Death Of His Father Rosencrantz And Guildenstern
1,567 wordsWho s there, asks Bernardo. Shakespeare, in the first two words of probably his most famous play, already makes the audience feel uncertain about the events that shall later unfold. In Hamlet, Shakespeare seems to pit reason against faith, using the Ghost, supposedly King Hamlet s spirit, as a tool to master this. However, Shakespeare portrays this inner struggle of reason against faith as Hamlet s insanity. Does Hamlet become insane in the play, or is Shakespeare trying too hard to once again m...

I also believe that he was a man of high moral standards, in fact higher than most of the people in Denmark at that time. Hamlet was bombarded by many situations at the start of ...
