Macbeth Hamlet Claudius
385 words
In the tragedies of Hamlet and Macbeth, by William
Shakespeare, the main character exhibits a tragic
flaw. However, the problem that afflicts each is
directly opposite the fault of the other.
Macbeth's weakness is his ambition, driving him
forward in murder and betrayal, whereas Hamlet has
no such driving force to even avenge the wrongful
murder of his own father and suffers from an
inability to act. Macbeth decides to follow his
first instinct after meeting with the witches and
promptly murders...

Julius Caesar Great Chain
826 words
William Shakespeare is famous for his use of
language and puns, his jests and motifs. The
characters in Shakespeare's Hamlet use language to
communicate ideas, distort truth, and manipulate
other people. In Hamlet there are numerous
recurring ideas, which serve as motifs. One of
these recurring images is disease. The characters
use the imagery of disease in correlation to
sickness and rottenness. Sickness enters Denmark
when the Great Chain of Being is disrupted. Early
in the first scene, when F...

Act I Scene Father Lost
692 words
HAMLET From the evidence, presented in scenes 2,
4, and 5 of Hamlets Act I, it appears that it
would be wrong to refer to Claudius as the
embodiment of evil, who is only preoccupied with
pursuing his personal agenda. Apparently, Claudius
is concerned about the well-being of the kingdom,
as his foremost priority, which suggests that the
role of king really does suit him well: Now
follows, that you know, young Fortinbras, Holding
a weak supposal of our worth, Or thinking by our
late dear brother's...

Hamlet: A Tool of a Higher Power Kristine Theobald
Throughout Shakespeare's Hamlet, it seems that a
higher spiritual power is influencing the events
taking place in the state of Denmark. A ghost of
the recently deceased King Hamlet appears to Young
Hamlet telling him of his most foul and most
unnatural murder (1. 5. 30). This begins a chain
of events leading up to the martyrdom of Hamlet,
and the spiritual cleansing of the throne of
Denmark. Firstly, Hamlet sees the evil and
contemptible state o...

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Hamlet
677 words
Has Hamlet Gone Mad? Hamlet was the prince of
Denmark, son of the assassin-nated King Hamlet and
Queen Gertrude, and nephew to Claudius. Hamlet,
(during the play) goes through some very troubling
situations in which he seems to act in an insane
manner. But I am convinced that he was? not in
madness, but mad in craft. 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

Hamlet: Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword It is
commonly said that if you play too close with the
fire, you are going to get burned. This generally
means that if you live a dangerous lifestyle, then
you will eventually falter and suffer the
consequences. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, there are
many cases where characters are killed because
they lived a murderous lifestyle. Claudius murders
his own brother and is then murdered himself.

Hamlet dies. H...

Leader as a person who has followers. To a person

Act Iv Scene Scene V Lines

After Hamlet has discovered the truth about his
father, he goes through a very traumatic period,
which is interpreted as madness by readers and
characters. With the death of his father and the
hasty, incestuous remarriage of his mother to his
uncle, Hamlet is thrown into a suicidal frame of
mind in which the uses of this world seem to him
weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable. No man in
his right state contemplates suicide and would
take his life due to human frailty. Ophelia tells
us that before...

brilliant but impatient, these are the reasons for

his death in the end. In Elizabethan times, a
ghost was generally believed to be a devil that
had assumed the form of a dead person. These

Tragic Hero Main Cause

Hamlet: A Tragic Hero Hamlet, a tragedy written by
William Shakespeare, once again gave me an
opportunity to understand and gain more knowledge
on how Shakespeare regarded most of his main
characters as tragic heroes themselves. Since the
play Hamlet was totally full of tragedy, it
certainly was portrayed by once again a tragic
hero named Hamlet. Upon watching Tanghalang
Pilipinos Hamlet at the CCP, the first thing I was
able to notice was the portrayal of the Hamlets
character. As in right from...

There are many factors in Shakespeare s Hamlet
that lead us to think Hamlet is mad. Although if
we really look into the reading and pay attention
to little comments and gestures that he does
throughout the play we come to a conclusion that
he is just faking his insanity. Characters in the

Each one of them has his or her own theory to
explain his so called madness. Hamlets sanity is
sprinkled throughout the whole play. Hamlet

with an extraordinary and an unfailing immediacy
There are themes in the play that are relevant to
life today such as when mans social, political and
ethical worlds are out of balance. This lack of
balance is symbolized by a disjunction in his own
health and in nature. In other words natural
illnesses or occurrences are symbolic of the
illness in his thinking. This happens today and is
also illustrated in Shakespeare's Hamlet Man often

Tragic Flaw Hamlet Claudius
275 words
Hamlets famous soliloquy (Hamlet, act III, scene
1) shows his depth and ability in thinking, and
shows Shakespeare's ability to manipulate
language. Throughout the play, Hamlet stops to
think before acting on anything. The more he
thinks, the less he does. Therefore, thinking led
him to doubt, which led to inaction. Thus
conscience does make cowards of us all. Hamlets
tragic flaw is his inability to act on impulse.
Stopping to think before acting cost Hamlet
numerous opportunities to get revenge...

In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare a
frightful calamity occurs. We see two characters
Hamlet and Laertes who both seek to revenge the
murderers of their departed fathers. Many of the
readers may contemplate if Hamlet is crazy for
what he believes to be true. Hamlet is dynamic,
animated, and absurd in his madness. Shakespeare
uses the dimmer light of reality to expose the
brighter light of the plot. Throughout the play
Shakespeare incorporates a theme of madness.
Moreover, madness is brill...
