[edit] About Making Notations

When you find something notable in the text (a Middle English word that needs defining, a sentence that needs paraphrasing, etc), simply scan the existing notations until you find one that most close matches the selection you want to note. Sometimes it will be a word definition within a phrase that needs clarifying, othertimes it will be a lengthy but incomprehensible (to modern ears) speech. When you have found a close approximation (there is a also an illustrative list on the Shakespeare Concordances page, with in-depth explanations), just "plug it in" by copy-pasting the example to the number of your note, and then after inserting the cursor at the proper points, type in your replacement text. Delete the letters and words that remain from the example, and you will have a definition, paraphrase, etc, consistently formatted with work done before you. After doing this a couple of times, you will "pick up" the system, and use it as easily as you might use any formatting rules.


After making your annotation alongside the proper number, click on your back button to return to the page and point where you were reading. If you have no back button displayed, go to the top of the page, and choose the proper selection of text from the text and concordance table


Building a great concordance is as easy as reading a and then writing down the definitions of unknown words, paraphrases and other illuminating material in the corresponding note place. In the case of EC formatted text, the annotations are made on a web e-note page. To make this process collective, EC text has been joined with a program containing an oneditor and uploader, namely the Wikipedia engine. Of course, Wiki-based sites offer other advantages, as well, such as relative immunity to vandalism.

Good luck! And remember, you are working on the world's first and only collective concordance!

edified by the margent - Horatio, the scholar quips that Hamlet is looking to the margin of the work for explanatory notes, more common in his day than now, when footnotes are the rule.

hangers - ordinary wagons were set upon blocks and axles, and hangers were used for the better kinds of carriages. However here the word may mean that upon the carriages depends the bet, and it would be off if these were not included. Hamlet then quips that firearms (cannon) hung at their sides would be more appropriate in the situtation. Then using the word in a third or fourth sense, which is as in "hang it up," he states that until he is armed with shot and powder, he would rather the whole thing be called off.

This line could mean that a "no" answer by Hamlet would expose him to trial for having manslaughtered Lord Polonius. A second meaning would be in the way of saying it was a test of honor.

Shakespeare refers to two peculiarities of this bird; (1) to allure persons from its nest, it flies away and cries loudest when farthest from its nest; and (2) the young birds run from their shells with part there of still sticking to their head. - Brewer's

His intent is to show the haste and invidiousness with which the invitation to joust is given by Osric.

10057

The meaning here is similar to the "No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp," speech. Osric is sucking nourishment by agreement. He has complied with an order or rather agreed to collude in a scheme before taking his reward.

Hamlet demonstrates the same attitude with regard to the inevitability and imminence of his death, that motivated him not to slay his uncle when he had the chance.

Readiness in the eyes of God is everything where death is concerned, and death, itself, is provident or fortunate. This kind of thinking is in keeping with the "Vale of Tears" belief that was common in the Dark and Middle Ages. Life was a nearly intolerable hardship, and best ended sooner, than later.

Perhaps this is the only way to get around the auguries, those omens and people who tell the future, often with uncanny accuracy, as has Horatio in the lines preceding.

I don't think Horatio's line "forms up the main theme", though I think it does play a part in in a religion motif. Harold Jenkins in the Arden Hamlet, 2nd edition sees a connection with the funeral mass. On that point, there is a similarity with the response (antiphon) as the funeral procession leaves the church for the graveyard in the catholic funeral mass.

In paradisum deducant te angeli In tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres Et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem

Chorus angelorum te suscipiat et Cum Lazaro quondam paupere Aeternam habeas requiem

which translated means:

May the Angels conduct you to Paradise; And at your coming may the Martyrs receive you. May they lead you to the holy City of Jerusalem.

May a choir of Angels receive you. And may you, with Larzarus, once a poor man, Possess eternal peace.
