 If I can chose a scene from Hamlet to describe, it would be the fencing scene. I chose this scene because it was a action scene and it made the movie more interesting. In this scene Hamlet gets challenged to a dual and his opponent is a very good fencer and keeps Hamlet guessing during the fight. The scene starts off as a very important event, you know this Because the King and Queen are there. Meaning it must show importance. Also everyone is dress very sharp, the men all are wearing tuxes and the Woman have there hair all done and very nice jewelry and pretty dresses. Also they are serving what looks like Champagne of that era. Any way after they first fight everyone watches including Hamlet. Then he gets challenged. And they fight Hamlet wins but he gets very lucky. He then gets challenged to a rematch but this time they decide to fight without anyone protection, it means a lot two these two if they are choosing to get get rid of there armour because they will get seriously hurt because they way to win is by hitting your opponent in the chest. So one may die. The fight escalate and they take it upstairs. They leave the red carpet. Hamlet goes over board and mid fight pushes his opponent off of the balcony and he gets very hurt. This shows how Hamlet has zero mercy and has anger issues. You can tell he has these characteristics because there are multiple clues that point to them one of the is Hamlet knew that he was in a dangerous spot and he knew the lay out because he has grown up in the castle, so he chose to take it to the next level by putting his opponent in a spot were he could be in danger area and then Hamlet through he off. After he did it for like 15 seconds he was still angry and he looked crazy but after those 15 ish seconds were up he reflected on what he has just done and looks heart broken like he didn't want to do it but he didn't have a choice because  he is the prince and they never lose they are winners so he just had to do what he had to do to win, even though he cheated really bad by killing his opponent but when he was in the moment he didn't think anything of it.  The second clue was after the first dual was over and Hamlet just nearly got away with the win he didn't think that the win was good enough for a prince. Since he is this royal figure everyone at the party thinks he should be the best since as soon as he was born he gets what ever he wants. And since it wasn't the best and the people deserve better.  So this is why I chose to describe the fencing scene because it was very interesting, and had great action.
