“I must be cruel only to be kind” | Hamlet to Gertrude when he is telling her not to sleep with Claudius that night |
Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. | Ophelia to Hamlet when Ophelia tells hamlet she was been waiting to return his generosity but he denies it ever happening |
For some must watch while some must sleep, so runs the world away | Hamlet to horatio after Claudius calls for lights and exits the play in anger |
“For use almost can change the stamp of nature.” | Hamlet to Gertrude when he is telling her not to sleep with Claudius |
Thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought | Hamlet to Hamlet in a soliloquy when he is contemplating suicide |
