    Bravery‚ Loyalty‚ Perseverance and Cleverness. This are the qualities of the main character Odysseus‚ which make the movie more interesting and fun to watch. It is not all about the heroism of the main character but it is also all about to the love and willingness to wait at the right time. Odysseus’ adventure for me is just “AMAZING”. It indeed a supernaturally wonderful. Imagine he was imprisoned for about 16 years in order to be home. His son has grown enough to be a fine man. His wife Penelope

    obsessed with the idea of death and how easy and painless it would be. However‚ the use of the famous question‚ “To be or not to be”‚ suggests that Hamlet cannot be that suicidal if he has to question whether or not death is for him. Reasons for Hamlet’s uncertainty are given‚ “ay‚ there’s the rub;” he speaks of “shuffling off the mortal coil” and I think that part of why he has such conflicting thoughts about the idea is that in his religion‚ if you commit suicide you don’t enter heaven.

Hamlet’s inactivity is further exacerbated by his uncertainty pertaining to the

    trusting anyone. Hamlet‚ having been born a prince‚ is‚ for the first time‚ forced to make his own decisions after he learns of the true means of his father’s death. Another contributing factor to his madness is the constant probing of others into Hamlet’s sanity. These factors all contribute to Hamlets delay‚ and that delay contributes to the tragic downfall of Billy Shakespeare’s most brilliant hero at the hands of a distraught and vengeful Laertes. Hamlet once saw his mother as the epitome of

    not‚ rather he’s only pretending because he has another scheme up his sleeve. Knowing from the reader’s perspective of the story-Hamlet is pretending to be mad and only him and his best trusted friend Horatio knows it well as they know the plan of Hamlet’s vengeance of his own father. So this is just an eccentric behavior of his. Perhaps a behavior to only have King Claudius’s guard down as the Claudius and Polonius believes his madness is coming from the love he has for Ophelia which means it is consider

    TO BE OR NOT TO BE An Analysis of Hamlet’s Famous Soliloquy Hamlet’s soliloquy begins with what must be the most famous line in the English canon: “To be or not to be.” For the character at that moment‚ it is an important question‚ literally one of “life and death”‚ but the general terms in which it is phrased gives it a resonance that reaches out past Hamlet.
