Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, two characters are presented as polar opposites. In all actuality, they couldn’t be more alike. Claudius and Hamlet, according to the plot, led us to believe nonsensically that they are poles apart, “A little more than kin and less than kind” (NF, Act1, Scene2). The nature of the play fools us to believe that the relationship is in turmoil; therefore they must be different in character and nature. A contrast and comparison of characters must go beyond a superficial…

Hamlet’s indecision is first mentioned by Lidz when he acknowledges Hamlet’s fluctuating emotions and trust towards Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, as Hamlet tells them he is mad when they first meet, but later seems to confide in them. This constant indecision, Lidz postulates, has stagnated Hamlet’s action as he cannot decide whether or not to kill his uncle, until the actors arrive…

I disliked the fact that Hamlet over thought every little thing and was unable to kill Claudius when the many opportunities he was given arose. But when it came to killing Polonius, and sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths, after finding his own letter ordering his death, that was easy and he acted on impulse. Which is what made me question Hamlet’s sanity. Was Hamlet enjoying acting insane and subconsciously did not want it to end therefore not really wanting to kill the king?…

suggested that Ophelia exits reality and loses her mind. Hamlet’s corruption is thought by many characters to be the birthplace of her insanity. Nevertheless, whether considered a suicide or an accident, this hysteria was the means to her end. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern can not be forgotten in this whirlwind of torment and misfortune. Even though these two friends were not in Hamlet’s original plot for revenge, in the end he was too corrupt and irrational to understand the impact of his…

keep her knowledge of her first husband's murder a secret from her second husband, who is the killer of the first. During this sole scene, Hamlet and Gertrude grow together as characters. This making their deaths even more tragic. When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern arrive in Act two Scene two, Gertrude talks to them, saying they have been brought to her because of how Hamlet "hath talked of you,". She shows sincerity in her concern for her son, but even after Hamlet has talked to her about what…

Claudius often times commits immoral acts like: killing his brother, spying on Hamlet, trying to kill Hamlet and so on. When Claudius and Gertrude call upon Hamlet’s childhood friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to help them with someone. Claudius speaks to them that, “to gather, so much as from occasion you may glean, / whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus/ that, opened, lies within our remedy.” (2.2.16-18). Gertrude and Claudius…

Hamlet, a tragedy by William Shakespeare is about how corruption destroyed Denmark.
