Hamlet‚ the seven deadly sins are shown throughout the play often in the form of symbolism and wordplay. Shakespeare seems to have intentionally added this into the play as an underlying theme. He uses a play on words many times to show the true intentions of the character to the audience but still keep it hidden from another character in the play.
