Hamlet!!!!
For my essay on Hamlet i think im going to write about the relationship between death and going mad or murder and going mad. There are many times through out the play, three to be exact, where it shows Hamlet, Ophilia, and Larates, going "mad" when there dad's die. I found that they didnt go "mad" when they heard that they died, the thing that set them off was when they heard how they were killed or murded. This can tie into them wanting revenge on each other. Hamelt wanted to kill Claudious at a time when he was doing somehting bad so he would go to hell, thats why he didnt do it when he was praying that night. Larates wanted to get revenge on Hamlet with the sword fight. Larates and Claudious talked together and planned to kill Hamlet.

Emy,
ReplyDeleteBecause we already had a chance to talk about this in class, I'll hold off my comments until I see your first draft. I think you're off to a good start, and I'm anxious to see what you come up with (just be sure to GROUND your analysis in the actual language of the play--your first order of business ought to be to go back and locate those passages which will be most useful to you in developing and defending your thesis!).
