Avenge His Fathers Murder Rosencrantz And Guildenstern
1,969 wordsI am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw (2. 2. 338 - 9). This is a classic example of the wild and whirling words (1. 5. 133) with which Hamlet hopes to persuade people to believe that he is mad. These words, however, prove that beneath his antic disposition, Hamlet is very sane indeed. Hamlet is saying that he knows a hunting hawk from a hunted handsaw or heron in other words, that, very far form being mad, he is perfectly capable of recognizing hi...

Christmas Carol Shouldn T
763 wordsThe decision to write about Dicken s A Christmas Carol was an easy one for me. Although many of the works I had to choose from included messages about how we should live, A Christmas Carol is a story entirely about this issue. So I figured much could be drawn from a story so pertinent to the topic. I also feel that Dickens makes a specific and interesting point about the place of the individual in the world. The outline of the story can be summarized best in terms of the visitations Scrooge expe...

Men In Her Life Claudius Guilt
1,591 wordsOne must always be weary of the truth because it is quite often manipulated to serve the needs of any person who requires that the truth be on their side. Quite often, the only way to discern the truth from the fiction is by way of a deceptive act, because an act of deception always exposes both its self and the truth to be two quite different things. Nowhere is this more true than in William Shakespeare's, Hamlet. One of the major themes in the play is in fact, deception. This central theme is ...

Hamlets Soliloquy Fathers Murder
1,001 wordsThe Ghost The Ghost Using all of his seemingly infinite faculties to compose Hamlet, Shakespeare gives each significant character in the play all the depth and emotion of a living human being. Because of this, the characters, as well as the plot, become extremely intricate and difficult to define. Simply assigning a label to each character does not do justice to their complexity because no one character acts according to any easily discernible guidelines. By this reasoning, it is difficult to de...

2,548 words1. Hamlet 17 HAMLET 1. As the play opens, Hamlet is troubled by the turn of events following his fathers death. 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...
