Hamlet's Soliloquy Parody
To eat or not to eat, that is the question
Whether it is better to eat in moderation
And stay healthy and fit
Or to indulge one’s mouth and stomach
And eat that delicious red velvet cake. To eat; to bite;
No more dieting; and by partaking of food I mean to end
The heartache and thousand hunger pangs
That I am subject to in a diet.
The union of food and stomach is extremely desired. To eat; to bite;
To bite—maybe even overindulge: oh what a dream!
For in those first few mouthfuls of delicious freedom how happy I will be
In breaking the shackles of this dreadful diet
At the greatest of all buffets: souplantation. There’s a discontent
That makes me return yet again to the bar for more.
For who would just sit at the table
Talking to companions, digestion slowly,
And never to be truly full and satisfied,
When she might be able to eat another plateful
Of pasta? What consequences she must face,
Carbohydrates, Calories, and worst of all—weight,
But the diet that is my new year’s resolution—
The Jenny Craig diet, from which such severe limits
No human should ever endure—starves my soul,
And makes me salivate at the sight of such heavenly sweets
At the price of shedding a few pounds?
I cannot endure the temptation any longer;
And pity my overweight-self, but I choose
That victuals are none other than vital, delicious, necessities
Who’s doomed fate leads them to my stomach.
With food, I will finally be appeased
And with a donut in one hand and a muffin in the other- I resume to my life
Such scrumptious delights! I yield in their glory
Sacrificing my weight for such

    Hamlet has just fought with Gertrude and Claudius, and has decided to stay home, as opposed to going to college. Claudius told Hamlet he was not allowed to go, and Hamlet decided to stay for his mother. The, “O, that this too too solid flesh would melt…” soliloquy reveals the first thoughts of death that Hamlet has within the play. Not much has happened, but the King and Queen are married, and the ghost has been seen. As the first soliloquy, this is the first insight into Hamlet’s state of mind that the audience has.…

    4.) During act III, scene IV, line 30, Hamlet, in order to see Gertrude’s reaction, indirectly accuses her of being a part of Claudius’ atrocity by saying that what he has done (killed Polonius) is as bad as killing a king and marrying his brother. Once Gertrude hears this, confused, she repeats “as kill a king?” and asks him what she has done to cause him to be so rude to her, assuring that, like his father’s ghost had said, she was only weak and she had nothing to do with his assassination.…

    For the most part, this Hamlet's soliloquy is the crisis of the play. It is when Hamlet fail to kill Claudius at prayer although he has the inner certitude that he is the murderer of his father. And this is obviously due to his consciousness. This soliloquy emphasizes in one way or another the universal human thought: to act or not to act in front of a situation requiring immediate action, always ask inner questions, make difficult choices and sometimes be tugged by his or her choice. Shakespeare uses, thereby, Hamlet to reflect on situations in the current life on which people are unable to have control, or difficult events to overcome, just because consciousness pushes them to understand that every action has its consequences and leads them…

    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)…

    In spite of the fact that the plot evokes the implication that it occurred between the close of 16th century and the start of the 17th century, Shakespeare’s Hamlet surpasses the constraints of time and muses upon both the primitive and contemporary man. In the late 16th century in England, people of all classes on the social echelon, with the exception of royals, were able to publicly eyewitness theatre. Audiences craved new plays to assuage their appetites. One of numerous dramatists that capitalized this abundance of opportunity was Shakespeare. Opposed to the modern time, audiences spectated the play to hear it rather than see it. The articulation of the lines and significance of how the story was recited was crucial…

    Throughout history, both men and women have struggled trying to achieve unattainable goals in the face of close-minded societies. Authors have often used this theme to develop stories of characters that face obstacles and are sometimes unable to overcome the stigma that is attached to them. This inability to rise above prejudice is many times illustrated with the metaphor of hunger. Not only do people suffer from physical hunger, but they also suffer from spiritual hunger: a need to be full of life. When this spiritual hunger is not satisfied, it can destroy a life, just as physical hunger can kill as well.…

    It is no surprise that with the increased popularity in fast food chains, America’s obesity rate has dramatically increased. In a survey done by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), obesity is the number two cause of preventable death, with approximately sixty-two percent of American adults overweight, up from thirty- two percent in 1994 (Profiling Food Consumption in America). In Susan Brink and Elizabeth Querna’s article “Eat This Now”, they discuss how this generation will be affected by increasing obesity rates. The increased rate of child and teen obesity shows that the average lifespan is predicted to drop from an average of 77 years to 71 years (“Eat This Now”). The way and what American’s are eating have harmful effects that can change people’s lives drastically. With the excessive numbers of calorie and sugar intake, people slowly conform to the unhealthy lifestyle. It is important daily to eat each food group, control portion sizes, and limit processed foods. There is a method to controlling eating with it still being enjoyable, and shrinking the waistline. The first step is to be informed.…

    In America, the amount of people who suffer from obesity in the last 40 years has increased significantly. It has become such an issue that, in 2001, the surgeon general declared obesity an epidemic in the country. Even though the amount of children and adults that are obese has seemed to level off, the numbers of overweight and obese people are still very high. Just about 1/3rd of children are considered to be overweight or obese and just about 2/3rd of adults are obese or overweight. These weight issues in adults can lead to health issues such as diabetes and heart problems. Many people put the blame on the individual person themselves, saying that it is about their own personal responsibility and commitment to keep their weight in order but the issue isn’t to be blamed on that alone. The environments we live in promote large portion sizes and junk food, rather than promoting the eating of fruits and vegetables.…
