Hamlet’s first soliloquy in Act I‚ scene ii‚ lines 133-164 is a passionate and startling passage that strongly contrasts to the artificial dialogue and actions that he portrays to his uncle Claudius throughout the remainder of the play. This soliloquy serves to reveal Hamlet’s melancholia and the reasons for his dispair in an outpouring of anger‚ disgust‚ sorrow‚ and grief through which he explains how everything in his life seems futile and miserable. He mourns the death of his father‚ is sickened

true character through all of his soliloquies. Hamlet is an extremely complex character‚ likely the most complex character Shakespeare has ever made.

In the sixth soliloquy of Hamlet‚ written by Shakespeare‚ Hamlet finally begins to realize his procrastination. In this soliloquy we discover how Hamlet is purely a follower; he needs to compare himself to another person in order to realize his own flaws. This constitutes his madness as he is seemingly an intelligent man‚ as suggested by some of his previous soliloquies‚ but yet is unable to see his own wrongdoings until after it becomes too late. In his sudden realization‚ he confesses his procrastination

The bird in the poem dies nobly‚ “A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself” the bird dies with dignity.

The reason for this is because Americans have the same interest at this time period. Then it transitions to the people from the higher class building barriers between them and the people from the middle and lower class. As the story goes on‚ Levine comments on

The soliloquy that had the most impact on me by helping me understand Hamlet was from act four‚ scene four. The soliloquy occurs near the end of the play when Hamlet is away from home‚ observing Fortinbras’s army in battle. As Hamlet watches brave soldiers fight for their king’s honour‚ he critically examines his own character‚ questions himself and plans for his future. Personally‚ this soliloquy had a significant impact on me because Hamlet experiences a wide variety of emotions. At the beginning

about the murder is clear. Macbeth debates with his inner self in a soliloquy. Shakespeare often uses soliloquies to show Macbeth ’s inner thoughts‚ for example in Act 2 Scene 1 and Act 3 Scene 1.

We see directly into their thought process. In the first few lines of this soliloquy‚ Macbeth considers "If it were done when ’tis done‚ then ’twere
