- Hamlet mistakenly kills Polonius- thinking it was Claudius from behind
- Hamlet looses control after killing Polonius- part from shock/disappointment
- #QueenGertrudeSays: "The lady protests too much me thinks."
- Shakespearean Sex Talk → tension-breaker (Shakespeare is essentially the inventor of the tension-breaker)
- Play within Hamlet → "Mousetrap"
- Horatio admitted that he believes Claudius is responsible for King Hamlet's death
- Polonius is a person word → All talk!
- Claudius is a person of action → All do!
- Performance of utterance has effect of speech
↳ Hamlet is self-discovering (insightful)
- Hamlet is honest to his mother, being straight-up/acting upon feelings
- Create expectations through words
↳ Speech as trans-formative action
- locutionary - the ability of language to deliver a message, the force of mutual intelligibility
- illocutionary - what is done in being said, such as denying a request, giving an order, etc
- perlocutiinary - what is achieved by being said, the consequences of one's utterance, such as an order being followed (or refused)
- Hamlet ain't playing no mo'! #from0to100realquick He's spewing out the truth to his mother. Queen Gertrude. Unbottling all his complex and intense emotions towards his fathers death + Claudius
- "Those who use performative utterance create new facts in the world of speaking."
