7 Years of Bad Luck

Act III Scene iv

In this scene Hamlet is incriminating his mother of murdering his father and as he grabs her by the hair and screams in her hear there is a broken mirror in the background which caught my attention more than once (3:11-3:37). The mirror represents the broken relationship between Hamlet and his mother, Hamlet loosing his cool upon finding out and the effect the mother's crime had on her family and the kingdom. It reflects the whole scene in mismatched pieces and it is large and noticeable but at the same time shoved in the back of the room.
In the scene Hamlet is wearing a white shirt, which marks him as the "good" character in the scene, but at the same time and undone black bow-tie hangs, like his burdens, from his neck.
I also noticed the columns in the back that stand in a vertical pattern which indicates and active scene where something climatic is bound to happen... an indeed it does.
