- 1372: Hamlet: Essay On Act I
- ... just so happens to be masrried to Hamlet's mother, creating a definate first impression. Hamlet is aslo introduced, and the impression perceived is one of a troubled individual, who is grieving his father's death, and is angry at his mother for marrying his uncle Claudious. Ophelia, Hamlet's girlfriend, and the daughter of Polonious is introduced in scene III. She is described as a rather affectionate, but rather docile individual. All throughout act one, Hamlet's dead father's ghost keeps appearing, but does not speak until scene five, where it tells Hamlet to avenge his death, and to kill his uncle Claudious.
