In literature‚ the way language is selected and crafted inevitably influences our emotional journey. Shakespeare is regarded as having mastery in his language from the sonnets to the plays‚ particularly in Hamlet. This play tells the story of Hamlet‚ the prince of Denmark‚ seeking the truth about his father’s death‚ then plotting revenge on his father’s murderer‚ Claudius‚ his uncle and now King. Shakespeare’s language in Hamlet powerfully explores the idea that reality is not as simple as we perceive

They included everyone who was not a patrician‚ senatorial or equestrian class‚ and were sometimes just called plebs. They were working citizens of Ancient Rome such as: farmers‚ bakers‚ builders or craftsmen who worked hard to support their families.
