    Every character in the book is great with characteristics that made them seem so life like. Lucy is a strong female character with the attitude of Independence, but is overly so. It fact one of her main flaws in her love of George, which rather endears you to the character. Tarkington skillfully makes the reader loath George and wish for him to be taken down, and by the end feel sorry for him. I thought Tarkington also did well with Wilbur Minafer, in making him rather forgettable and quiet, until after he died. One of my favorite moments was when George reached his absolute low in forbidding his mother from seeing Eugene, and justified himself in believing he was the Hamlet to save to his mother from an evil suitor. This comparison made me start to feel for the hero of this tragedy, although I still hated his actions.…

    Hamlet, having suffered a sudden of death of a loved one, had to watch the marriage of his mother “with wicked speed” to his uncle, Claudius (Shakespeare 31). Grief stricken and “taking (his mother’s actions) to heart”, it would make sense that the sarcastic Hamlet coped with his feelings through acting without care (Shakespeare 27). Horatio, Hamlet’s friend “from Wittenberg,” would have a genuine relationship with Hamlet, demonstrated by how he decided to tell him about the ghost at all and his loyalty throughout the entire play (Shakespeare 31). Knowing Hamlet for a while, Horatio would be understanding of Hamlet’s method of grieving, but would be annoyed at the lack of interest of what he has to say, since he knows how important it is. Hamlet,…

    If a sketch was to represent Hamlet and his dynamic personality it would have to be where he is comparing his face to a skull. A picture tells a thousand words is a very famous saying, well the same goes for this one. It relates to him in many ways, first and for most it represents his thought of committing suicide. For instance he starts by saying “to be, or not to be”. Moreover her explains “For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause.” This represents his mental state. Furthermore he is not well mentally. Overall, this graphic is a perfect illustration of Hamlet and his…

    If I were to choose one of the characters from Hamlet it would be the main character, Hamlet. For centuries he continues to amaze and fascinate its readers, perhaps because of the mysteriousness of his character, as well as the relevance of the topics covered in his monologues. His famous monologue beginning with "to be or not to be ...", is probably the most cited page in the history of literature. Hamlet is an enigmatic character, and even the most astute reader may say that he/she hasn’t really understood the character, and the reasons for which it acts .the speeches and actions of Hamlet lend themselves to numerous interpretations.…

    He possesses a level of knowledge demonstrated throughout the play, while advising Shakespeare on what he believes he should do or not do. The first sign of this is when Horatio and Hamlet encounter the ghost of King Hamlet. "Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin 's fee, and for my soul, what can it do to that"? (Shakespeare 653) Hamlet has already made up his mind about following the ghost, and finding out what it wants. Horatio pleads for Hamlet not to go, but he doesn 't listen anyway. Although Horatio couldn 't sway Hamlet from following the ghost, at least he was concerned and made Hamlet take the time to think about it…

After King Hamlet's death he appeared as a ghost moving through the castle at one o'clock every morning. When the guards and Horatio, Hamlet's best friend, noticed this ghostly figure, Horatio quite intelligently believed that he could get the ghost to speak with Hamlet. The next day the two guards, Horatio, and young Hamlet were present to speak to the ghost of King Hamlet. The ghost told Hamlet that he was murdered by Claudius, his brother, who had been sworn in as the new king and married his wife, Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude. After hearing this, young Hamlet was asked to avenge his father’s death, but in doing so his mother was to remain unharmed.

    Hamlet Father and Sons

    King Hamlet must have been a good father for his son to be so devoted and loyal to him. It almost seems that the Prince made an idol of his father. In Prince Hamlet's first soliloquy he described his father as an excellent king, a god-like figure and a loving husband. It is strange that the Prince did not convey information about being a loving father. It is left for us to infer that there must have been a special bond between father and son for the Prince to be so willing to carry out retribution against his father's murderer.…

    Hamlet Second Soliloquy

    • 1803 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In the last scene of act I Hamlet is told by the ghost that his father has been murdered by Uncle Claudius, the brother of the deceased king. Hamlet once mournful and grim turns revengeful, he promises the ghost to “sweep” to revenge. But he is tormented with doubts. The ghost has taken its toll on Hamlet but has not been convincing enough, he cannot fully trust it given that it might also be an evil spirit willing to make him change course, misleading him to murder an innocent man and be “damned” as Hamlet puts it in his words full of fear and anxiety. For such reasons Hamlet conceives a plan, he is going to wear a mask of madness, or put on ‘the antic disposition’, which Hamlet considers will make things easier for him: Hamlet under the mask of madness intends getting people talk more freely in his presence and thus he might easily find the truth about his uncle. But, far from working his plan turns to be counterproductive. Soon, Hamlet draws even more attention to himself, the royal court is intrigued by his strange behavior and King Claudius summons Hamlet’s school friends Rosencratz and Guildernstern asking them to go spy on him. Hamlet is suspicious of his own friends and soon conceives a new idea to trap his uncle: the reenactment of his father’s murder under the cover of a play called “The Murder of Gonzago”. In this particular soliloquy, which comes right after, the audience is waiting to see a more determined Hamlet ready to avenge his father’s murder: indeed it has been a while since Hamlet promised to act. Instead we are presented with an even more confused character, not only uncertain of the world surrounding him but also himself.…

    Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare, is full of many characters that often display many different archetypical characteristics.

While speaking to them he makes a very thoughtful and reflective speech. This speech shows his insight on what he believes of mankind and also contradicts the archetypical characteristics Hamlet is displaying in Act Two.…
