history was being made. They attempt to piece
together a history from primary sources of the
time period they are studying. Unfortunately these
primary sources were often biased themselves. This

Hamlets Soliloquy Fathers Murder

gives each significant character in the play all
the depth and emotion of a living human being.
Because of this, the characters, as well as the
plot, become extremely intricate and difficult to
define. Simply assigning a label to each character
does not do justice to their complexity because no

discernible guidelines. By this reasoning, it is
difficult to de...
