Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Antic Disposition
1,827 words

from taking him seriously. We first see Hamlet's
initial plan of faking insanity falling into place
when he is talking to Horatio and Marcellus,
telling them not to comment to anyone about his
"antic disposition (Shakespeare, 75). " Hamlet's
supposed madness ...

picture of Roman life during the time of the First
Triumvirate. In this snap shot, we see many
unfortunate things. Shakespeare gives us the idea

holds, such as unfortunate things, by being
superstitious. Superstition seems to play a role
in the basic daily life of most Roman citizens.
