I will take a philosophical look at three themes that interest and stand out most to me. Death, as we know it, is inevitable.

Frankenstein becomes obsessed with learning about death, and then, he bec...

It seems (and later becomes apparent), that Hamlets upset is caused more by the remarriage of his mother and her love and devotion towards Claudius so soon after King Hamlets death, than by simple mourning of his fathers passing. This is shown in lines 147 - 162 Why she would hang on him / As if increase of appetite had grown / By what it fed on. And yet, within a month / (Let me not t...

It was really interesting to see how this series of events would be an ongoing theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the same outcome was to be expec...
