Shakespeare’s Hamlet is arguable the cornerstone of many of today’s media portrayals of the modern relationship. A struggle between the identity of himself, Hamlet, and the expectations set upon him by a partner, friends, family, and an entire kingdom would prove to be too great for Hamlet to bear. These perceptions would eventually cause Hamlet to go insane, and with no exceptional help from his own mother, and queen, Gertrude. Gertrude has a tremendous role in setting the tone for the play…

The two passages I chose from Hamlet are from Act 1 and Act 3. The first is spoken by the ghost of King Hamlet; the ghost tells Hamlet to revenge his murder by Claudius, lamenting how Claudius condemned him to Purgatory by murdering him before he had a chance to repent his sins. Within this monologue, love and revenge are the main themes, specifically revenge for the murder of a loved one. The second monologue is spoken by Hamlet in the scene after Claudius stops the play and leaves. On his…

Hamlets’ treatment towards Gertrude (mother) is not unreasonable, but the way Hamlet treats Ophelia is a little harsh in the beginning when she is completely innocent. Further along through the play Hamlet’s treatment towards Ophelia can be considered reasonable since she basically decided to side with Claudius and Polonius. The way in which Hamlet treats Gertrude and Ophelia doesn’t seem to be a part of the misogyny in the culture. Hamlet does seem to possess a great hatred for women,…

Even though I do not consider Hamlet as a fat person, I believe the author’s idea that hamlet is fat is reasonable. By using the quotation from Gertrude and Ophelia, the author points out that they both imply Hamlet is fat. The author further proves his point by using “fat” that appears in other Shakespeare’s books. The author also mentions some historical evidence to prove his point. For example, the author mention that fat stands for weakness in Victorian era. All these evidences seem to be…
