The reluctant character Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,
has become one of the most cited characters in
history. Throughout Shakespeare's play Hamlet
knows what he must do, but avoids it in his mind.

his father's death? Hamlet is afraid. He is afraid
of failure. Hamlet tries to play off his fear by
blaming outside circumstances, like doubting the
existence of the ghost when he knows in his heart
it is true, and not having the right opportunity
to exact...

Difference Between Right And Wrong Ability To Reason
1,192 words
One of the most asked questions concerning Hamlet,
is whether or not during the play he was actually
insane or merely acting. This issue is confusing
because Hamlet states that he will act insane to
exact revenge upon Claudius after he has met his
fathers supposed ghost. However, there are many
times during the play where it seems Hamlet could
not possibly be acting. But while it is possible
to be sane and act insane, by definition it is
impossible to be insane and act sane because an
insane per...

Patty Ann had her special expression again, the

(Hamilton 93). This image of fragile perfection is

Symbol Of Blood Lady Macbeth
962 words
In Shakespeare's Macbeth the symbol of blood is
used to represent honor, bravery, treason, murder
and guilt! The symbol of blood is continuously
developed until it becomes the dominating theme of
the play. The word "blood, " or different forms of
it appear forty-two times, throughout the play.
Perhaps the best way to show how the symbol of
blood changes during the development of the play,
is to follow the character changes in Macbeth. At
first Macbeth is heralded as brave and honorable,
but as t...

Symbol Of Blood Lady Macbeth

I am going to prove that in the play Macbeth, a
symbol of blood is portrayed often (and with
different meanings), and that is a symbol that is
developed until it is the dominating thereof the
play towards the end of it. To begin with, I found
the word "blood", or different forms of it
forty-two times (ironically, the word fear is used
forty-two times), with several other passages
dealing with the symbol. Perhaps the best way to
show how the symbol of blood changes throughout
the play, is to foll...

Throughout many of William Shakespeare's best
known works, there is a common element that is
frequently overlooked. It isnt the continual use
of water terms, or the presence of clowns, or even
references to the devil, but rather the domination
of the almighty woman. This mighty, strong,
independent woman, who can hold her own in a
society ran by males is an essential part of
nearly every great Shakespearean play. It seems
almost implausible that there wo...
