Hamlet Act III Questions 1. In the play “Hamlet” written by William Shakespeare in Act III scene i‚ Claudius admits that he is suffering from his guilty conscious. “How smart a lash that speech doth give my conscience! The harlot’s cheek‚ beautied with plastering art‚ Is not more ugly to the thing that helps it Than is my deed to my most painted word. O heavy burden!” (III‚ i‚ (50-55). This confession doesn’t change my opinion of Claudius because he killed his own brother on purpose and took

today‚ is very different from William Shakespeare’s world. He lived in the 1600’s and part of the 1700’s. Shakespeare lived in a time where babies‚ just after three days‚ they were baptized. The way that they acted was very different from how we act today. Shakespeare lived in London‚ England while he was writing plays and acting in them. Back in that time‚ only guys were allowed to act in plays. The women were often seen as insignificant. They were often pushed out of the way‚ and ignored of their

On November 3rd‚ I saw the Herndon Middle School Production What’s in a Name. I saw the play after school and enjoyed many aspects of the production itself.

That is almost over 400 years ago! They never really wrote anything down or stored things like we do today. Everything that

Within the privacy of the sonnets‚ Shakespeare could effusively express a passion that the Elizabethan Era‚ with its social mores‚ stifled greatly as it frowned upon homosexuality. Given the freedom to express himself uninhibitedly‚ Shakespeare cast aside the homophobia of his age and inscribed love sonnets for another male‚ Mr. W
