Hamlet Quote

A quote that I think represents Hamlet well is the one he makes right after he has discovered his father had been murdered by his uncle.

"Rest, rest, perturbèd spirit!—So, gentlemen,
With all my love I do commend me to you,
And what so poor a man as Hamlet is
May do, to express his love and friending to you,
God willing, shall not lack. Let us go in together,
And still your fingers on your lips, I pray.
The time is out of joint. O cursèd spite,
That ever I was born to set it right!
Nay, come, let’s go together."

This quote starts off the impression the audience gets from Hamlet perfectly. The entire story is based upon lies, deceit, and betrayal and that's exactly what this quote shows. Hamlet has just met his dead father's ghost and figures out the lie his uncle has had about his brothers death. It starts the story off with secrecy and mystery as well. It also shows the reason Hamlet becomes so mad throughout the story. His thirst for revenge drives him to death.
