- These characters would be post-it-notes because they are used by Claudias to spy on Hamlet and see what is causing him to be crazy. They are like notes because a somethings can be written down on them for someone to read, and they report back to Claudias with information about Hamlet.
But we both obey,
And here give up ourselves, in the full bent
To lay our service freely at your feet,
To be commanded.
Loyal to the king and queen willing to spy on hamlet and report back to them.
Hamlet
- Hamlet would be scissors because scissors can be used to cut apart and destroy somethings, and Hamlet hurts many people around him. Scissors are sharp and can cause harm, and Hamlet causes harm to Ophelia, and kills Polonius.
"Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a
breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest;
but yet I could accuse me of such things that it
were better my mother had not borne me: I am very
proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at
my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,
imagination to give them shape, or time to act them
in. What should such fellows as I do crawling
between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves,
all; believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery."
He offends Ophelia which causes her to begin to go crazy.
Ophelia
- She would be a paper clip because a paperclip can be used to hold things together but can also be bent out of shape. Ophelia held on to sanity as long as she could just like a paper clip can hold papers together until there are too many and they don't fit into the clip. Ophelia was also changed just like a paper clip can be bent out of shape. She went from being an innocent girl to a crazy girl, which led to her killing herself.
"I shall obey my Lord"- being respectful and innocent
"Divided from herself and her fair judgment,
Without the which we are pictures, or mere beasts" - goes crazy
