Hamlet - Cultural Identity
.... he accepts the ghost's words, be it from fear or loyalty, and he appears to decide that he must fulfil his duty and kill Claudius. If he were to do otherwise, Hamlet knows that the values he believes in, and therefore the values of the society which raised him, would not permit him to live as a noble and worthy son and citizen.
Hamlet's duty to the monarchy and his role in society are in direct conflict with his duty as a son. Hamlet's duty to the monarchy is to protect the King and Hamlet's role in .....

Hamlet - Revenge Was Not An Ac
.... Hamlet does this not because he wants to, but because his father makes it clear that it is his duty as a son. Hamlet promises to prove his love and duty by killing Claudius.
Hamlet, unlike Fortinbras and Laertes, did not follow what his advisor told him without questioning why he should take the advice. As time passes, Hamlet still has not acted out the revenge he promised his father. Out of disgust for his irreverence for his father he says, “why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, that I, th .....

Hamlet
.... mood changes also appear in Hamlet's relationship with his mother. He seemed to believe in his mother's purity and goodness, but eventually Hamlet seems to hold a great mount of contempt for Gertrude, especially when he mocks her words, and then snidely proclaims: "You are the queen, your husband's brother's wife, / And would it were not so, you are my mother" (3.4.15-16). Such mood swings as these definitely prove, if anything, that Hamlet could not keep adequate control of his emotions.
This lack o .....

Hamlet
.... today in the fact that if someone has a problem with log cutting, for example, they hold protests and take action against that problem. The second way that Hamlet is extreme is when he goes with the ghost that looks like his father even though his friends warn him that the ghost may be evil and “. . .tempt you toward the flood . . . Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff . . .” (Hamlet. I, iv, 69-70). If the prince was thinking right he would not have gone with the ghost that resembled the old “. . . K .....

Hamlet Analyzed In Terms Of Ar
.... are
tied together in a sensible, believable manner. Hamlet
is able to avenge his father’s death by killing his
uncle. Shakespeare also follows Aristotle’s idea of the
tragedy being of a certain magnitude. The characters
are supposed to be the most perfect people whom the
audience can still relate to. Hamlet is a wealthy
prince, however he deals with the same problems as the
common man. He is confused, paranoid, and angered about
the circumstances surrounding his father’s death. He is

Hamlet Vs. Oedipus
.... and the son of his wife. In the end, Oedipus finds his wife/mother hanged herself, so in the midst of all this Oedipus gouges his eyes out and banished himself from the castle.
In both these plays, truth played a major role in the outcome. Hamlet became so engrossed in the truth; he was too hesitant and continued to second-guess himself throughout the play. He may have become king but because truth was so important to him Hamlet ended up dying as well. As for Oedipus, knowing the truth may not be all i .....

Horatios Speech To Fortinbras
.... nor why but under some circumstance unknown to all but possibly Hamlet and his mother Polonious died at the end of Hamlet's sword in Hamlet's mothers very bedroom. Gertrude put on a wonderful act in the days to follow. She showed no knowledge what so ever of the murder she now was very much aware of.
Meanwhile Ophilia, now fatherless, completely lost all touch of realty. She drowned within the next few days. I think it was suicide.
Hamlet was sent by the king to England. I found out later that the .....

How Shakespear Creats Humor In
.... put on is so bad it actually is lamentable.
When Bottom says: "I'll speak in a monstrous little voice,"
(Iii 43) he surely does not mean a voice which is both
monstrous and little, for something cannot be both monstrous
and little. What Bottom is trying to say is that he will
speak in a "very" little voice. Bottom does not realize
what he has said and creates amusing confusion for the
reader. One of Helena's oxymorons is in Act 3, scene 2,
line 129: "oh devilish- holy fray!" Obviously something .....

Iago In Shakespeares Othello

[Act II, Scene III, Line 245] Trust is a very powerful emotion that is easily abused. Othello, "holds [him] well;/The better shall [Iago's] purpose work on him." [pg. 1244, Line 362] Iago is a master of abuse in this case turning people's trust in him into tools to forward his own goals. His "med'cine works! Thus credulous fools are caught...." .....

Macbeth’s stature increased to fill the space in the bundle of limbs opened by the death of the Thane of Cawdor for “what he hath lost, noble Macbeth hath won” (I, ii, 67). “When we first see him [Macbeth] he is already invaded by those fears which are to render him vicious and which are finally to make him abominable” (Van Doren 216).At the end of A .....

Julius Caesar
.... Caesar's ambition. He says that the reason for killing Caesar was his great love for Rome. He justifies his actions by saying that he loved Caesar but, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more." He then asks rhetorically if the people would want to live their lives as slaves under Caesar's rule or would they prefer to live as freemen with Caesar dead. To anyone insulted by his speech he wonders if, as Romans who love their freedom, they could be offended or reject what he, Brutus, says. H .....
