Ghost Hunters

The play Hamlet was written by Shakespeare many years ago. It is a story about a teenager whose father was murdered by his uncle. The uncle then married Hamlet’s mother and this upsets Hamlet greatly. Since this play is a tragedy, there is also a lot of death in it. However, even though the play is very old, there are themes throughout the play that still relate with today’s society. Hamlet is a hypocrite throughout a lot of play and he is a deceitful liar. Hamlet, like many of us today, does…

In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, many people believe that Hamlet has gone insane as he acts like a mad man in many parts of the play. He is able to fool those closest to him that he has gone crazy.

Was he really insane or so fraught…

In Act five, King Lear states, “...for Gloucester’s bastard son was kinder to his father than my daughters [were to me]...” I completely disagree what King Lear is implying because Edmund was a worse child to his father, Gloucester, than Regan and Goneril to him. Edmund’s iniquitous behavior got him killed towards the end of the play King Lear by Shakespeare. His evil and wicked plans towards his father made him died. Edmund is the bastard son and his brother, Edgar, is the legitimate son of…

The book Hamlet was an okay book. Romeo and juliet is some much better. Shakespeare in general is really confusing and hard to understand not the person per say but just how he words things and how you have to guess what there saying to really understand the books. Most of his books are related to real life. The book hamlet relates to real life because royalty is the biggest thing you could be. People really depend on kings and queens to make the world better but that kind of hard when you…

While ghost hunting is now mainly used as fodder for reality tv shows and horror movies, it was once a prestigious profession that garnered more than enough business to financially support the brave few who dared to attempt it. The science of ghost hunting- called techno mysticism- relies heavily on a belief in spirits and the individuals who appear to have the natural ability to communicate with them, but is also dependent on scientific methods and tools; a combination of early suspicion,…

*SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* The Prestige by Christopher Priest is a science fiction mystery novel that is written partially as a narrative and partially in an epistolary style. The novel focuses on the rivalry between two magicians based in London during the time of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
