Abner Snopes Barn Burning
1,118 wordsYoure getting to be a man. You got to learn. You got to learn to stick to your own blood or you aint going to have any blood to stick to you.

His reactions towards his mother, Claudius, and Ophelia are expressed with deep emotion, however, Hamlet chooses to release his emotions with immaturity and lack of self-control.
