get revenge on those who killed his father.

Fortinbras wants to avenge the death of his father by creating an army that could overrun that of the Danish. It discusses one of the major themes of the play (revenge) and it also presents a foil for Hamlet. So by his father lost.вЂќ -Horatio (Shakespeare I.i.95-104)ДЎ) The reader learns a lot about Young Fortinbras in this passage told by Horatio. That hath a stomach inвЂ™t: which is no other-ДЄnd terms compulsatory, those вЂforesaid lands Hath in the skirts of Norway, here and there
