evaluation processes emphasizing the relative
performance of a decision maker in relation to

The soliloquy that appears in Act 1, Scene 2,
lines 129 through 159 of William Shakespeare
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is the first to appear
in the tragedy. The mere position of it within the
play makes it important, although that alone does
not explain the substance of it. Presented in the
form of a soliloquy, the audience is more likely
to believe the words spoken by Hamlet. Dramatic
characters are not always to be believed when
speaking to other characters, but when they

the novel, not only of Edna, but also the other
