thematic concern of Hamlet from the opening and continues throughout the play. On a political level‚ corruption is explored through the dissolute nature of the Danish court. This reflects the contextual concerns of Shakespeare’s world with the belief in the Divine Right of Kings.

When I started to plan my presentation‚ I had a hard time deciding what‚ exactly‚ I was going to say. I had started with the idea that I would just basically go over the main points in my paper in the order I wrote them in. I had a hard time getting anywhere with that idea.
