Hamlet vs. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead- The Truth William Shakespeare 1600’s play Hamlet inspires Tom Stoppard’s 1967 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead in the fact that they both contain the same plots where everyone dies and everyone makes the same speeches. But with some crucial differences that give each their own special feel‚ especially Stoppard’s play. People say he copied Hamlet but everyone can agree he defiantly added his own philosophical twist and turns. Stoppard stole

Agamemnon was blessed to have such an enormous army‚ and this is quite possibly the only reason why he was such a powerful leader. If‚ however‚ Agamemnon had a smaller army‚ would he have still been such a strong leader? No‚ and the reasons are very extensive because not only was he very negative‚ but he also boasted in his power. Agamemnon was described by Homer as a powerful leader‚ but he neglected to show us many reasons why he was so strong. The reason why Homer did not show us many of those

honestly a asset of a high character alone‚ it is unbelievable that mankind should cherish tragedy above all‚ let alone understand that. Tragedy is invoked when a character is ready to die to secure his one objective. In Shakespearean tragedies‚ from Hamlet to Macbeth‚ the primary struggle is that attempt of gaining their “rightful” position in society. Furthermore‚ Tragedy then is the outcome of a man’s pressure to evaluate himself. Moving on to the Shakespearean play‚ Macbeth‚ is the ideal tragic

Hamlet: Coward Many people proclaim Hamlet a hero‚ but I believe he stands as a coward who questions himself. Hamlet’s intellectual ability is superior to others‚ but there lies his weakness. His thinking in certain situations and personal needs characterize Hamlet as a coward of mind‚ not action. Hamlet is a coward because he is unable to make decisions. To begin with‚ Hamlet’s first instance of showing a cowardly mindset is when he questions himself in his “Oh what a peasant slave am I” soliloquy

Appearance vs Reality Possibly the best piece of writing ever done by William Shakespeare‚ Hamlet‚ is a classic example of a tragedy. In all tragedies the hero suffers‚ and usually dies at the end. Romeo and Juliet commit suicide‚ Brutus falls on his sword‚ and like them Hamlet dies by getting cut with a poison tipped sword. The theme that remains constant throughout the play is appearance versus reality. Things within the play appear to be true and honest but in reality are polluted

productions of Hamlet Act 1 Scene 4-5 from the ghost’s entry to Hamlet’s reaction: the 2009 version directed by Gregory Doran starring David Tennant and the 1990 version by Glenn Close starring Mel Gibson.

The 1990 version stays more traditional in its style‚ but lefts out many (more) lines of words and rather focuses on conveying the emotions of the characters. The two main characters‚ ghost and Hamlet‚ take on

Hamlet- The Garden Motif and Fate vs. Man Of Hamlet’s many theories and subjects‚ perhaps one of the most prevailing ideas in William Shakespeare’s most riveting play is in fact the “garden” motif. Shakespeare illustrates throughout his writing the idea of the garden which presumably represents Hamlet’s own paradise‚ and the rotting destruction of the garden is meant to vividly depict the unavoidable hell Hamlet endures throughout the plot. By utilizing this imagery and symbolism‚ William Shakespeare
