Hamlet: Appearance Vs. Reality
Number of words: 936 | Number of pages: 4.... Claudius is the one who murders elder Hamlet. We see the proof of this in
Claudius' soliloquy when he appears to be praying; "O, my offence is rank, it
smells to heaven./It hath the primal eldest curse upon't/A brother's murder"
(Shakespeare III336-38).
Another love which Claudius fakes is the love he has towards his nephew and
stepson, Hamlet. In his first speech to his court Claudius tells Hamlet not to
leave for school but to remain in Denmark; "It is most retrograde to our
desire/And we do beseech you, bend you to remain/Here in the cheer and comfort
of our eye" (Shakespeare I2114-117). However, later in the pl .....

without the special effects in action- adventure shows, all that is left are
shows that lack enthusiasm. For example, many children's programs are alike.

happy land. They are threatened by bad people who capture one of the happy

Hamlet: Many Interpretations
Number of words: 385 | Number of pages: 2.... from one's own interpretations of Hamlet.
Following two renound interpretations of Hamlet, two major conclusions can
be made. First, Shakespeare's tragedy is a work of surpassing interest and
genius, and the tragic hero is universally attractive and fascinating.
Second, only the naive will start with the assumption that there is one

direct interpretation based upon a major generalization and to ignore
passages in the play which do not fit into the argument. But such a
presentati .....

are both female and children. By giving the pointing finger to the girls,
they suddenly have the highest status of any in the town, with as much
responsibility and reverence as the minister. They believe that this is
