Act III.iii Period 7

Claudius does not appear to be remorseful until after the play has been presented. Do you think that he is genuinely upset over the murder he committed? Or do you think that his prayer and sorrow is circumstantial? Explain your answer.

  1. I do not think that he his feeling guilty. I think that he knows that he is in trouble and that hamlet will not kill him if he is praying

  2. I don't think that Claudius is not remorseful about the death of his brother at all. He only wanted to become King, and that's all he truly cares about.

  3. It think he's only doing it so he looks like he's upset about it.

  4. I believe that Claudius is very overwhelmed by what he did, and is feeling very upset. I believe that he prayed because he feels very sad, and knows he wont be forgiven, but praying is the only thing he can turn to. -Dylan Clark

  5. I don't think he feels guilty at all because he wanted to become king and he knew what he had to do in order to become king.

  6. I think at first when he killed King Hamlet he wasn't upset because he wanted to be King. I think now that he thought about what he did and saw the play he is upset. He didn't pray so i don't think that he is as sorry as he could be.

  7. I think he is not remorseful for the murder he committed because it took so long for him to actually start feeling bad. Also he couldn't bring himself to pray about what he did so I think his sorrow is circumstantial.

  8. I think he knew hamlet was there when he was praying so he acted as if he was remorseful even though he really doesn't care.

  9. I think that it's circumstantial because he wanted to be king so he didn't feel bad. Now that he knows he's been caught, now he feels bad.
