    Throughout the scene Claudius depicts a personality that evaluates situations and makes choices out of desire without much concern for consequence. Although Claudius does show a little bit of concern for consequence, he generally acts from an “inner-child” psyche. In the scene, Claudius plots with Laertes and acts quickly out of a sense of DESIRE and makes a plan to kill Hamlet. Demonstrated in the lines; “A sword unbated, and in a pass of practice, Requite him for your father.” (4.7.137 - 140) And “I will do’t. And for that purpose I’ll anoint my sword. I bought unction of a mountebank, So mortal that, but dip a knife in it, Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare, Collected from all simples that have virtue Under the moon, can save the thing from death That is but scratched withal. I’ll touch my point With this contagion, that if I gall him slightly It may be death.” (4.7. 140 - 145). In these lines, Claudius and Laertes plan to kill hamlet by sharpening a fencing blade and dousing it with a poison that will cripple upon contact. This is clearly a representation of a psyche that acts rapidly out of an intense sense of desire.…

    Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's tragic plays. It is about two star crossed lovers who commit suicide when their feuding families prevent them from being together. The play has many characters, each with his/her own role in keeping the plot line. Some characters do not have a great amount of lines, but have the plot revolving around them. Such a character is Friar Laurence. At first glance, one may overlook this character and dismiss him as only a minor player in the story of Romeo and Juliet. Upon closer examination, it becomes obvious that the Friar plays a crucial role in the development of the play. Throughout the play he attempts to guide young Romeo and Juliet through their struggles, and unwittingly causes their deaths.…

    How all occasions do inform against me,/ And spur my dull revenge! What is a man/ If his chief good and market of his time/ Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more./ Sure, he that made us with such large discourse,/ Looking before and after, gave us not/ That capability and godlike reason/ To fust in us unused. Now, whether it be/ Bestial oblivion, or some craven scruple / Of thinking too precisely on th' event—/ A thought which, quartered, hath but one part wisdom/ And ever three parts coward—I do not know/ Why yet I live to say “This thing’s to do,”/ Sith I have cause and will and strength and means/ To do ’t. Examples gross as earth exhort me./ Witness this army of such mass and charge/ Led by a delicate and tender prince,/ Whose spirit with divine ambition puffed/ Makes mouths at the invisible event,/ Exposing what is mortal and unsure/ To all that fortune, death, and danger dare,/ Even for an eggshell. Rightly to be great/ Is not to stir without great argument,/ But greatly to find quarrel in a straw/ When honor’s at the stake. How stand I then,/ That have a father killed, a mother stained,/ Excitements of my reason and my blood,/ And let all sleep—while, to my shame, I see/ The imminent death of twenty thousand men,/ That for a fantasy and trick of fame/ Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot/ Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,/ Which is not tomb enough and continent/ To hide the slain? Oh, from this time forth,/ My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth! (IV.iv.34-68)…

    William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, is thought by many readers to have the major theme of revenge. Although revenge is a significant part of the play, it is not the main theme. Throughout the play there are many ways Shakespeare uses dramatic irony and for each one there is always a cause and effect. He uses this Cause and effect to target the audience and to keep them engaged in the play. An example of cause and effect would be in Act IV, Scene IV (IV, iv, 35-70). In this scene it shows Hamlet and his liking of Fortinbras and how angry he is at himself. The cause is from the audience while the speech and other things are the effect. The cause and effect from this scene and the soliloquy is one of the ways Shakespeare connected with his audience, which was in his time the Elizabethan era.…

    Jean Valjean spent nineteen years in prison, and for that whole time he fostered a hate for all the world. Hugo tells us that this prolonged hatred made him capable of two types of evil. Firstly, he could commit instinctual unpremeditated actions of evil. Secondly, he was also capable of deliberate, grave, premeditated evil (366). While Jean Valjean's coping mechanism was not very healthy, it did offer Valjean stability, but all ballasts were thrown overboard when Valjean encountered the Bishop of D ––.…

    "Class, this is Alberto and he will be joining our class for this last month of the school year," the teacher yelled as I stood next to her puzzled and embarrassed. For a few hours, I plainly sat in my chair without saying a word, reflecting on my already missed memories of school in Rhode Island, until another student named Luis approached me. Of course, I was expecting him to say something in Spanish, but shockingly he spoke to me in English. Without hesitation, I responded to him and we quickly became close friends.…

    At the time of writing Murmuring Judges, the whole of Britain was under the terrifying cloud of the IRA. With bombings going off in both England and Ireland, people on both sides feared for their lives. In the eyes of most English people, the Irish were seen as terrorists or, at the very least, co-conspirators. Therefore, Hare saw it as crucial that he set the victim of the play as an Irishman, with the middle-England judiciary being the abusers. As we see in Act 1 Scene 4, Gerard McKinnon is being admitted to jail, with Beckett the prison guard guiding him.…

    In William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet, act 4 scene 2 and scene 4 should be put together. Both scenes include preparations for the wedding the following day, but they are too weak as separate scenes.When Capulet sent one of his servants out to get some cooks, “Sirrah, go hire me twenty cunning cooks.” (4.2.2). But just two scenes later, they are in the kitchen cooking the food. “Come, stir, stir, stir! The second cock hath crowned.” (4.4.3). Getting the food, and cooking the food are two very similar things that most the time occur very close to each other. Why do they need to split the two very similar scenes. Instead of having two scenes, that basically go hand in hand, Shakespeare should have combined them into one scene. Not…

    1. In Hamlets speech on line 165 of Act 1, Scene 5, he makes his friends swear upon his sword that they will not reveal anything that they had seen or heard that night. In this scene the sword is a symbol much like the cross; if an individual was asked to swear upon a cross they are likely to keep that promise because they know that they are making a promise with God or with a greater power. He later goes on to make them insist that if they believe his actions are “strange or odd” they must not question his motives. The friends swear.…

    Hamlet Act 1 Analysis

    • 616 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The short first scene of Act IV bases on Gertrude's selling out of her child, handing him over to the ruler in the wake of having guaranteed to help him. While she keeps her guarantee not to uncover that Hamlet was just putting on a show to be crazy, the prompt and blunt path in which she educates Claudius concerning Hamlet's conduct and his murder of Polonius suggests that she considers herself to be united to the ruler as opposed to her child. Whether Gertrude truly trusts Hamlet to be frantic, or has just perceived that her best advantage lies in aligning herself with Claudius paying little heed to what she accepts, is difficult to decide from this scene and is generally a matter of one's close to home translation of the occasions. Whatever…
