Hamlet's soliloquies comprise an important portion of the reading. Discuss why they are important and what function they serve, based on your readings so far.
I think that it helps us understand what he is thinking. He can share his thoughts about love revenge and everything else without having to say it in front of the other characters.

Ophelia's Flowers
Rosemary--remembrance, to Laertes
Pansies--thoughts, also to Laertes
Fennel--flattery, to King Columbines--thankfulness, to Queen
Rue--sorrow, also to Queen
Daisy--a warning to women who are too easily persuaded to love, to Gertrude
Violets--faithfulness, cannot give--explanation toward Horatio
Machiavellianism
Look up the term and discuss how it relates to the play.
The political doctrine of Machiavelli, which denies the relevance of morality in political affairs and holds that craft and deceit are justified in pursuing and maintaining political power.
this relates in the play because Claudius kills his own brother so he could be king.
