Flower Assignment

1.) The flowers are imaginary, we came to this conclusion through the fact that the timing of her pulling out flowers, and the fact that she is starting to go insane.
2.) Yes, each person's flower represents her emotions toward that person.
3.) We saw Gertrude getting columbine and fennel, because it is representative of her quick, incest, remarriage after old Hamlet's death. Claudius recieved columbine for the same reason, and he also recieved rosemary. This is in rememberance of his brother murder/death. Finally, we saw Laertes recieving rosemary, rue, and violets. These are all remeberance of his fathers' death.
4.) She keeps Rue for herself because it represents her repentance and sorrow towards her behavior displayed toward Hamlet.
5.) She is merely pointing it out because it represents the broken relationships of everyone in the room.
6.) Horatio is just a spectator, he does not recieve any flowers.
