    Ghost story Haunted House It was almost midnight‚ when the full moon was shining brightly at the clear‚ black sky. The wind was whistling through the weeping trees‚ sounding like someone whispering. Anything could not protect against the deathly cold. The only place that hadn’t been tampered with was the heavily wooden‚ daunting‚ isolated forest behind the village. No one had ventured in there for years. There are myths and tales about the creatures and

And then‚ in Act Three Scene Four‚ as Hamlet speaks to the Ghost‚ his mother‚ whom sees nothing‚ is made believe that her son is mad. Hamlet on the other hand feels differently. He asks his father’s ghost‚ “Do you not come your tardy son to chide‚ / that‚ lapsed in time and passion‚ lets go by‚ / The important acting of your dread command?” Clearly Hamlet too feels the anguish of

You’ll remember that in Act I Hamlet meets his father’s ghost‚ who tells his son that he was murdered by Claudius. Hamlet is full of resolve to do the right thing‚ but he makes no attempt to kill Claudius until Act III‚ Scene IV. (That attempt is frustrated when he mistakenly believes Claudius is praying.) Why

    Hamlet’s Downfall Revenge is sweet. However‚ the complete opposite applies to Hamlet. According to the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary‚ the definition of revenge is to inflict hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong done to someone else. Revenge is a central theme in William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet‚ however‚ is especially evident in the main character‚ young prince Hamlet. In fact‚ it is Hamlet’s prolonged pursuit of revenge‚ not insanity‚ that leads to his downfall. Although it may be questionable

    his downfall. His doubt clouding his mind rendered his ability to act rationally and immediately. When Hamlet is approached by the king’s ghost‚ he doubts whether the ghost is his father or a devil‚ he says‚ “the spirit I have seen/may be a devil and the devil hath power” (2.2.627-629). He overthinks the existent of the ghost as he is uncertain that the ghost is actually his dead father or a devil playing with his mind. This influences his delay to kill the new king‚ Claudius. When Hamlet finally

    this claim as the nature of relativity in Shakespeare’s Hamlet lies in the agendas and experience present within Hamlet and the Ghost. Within the scope of the essay‚ Levin is correct when he claims that there can be no clear answer as Hamlet and the Ghost both believe Gertrude is guilty‚ opening the door to an unfiltered agenda. Unbeknownst to both Hamlet and the Ghost‚ they could very well be distorting information without knowing it‚ allowing their conclusions to be faulty and the actions thereafter

Sethe is the most severely haunted throughout the book‚ both by her past and by Beloved. Her past haunts her with what happened to her and what she did. She was beaten so badly that

In both soliloquies‚ his desire and drive to kill Claudius is “prompted to [his] revenge by heaven and hell” (2.2.547). His thoughts of revenge derive from seeing his father’s thought to be spirit in purgatory. The ghost that visited Hamlet may be the “devil” that “assume[d] a pleasing shape” (2.2.561-562) by making himself appear as
