QUESTION 4: DRAMA ANALYSIS

Hamlet
By William Shakespear
Read the extract below and answer the questions that follow.

Act I, scene i

On a dark winter night outside Elsinore Castle in Denmark, an officer named

Bernardo comes to relieve the watchman Francisco. In the heavy darkness, the men
cannot see each other. Bernardo hears a footstep near him and cries, "Who's
there?" After both men ensure that the other is also a watchman, they relax. Cold,
tired, and apprehensive from his many hours of guarding the castle, Francisco
thanks Bernardo and prepares to go home and go to bed.

Shortly thereafter, Bernardo is joined by Marcellus, another watchman, and Horatio,

a friend of Prince Hamlet. Bernardo and Marcellus have urged Horatio to stand
watch with them, because they believe they have something shocking to show him.
In hushed tones, they discuss the apparition they have seen for the past two nights,
and which they now hope to show Horatio: the ghost of the recently deceased King
Hamlet, which they claim has appeared before them on the castle ramparts in the
late hours of the night.

Horatio is skeptical, but the ghost suddenly appears before the men and just as
suddenly vanishes. Terrified, Horatio acknowledges that the specter does indeed
resemble the dead King of Denmark, that it even wears the armor King Hamlet wore
when he battled against the armies of Norway, and the same frown he wore when he
fought against the Poles. Horatio declares that the ghost must bring warning of
impending misfortune for Denmark, perhaps in the form of a military attack. He
recounts the story of King Hamlet's conquest of certain lands once belonging to
Norway, saying that Fortinbras, the young Prince of Norway, now seeks to reconquer
those forfeited lands.

The ghost materializes for a second time, and Horatio tries to speak to it. The ghost
remains silent, however, and disappears again just as the cock crows at the first hint
of dawn. Horatio suggests that they tell Prince Hamlet, the dead king's son, about
the apparition. He believes that though the ghost did not speak to him, if it is really
the ghost of King Hamlet, it will not refuse to speak to his beloved son.

Lucky Mosa Khuzwayo

Lucky Mosa Khuzwayo was born in 1988 and earned a B.Tech in Fine and Applied
Arts in 2010. Currently, he is studying for a Master of Science degree in Visual Arts.
He has participated in leading art exhibitions,
including the PPC-YCSA (2010), Absa L'artelier
(2011), and Arts Alive (2009-2012). He has spent
his primary art time in various community projects
for art engagement in and around the capital of the
Tshwane Metro. In his works, he deals with social
issues within the context of liminal spaces, such as
decay.
Objects are used as a metaphor to symbolize the
body as a central connection between heaven and
earth. In this regard, the subject is objectified using
ordinary objects that are used or neglected in our everyday life. "The main aspects
that interest me are water, nature, poverty, disability and identity, thereby
encouraging unity or division within society. Actually, my intention is to question,
destroy and dismantle reality."
"Having mastered the skill of implementing cement/concrete and found objects, I
actually make use of concrete, clay, found objects, steel and wood in combination as
a body and symbol of transition decay. Objects and absences in space generate the
absence in the present times, due to the reformulation of the Past, Present, and the
Future as one thing. I use blight to represent decay/death as a symbol of the past,
and the present or the future as a threat to a new generation to come."
