Inspiration from text:
ReplyDelete“It beckons you to go away with it, as if it some impartment did desire to you alone.” (Act I, Scene iv, 61-63)
In this quote, Horatio is telling Hamlet that the ghost is gesturing him and calling Hamlet to follow him. Here, the ghost is beckoning (calling) Hamlet to follow him into the night. But Horatio and Marcellus tell Hamlet no to follow the ghost because he could be harmed by it.
“My fate cries out, and makes each petty artery in this body as hardy as the Nemean lion’s nerve…” (Act 1, Scene iv, 90-94)
In these lines, Hamlet is speaking. Here Hamlet is unsure if the ghost is his father or if it is just an evil spirit. Moreover, Hamlet knows and says that the ghost cannot harm him. Both Horatio and Marcellus are scared so they follow to protect Hamlet.
Explanation:
The work that I did was part of act one, scene four of the play. I drew a ghost, Hamlet, and Horatio in the corner of the portrait. This art work helped me to understand the surprising encounter that Hamlet has with the ghost; Hamlet is unsure if the ghost is an evil demon or if it is really his dead father’s spirit. As you can see, Horatio and Hamlet are surprised when the ghost appears during the night. The viewers can notice that Horatio is next to hamlet in order to protect him from the ghost. Also they can notice how Hamlet is wearing black (I painted his gown/clothes in black, in order to represent that he is still in sorrow and that he mourns his father’s death).
I had forgotten to draw Marcellus, since he does come out in this scene. But I noticed after I was done painting and there was no more space for me to draw Marcellus in the little circle that I drew the scene in.
Overall, I enjoyed drawing this little portrait (part) of the ghost scene. I looked more in depth to the scene as I was painting and it helped me understand Hamlet’s way of thinking and why his actions are the way they are towards the rest of the play.
I worked with my classmate Aranzazu Peña. She drew some other drawings on the portrait. I'm just explaining what I drew. :)
