Lady Macbeth Iii Iv
629 wordsImagery has been used throughout the history of literature to create different effects in various writings. One author who was a master of imagery is William Shakespeare. This imagery is vividly displayed in his classic tragedy, Macbeth. One image that is used throughout Macbeth is the supernatural.

Claudius And Gertrude Pain And Suffering
1,790 wordsIn Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet, the protean characters mask their true identity with misrepresentations, appearing to be one person on the outside, but on the inside we see an entirely different person. It is as almost the characters walk around with masks on to hide who they really are. Claudius appears to be a somewhat kind and caring person who is well liked throughout the kingdom. The audience knows his true face of being a murderous brother, brought to the throne by lust and envy. Both wo...

Analyzing Hamlet Sanity In The Play
1,625 wordsHamlet and his sanity can arguably be discussed. Two ways that this could be so are discussing the possibility of "his loss of control in his actions or his ability of dramatic art" (Hamlet's Madness). When we first met Hamlet he is in a state of despair. He is an emotional young man who is struggling with the death of his father. At this point; his entire life is consumed by depression. This to me is presumed as normal, for a person who as suffered a lost, of someone dear to him or her, as was ...

Upon reading the sampling of Hamlet criticisms in John Jumps Hamlet (Selections) I disagreed with a few of the critics, but my analysis was the most different from Wilson Knights interpretation. He labels Hamlet as a sick, cynical, and inhumane prince (Jump, 124) who vitiated a Denmark which was one of healthy and robust life, good-nature, humor, romantic strength, and welfare. In his book, The Wheel of Fire, he co...

Avenge His Fathers Murder Claudius And Polonius
945 wordsHamlet: A Sane Man Hamlet was indeed a very sane man. He was only feigning madness to further his own plans for revenge. His words were so cleverly constructed that others will perceive him as mad. It is this consistent cleverness that is the ultimate evidence of his complete sanity. Can a mad person be so clever? No, a mad person cannot. Hamlet is sane and brilliant. After Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcellus see the ghost, Hamlet tells Horatio that he is going to feign madness. If Horatio is to noti...

Hamlet Madness Shakespeare Hamlet
2,556 wordsThe issue of madness is one of major importance in this play. Is Hamlet truly mad, meaning insane? Or is he merely angry? Does he feign madness and use it as a guise? Or does he place himself so dangerously close to the line between sanity and insanity that he crosses it without even realizing it? Or is he so intelligent, cunning and in control that this is merely the playing out of his completely conceived and well-executed plan of attack? The patient is a thirty year-old male. He is Hamlet, Pr...

Shakespeare Hamlet Father Death
1,249 wordsShakespeare? s Hamlet is a most enigmatic and complex character, his psyche the subject of more detailed psychoanalysis than any other character in English literature. It is only once in a great while that the reader of literature comes across a man who fakes madness, and ultimately immerses himself so deep into this feigned madness to a point of total metamorphosis into a new being. Hamlet? s ostensibly concocted madness ultimately catalyzes the development of his dormant, inward madness and na...

Prince Of Cumberland Macbeth Realizes
1,559 wordsThe tragedy of Macbeth is an excellent example of a divided man and a divided kingdom.

This indecision leads him to do many things that would be considered very impulsive and erroneous on his part. He has a unique case of duplicity, and this is what destroys him in the end. He is glad that he is king b...
