Hamlet and King Lear both had themes of madness and this theme was very prominent throughout the story. In fact‚ this theme is what stood out to me the most.

Both of these writings are ones that philosophy is in the very fabric of one great criticism and a play that leads a man on a path of revenge and how to justify it. In Hamlet‚ by William Shakespeare‚ and Candide‚ by Voltaire‚ the subject of philosophy is one that centers throughout both of the writings; one that is discussed

The fact that Hamlet was thought to be autobiographical heavily discredits Shakespeare as there are many parallels to Edward De Vere’s own personal life in the play. Bethell finds it skeptical that the main character of Hamlet‚ Hamlet‚ resembles De Vere in many specific personal aspects. For instance‚ both De Vere and Hamlet‚ courtiers and Renaissance men‚ were scholars‚ athletes‚ and poets in their respective worlds.
