Baiting in Hamlet

Baiting is used several times through out the play. In the instance where Polonius is spying on Hamlet and his mother... well, that didn't turn out well cause Polonius was killed. And when polonius sent Reynaldo to spy on his son... well, there were no results there. and when Hamlet Baited Claudius that didn't turn out well cause then Hamlet died, killed in a round about way by Claudius who he had baited in the first place... so overall i dont think baiting worked out very well in the play, cause it either has no results or bad ones, as in someone dies. :)

Answer to Bri's Hamlet question

I'm answering these two questions posed by http://briscshamlet.blogspot.com/. She wrote "My first question is Does King Claudius think that Hamlet is on to him? Cause as soon as the play ends he wants Hamlet taken away to England. The second question is why didn't Hamlet just kill his uncle?"

so, i think that Claudius may believe that it is impossible for someone to know that he killed the king. I think that Claudius thinks Hamlet is just crazy and that in his insanity he may cause Claudius to reveal that he killed the king. Therefore, in order to prevent any more issues he wants to send him away and let the issue "die" away so to speak, ha-ha.

I don't think Hamlet knew who was behind the curtain, and he hoped it would be Claudius. If it was Claudius then he would have killed him, just gotten it over with, since he'd been having trouble with that. Also, if it wasn't Claudius then i guess he didn't really think about it and assumed it was a spy or something.

Hamlet: world views

so, i think hamlet is of course under pressure to become king, considering he is a prince and all. Not only that but he is being forced to inherit a kingdom full of drunkards as he views it. he also thinks all women are weak. Also he is under pressure from what he thinks is his real father, to avenge his death, so he has taken to going crazy and killing people.
