- ... actions, etc. We see from brief descriptions of Thias and Lisbeth that they have an enabling relationship with one another. Actually, there is no physical interaction between Thias and Lisbeth besides when, after his tragic death, she mourns his loss. But, perhaps the constitution of their relationship as we have described above can be read out of the symbolic nature of Thias Bede’s death. He, after a supposed evening of libation, drowns himself accidentally in the stream near their home. This event takes place after we are introduced to Lisbeth’s fashion of frequent and dramatic crying, during which in chronology of the novel’s events we know Thias is at the “Waggin Overthrow”.

- 1646: Hamlet - Soliloquies
- ... His resolution to do nothing will be the source of his problems in following speeches. The second soliloquy concerns Hamlet's delay of action.

Christopher Marlowe had a very controversial death. His mysterious death took place inside of a tavern where there was a brawl about who was going to pay the dinner bill.
