- 261: Hamlet: Hamlet's Hate For His Uncle Brought On By Ghost
- Hamlet: Hamlet's Hate For His Uncle Brought On By Ghost In society today one might look back on the time of Shakespeare and say how ruthless and barbaric people were in that time, not realizing that the people of today are just as cruel and unforgiving. Shakespeare's Hamlet is a penetrating portrayal of a young man overcome with rage brought about by his uncle. This deep hate for his uncle along with his inability to forgive his mother, and the betrayal of ...
- 262: Ophelia: The Forgotten Character
- ... innocence." This is certainly a good description of her outlook on life, every bit as ingenuous as her brother's. It may not, however, apply to her sexual activity: The intensity of her feeling for Hamlet suggests that something more than a flirtation has gone on between them, and as Evans Smith points out, the lewd "St. Valentine's Day" song that she sings in her madness must have been learned somewhere, though its words should not be taken as literally describing the state of their relations (Smith 138). Northorp Frye writes that some commentators have expressed shock at the coarse language Hamlet jokingly uses toward her in the Play Scene, but also that aristocratic manners were looser then, and it is really no worse than some of the interchanges between courtly lovers in Shakespeare's romantic comedies (Frye 57-8). I imagine that Ophelia's reactions to Hamlet's language presumably come’s not from shock, but from confusion over his sudden change of mood and attitude toward her since the Nunnery Scene. She of course has no idea of the state ...

- 266: Horatios Speech To Fortinbras
- Sir Fortinbras and noble knights of the army of Norway, I stand before you today to tell a tale of a martyred hero to whom we must remember. Hamlet be thy name. He was a friend and a leader. About eight months ago Hamlet was distraught, I'd never seen him like this before. He had a good excuse, I mean his father had just died, his mom, god rest her soul, remarried not even a month afterwards. Hamlet's affair with Ophilia was dwindling in his giant fire of emotions. Ophilia was the kings' servant's daughter. The king's servant was Polonious. Polonious did not want Ophilia with Hamlet, nor did ...
- 267: Hamlets Impractical Thinking A
- Shakespeare s Hamlet revolves around the title character s undeniable obligation to immediately avenge his father s death by killing Claudius. Yet much time elapses before Hamlet finally does slay his evil uncle, leading to a fundamental question: what causes the hero to delay before eventually managing to salvage some retribution? The answer is that Hamlet s reoccuring state of impractical contemplation renders him incapable of any decisive action that could have brought quick revenge. A key moment in the play comes in the first act, when the ghost of ...
