Humanities 1100 9/6/12 Romantic and passionate love To me Romantic and Passionate love is a huge deal that most people take for granted. People today don’t seem to put as much thought into saying “I love you” to someone as they should and don’t really have to same definition of love as some of these poets do.

Therefore‚ a man such as Claudius‚ from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet‚ a cold-blooded murderer and a ruthless manipulator‚ who uses "rank" deeds to usurp the thrown is in direct violation with the Elizabethan societal norms‚ and hence he is an evil character.
