1,430 wordster> How does Shakespeare influence the audiences response to the character of Hamlet?

Macbeth Macbeth Lady Macbeth
1,831 wordsWhat are the main sources of evil in the play? How does Shakespeare get this across to an audience? The witches are the main evil in the play even though they only appear 4 times in the story, but each time they appear they always create an evil atmosphere.

Act One Scene Love For Ophelia
1,843 wordsHamlet The character of Hamlet is one of the most compelling characters to ever rise from the pages of English literature. He has been subjected to numerous interpretations and studies over the centuries, his actions and thoughts analyzed and analyzed again.
