those before him. The comedy Much Ado About
Nothing is a poignant love story, riddled with
stunning imagery and allusion. An examination of

Claudius And Gertrude Antic Disposition
1,095 words
The character Hamlet in Shakespeare's Hamlet may
be considered eccentric at least, insane or
deranged at worst. While Hamlet is assuredly a man
of ineffable wit and infallible intent, his mental
foundation is made of sand; he is very foolish,
impractical, extravagant; senseless, as Websters
dictionary defines Insane. While Hamlet never
loses his ability to reason, his antic disposition
causes him to become foolishly extravagant, to
which no purpose is served. His show of insanity
is far too conv...

William Shakespeare s play Hamlet, a question

on the face or something that disguises or
conceals oneself. All the characters in

who they really are, which contradicted a main
idea, expressed by the fool, Old Polonius, To
thine own self be true (Polonius 1. 3. 84). All
the characters share strengths and triumphs, flaws
and downfalls. Instead of revealing their
