In the play Hamlet‚ Shakespeare creates a rich emotional fabric in Hamlet’s first soliloquy. From the first lines of the soliloquy‚ we can find such emotions as depression‚ disillusion‚ anger‚ and even the hatred and disgust for Hamlet’s mother and uncle. The first line in the soliloquy shows us depression: "O! that this too too solid flesh would melt‚/Thaw and resolve itself into a dew" (Shakespeare 42). Hamlet’s depressive spirit is explained by that he is tired of life and wants to die. The reason

not justified because according the bible revenge is gods will. Two wrongs do not make a right therefore what Hamlet does throughout the play cannot be justified. Revenge is wrong‚ so is murder‚ therefore Hamlet should not avenge his father’s death to what a “spirit” tells him. Furthermore the ghost says to Hamlet “revenge his foul and most unnatural murder” (1‚ 5‚ 25) means that Hamlet has a moral duty to avenge his father’s death from King Claudius‚ but in contrast how do we know that the ghost

Jeff‚ This whole thing with nick is not working out. Like you said when he has melt downs I text him asking him to call. I’ve done this three or four times. At best he responds next day‚ if he responds at all. He does ask if there’s another time he can call. I give him one and then he doesn’t call. More than helping Calvin it seems be torturing him.

"For he was likely‚ had he been put on‚ / To have proved most royal" (V.ii.390-391). This quote was said by Frontinbras saying if Hamlet had lived he would of proved to be a great king.

Through the use of key words such as “would” and “prefer”‚ Melville gives Bartleby the appearance of submitting to his employer’s‚ the lawyer’s‚ judgment and authority.

The structure of the lines precisely echoes the swings from lucidity to mental disturbance that characterize Macbeth throughout the play. There are three false alarms: "I see thee still . . . I see thee yet . . . I see thee still!" Between each of these alarms comes a moment of respite in which Macbeth appeals to the
