Act Three Scene Act Two Scene
1,018 wordsWithin his tragic Hamlet, Shakespeare explores three definitions of madness. The definition presented by Ophelia is the only one I interpret as conventional madness, whereas I think the two presented by Hamlet are either feigned or the result of heightened emotions.

John Keats View On Alienation And Ecstasy

The poets life explains much of the leading themes of his poetry (which seem to be alienation and ecstasy). Most of his best work appeared in one year. Keats was born in London as the s...
