Hamlet Interview Analysis
Swensen: Thank you Prince Hamlet of Denmark and Prince Fortinbras of Norway for attending this interview. The public is anxious about the matters regarding both your royal status, political aspirations, and the death of each of your fathers. (Pause)… Young Hamlet, the entire country of Denmark shares your grief at the passing of your father, how are you coping with such a loss?
Hamlet: First of all, thank you Kristen for having me here tonight, it is such an honor. I have loved and admired my father for all my life and to know that his presence is gone breaks my heart. However, I do not believe my father’s death was by accident and “I doubt some foul play” (1.2.278).
Swensen: That is rather a bold statement to make regarding the murder of your father. Prince Hamlet, …show more content…
I will invade the lands that King Claudius holds and shall avenge the death of my father. There is nothing that would bring me more joy than to watch Denmark fall at my hand.
Swensen: That is very interesting Fortinbras, we wish you well on your future endeavors. Now, our last question for the night is about the election going on in America right now. How do you both feel about each candidate?
Hamlet: In my opinion, Donald Trump is racist and Hillary’s emails do not sound pleasant, so I think I would vote for Gary Johnson.
Swensen: How is Trump a racist Prince Hamlet?
Hamlet: It is quite simple; Donald Trump wants to deport all Mexicans.
Swensen: But Hamlet, what did Trump specifically say that is deemed racist?
Hamlet: Obviously one can infer that since Donald wants to build a wall, it automatically makes him a racist towards Mexicans.
Swensen: Thanks for the input Hamlet. Fortinbras, how do you feel about the election in America?
Fortinbras: Hillary Clinton should rot and prison and Donald J. Trump shall bring law and order to his country as I will to Norway.
Swensen: Alright folks, that is all we have for tonight. Thank you Hamlet and

    Essay On The Struggle For Revenge In Shakespeare's Hamlet

    Hamlet is cursed by the ghost of his father coming back and haunt him by dictating Hamlet to avenge his horrible murder. Since he is naturally both a thinker and a reasoner, Hamlet questions whether the ghost is really his father. The self-examination causes a delay in Hamlet’s avenge-seeking plans. Moreover, Hamlet displays signs of depression since his mother did not mourn her husband’s death for very long before remarrying, ironically to her husband’s murderer. The ethical concerns of Hamlet are obvious when the queen tells Hamlet: "If it be, why seems it so particular with thee?" (Hamlet 1.2. 76) Hamlet disputes Gertrude’s charge that he is being hypocritical, "Seems, madam? Nay, it is, I know not ‘seems’…"…

    Hamlet (Dont Read Got Off the Internet)

    Hamlet, Prince of Denmark has remained the most perplexing, as well as the most popular, of William Shakespeare’s tragedies. Whether considered as literature, philosophy, or drama, its artistic stature is universally admitted. To explain the reasons for its excellence in a few words, however, is a daunting task. Apart from the matchless artistry of its language, the play’s appeal rests in large measure on the character of Hamlet himself. Called upon to avenge his father’s murder, he is compelled to face problems of duty, morality, and ethics that have been human concerns through the ages. The play has tantalized critics with what has become known as the Hamlet mystery, that of Hamlet’s complex behavior, most notably his indecision and his reluctance to act.…

    Bernie Sanders Pros And Cons

    It occurs every four years, the United States is in an election cycle. During this campaign season, however, has been unlike any election ever taken place in modern history. Beginning with a large pool of candidates, the primary elections, primarily among the Republican party took an extremely negative unexpected turn. Many voters feel that the remaining candidates for both Democratic and Republican party are very disappointing. The two parts appear to be strongly divided and in deep turmoil. Who has inspired me as a voter, and who has put up the best, and most honest fight to be in office is Bernie Sanders…

    First And Second Lady Rhetorical Analysis

    Son, I can see clearly that you accompanied the mission, but ours just started. The President, the First and Second Lady, our loved ones in our administration, our families and most of our fellow Americans went through a lot for the past seven years to call the mission accomplished. If we can win wars like we did in the State of South Carolina, then our mission will continue until eternity. Elizabeth, Bernie and I were fighting to be your guest tonight. I am glad I won the coin toss. It's been a long time for you and I. I am agreeing with most of what you have been indicating. You know me well enough, if I don't I will inform you. In fact, I am loving it. Loving it also stands for the Second Lady. As you already know, I have spent decades in and out of the chamber trying to make this great nation of ours, the Land of Peaceful Fighters heaven on Earth.…

    Controversy: The Rise And Fall Of The Republican Party

    Thank you so much, Moderator, for having us today, and the Republican party for taking part in this debate. The entire Federalist political party stands behind me when I say that this debate proved, once and for all, that the Federalist party is made of true and genuine people who speak honestly and are proud of their actions. With the Federalist party in charge, this growing nation will have a strong central government, with an evolving Constitution, where the noble and well-informed will leave no room for selfish decisions. The Republican party, however, had only strengthened my feeling of doom for the future lest this corrupted form of government ever take place. Where states are separated, industrialism vanishes, and Thomas Jefferson is…

    Characters in Hamlet and Hamlet S Uncle

    In life there are various unpleasant and distressing situations that people have to go through, but do not like to face. One of them is death. Death is a fact of life. Regardless of how wonderful, kind-hearted, and modest or extremely horrible a person is, death is inevitable. Being a teenage girl, I know one of the things I do not like to think about is the death of my parents. It is unquestionably difficult to think about how someone can be taken away from this world in just a blink of an eye. In spite of how great one’s love is for another person, it does not stop a person from dying. That being said, one of the most painful facts of life that Hamlet went through was the death of his father. Although the play never truly introduced King Hamlet, it was so clear that the King and Prince had an exceptionally close relationship. Hamlet not only looked at King Hamlet as a fatherly figure, but as a role model and inspiration to those in Denmark. In addition, at the time, Hamlet did not even know how has father had died. There were many questions still waiting to be uncovered, but Prince Hamlet felt as if he had nothing. With his father not around, Hamlet feels as if he does not belong and is depressed for months. He wishes as if he could disappear and that the world is meaningless. “How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!” (1364). Thinking life is featureless; Hamlet would highly consider killing himself if it was not a sin.…

    Lesson 4 Speech

    I have gone through a lot of things in my life. Many people would not believe so, as I am a pretty blessed child with my father the king, my mother the queen, and me of course, the prince. My life really started to go downhill when my father passed away. Wait, he did not just “pass away”, he got murdered. By my uncle. Why you may ask? Well I’m not too sure. It probably had to do with the fact that now, after two months, my mother married him. He wanted the throne and to rule the town. I wanted revenge, and that is all I wanted. I started seeing ghosts and that started frightening me. I thought I was going insane. The ghost, who ended up being my father, told me to kill my uncle, to get the revenge I strived for. But I couldn’t. I wanted to be very cautious. I wasn’t really that type of person that goes around murdering people! Eventually I started to be abusive to my mother. I really regret that. But I was so mad at her for getting married to the one that killed her own husband! At this point, I accidently murdered my girlfriend’s dad, thinking that it was my disgusting brother. I realized that I was now the murderer that I never wanted to be. Her brother, of course got mad, and my uncle tried to convince him to kill me! We fought, and I thought it would be the winner. Little did I know, my uncles sword was laced with poison, and if it touched me, I’d die. I…

    Argumentative Essay On Republican Party

    Tabitha slipped back into the hot tub and slid into the seat facing William. “For the moment, that’s all well and good, but in the long run you’re going to have to let that go. The Republican Party is playing a key role in helping us establish the framework for what we have in place so far, and for what we’re building. We consider the Republican Party our syringe, but it’s not the vaccine - The Movement is the vaccine. Once we get going, we’re eventually going to scuttle the Republican Party just as thoroughly as we scuttle the Democrat Party. We need to make sure your allegiance is to your conservative principles, not to any party.”…

    Clearly this shows Hamlet grieving his father's death while showing hostility to the king and queen for being so deathly cold about the previous king's death. Also the readers can also see in Hamlet's opening dialogue, it shows that he still has not come to terms with his father's death and is still in the state of shock when we first see him.…
