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.

Calpurnia’s Desperation‚ Decius’ Cleverness One of the most pivotal moments in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar was when Decius‚ a conspirator against Caesar‚ convinced Caesar to leave his house by reinterpreting Calpurnia’s horrific dream. Originally‚ Caesar planned to stay home because of his wife’s plea. However‚ Decius arrived and successfully convinced Caesar to depart to the Senate. Shakespeare uses different appeals‚ details‚ strategies‚ and understandings of Caesar to make Decius’ argument more

Claudius‚ by the ghost of his deceased father‚ the former King of Denmark. Hamlet’s continual delay of this undertaking results in his death as a victim of the circumstances that subsequently emerge. Hamlet’s cowardice––manifest by the inordinate amount of time he allots to considering his task without actively realising it––culminates in the stagnation which ultimately hinders him from implementing the ghost’s instructions.

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.

murder of a parent? A tidal wave of feelings could overwhelm the mind and give rise to unexplainable thoughts and emotions. Like Hamlet‚ the majority of us would probably sink into a deep depression and mourn for the loss of our childhood hero. In Hamlet’s case‚ he was visited briefly by the Ghost of his Father for one specific purpose: to seek revenge for the murder at the hands of his brother.

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. Hamlet poses the question on the most metaphysical level – not “shall I kill myself?”‚ nor “can I live like this?” but “to be or not to be”
