I never suspected mom ... I was must have been eight years old at the time. Dad was going to fight in Norway. We had a talk before he left. We sat down in the courtyard.

He left that afternoon and I knew he wouldn't be back for a long time. Things carried on as usual. I ran around the castle playing and shirking any responsibility that I had.

He immerses himself in his culture in an effort to solve the problems of present day. The native learns about what his people have done in the past, and as a result, he starts to look toward the future with new guidance. It is during this second stage when the colonized ... Zapata.

Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument ... can also analyse the behavior of Laertes upon the discovery of his fathers death to get a better picture of Hamlets shortcomings. Laertes acts without forethought: “let come what comes; only I’ll be reveng’d / Most throughly for my father”. In this scene Laertes is full of emotion as he challenges his king.
