"HAMLET by William Shakespeare is not a drama about a man who is incapable of making a decision nor is it only about Hamlet seeking revenge. Revenge is only part if not half the play. It is about a man who is going through a spiritual metamorphosis. Some say HAMLET is among the greatest plays ever written‚ but is it about a man who is dimwitted and slow‚ incapable of making up his mind? That’s like saying Julius Caesar won wars because he thought like a chimpanzee. HAMLET is a Duel Structured

"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka uses the distortions of Gregor Samsa’s current state as a vermin‚ his invaded space‚ and the abstract use of time to convey the antagonist’s alienation‚ isolation‚ and conformity causing his inaction as the existential hero. Gregor’s transformation absurdly exaggerates his shape‚ voice‚ and senses to exemplify how his physical mutation into a vermin and inarticulate struggles represent his alienation from society. "When Gregor Samsa woke up‚ [...] he found himself
