.... the king by placing poison in the sleeping man's ear. The king dies from the poisoning, and Claudius exclaims that the king must have been bitten by a snake and died from the venom. “The serpent that did sting thy father's life now wears the crown.” (p 29) It is the perfect crime except that young Hamlet gets wind of the evil deed from the ghost of his father. Hamlet is told that the only way to put his father's soul to rest is to right the crime that was committed. So Hamlet sets his sights on proving that Claudius murdered his father. Hamlet devises an ingenious plan .....

.... that his body or rather flesh has no purpose or use in the world. Hamlet then angers at the fact that he cannot commit suicide because it is against the law. Hamlet goes on to express how much he hates the world and finds it useless. Lines 136-141-“ O God, God, How stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on ’t, ah fie! ’Tis an unweeded garden That grows to seed Things rank and gross in nature possess it merely.” He believes there to be so many things going on in the world around him, yet he sees nothing good coming from it. In lines 1 .....

.... curiosity which corrupts his character. The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his degeneration of character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning reveals that she is a lovable person.

.... I don't think advertising is necessary because we can live with less products. It might even be better with no advertisements because T.V shows and basketball games would be on continuously without any commercial interruptions.

As one guest after another arrive James Joyce’s prose is eloquently translated into dialogue by director, Hutson and thus, Actresses Cathleen Delany (Aunt Julia) and Helena Carroll (Aunt Kate) create an element of suspense more so than in the words of Joyce. Upon his long awaited arrival, Gabriel’s greeting and idle chitchat is identical to that of the text. Joyce describes in depth the thoughts and feelings of Gabriel throughout the story, only it is m .....

.... he says: borrowing dulleth edge of husbandry. This above all, to thine own self be true,/ And it must follow, as the night the day,/ Thou canst not then be false to any man,"(I iii,ln 80) It is clear that his first priority, in talking to his son, is to teach him to act proper, to keep up his own appearance, and not to wish him well. From his later actions, one can see that Laetres honor is what concerens him the most, not his well being. When Polonius feels it necessary to send a spy to keep an eye on him, he once again expresses his lack of trust for anyone. He goe .....

.... not from shock, but from confusion over his sudden change of mood and attitude toward her since the Nunnery Scene. She of course has no idea of the state he is in, and it is possible that she thinks his condition has indeed been caused by her following her father's instructions and refusing to see him. In the conflict between her love for Hamlet and her duty of obedience to her father's orders, she grants to Polonius' wishes. Hamlet, however, is less obedient to the orders of the ghost, his father. In essence, "pretty Ophelia," as Claudius calls her, is the most innocent .....
