Shakespeare's Ambition In Macbeth

Hamlet feels betrayed by his mother and feels like he can 't trust anyone. Shakespeare gives Hamlet these struggles in the play to amplify the mental and psychological events that make the reader feel bad about what all happened to Hamlet. Hamlet eventually kills Claudius like his father told him to, but only did it after his mother, Gertrude, drank the poison that Claudius meant to give Hamlet. This is a result of external action from all the sorrows that was building up in Hamlet’s life. This brings us to our next character, Gertrude, Claudius’s wife and Hamlets

At the dawn of Edward 's speech, Shakespeare utilizes metonymy referring his tongue as the willingness to do something, during his opening line, "Have I a tongue to doom my brother’s death,". Shakespeare starts off with Edward blaming himself, responsible for the death of his brother, this gives the audience the first impression of his depression where he is feeling guilty and dejected. In this passage we gaze on the beginning of Shakespeare 's style of pathos in action as he conveys a feeling of sorrow for Edward to the reader, revealing that he did regret what he has done in his past however is inadequate to do anything about it now. In addition, Edward expresses emotions of pity towards the character Clarence and emphasizes his statements that claim Clarence is innocent yet he was the one to sentence him to death. Edward also shows a sense of selfishness as he killed Clarence so that he could assure the safety of his own family line.

After the three murderers killed Banquo, they go to recount the news to Macbeth. Showing no reaction to the news of his former comrade’s death, Macbeth only thinks of himself: “Then comes my fit again. I had else been perfect” (Shakespeare 99). Macbeth, asking if Fleance is dead, is only tormented after hearing that Fleance escaped and remains a threat to his crown. Macbeth’s quick transition of concern from Banquo to Fleance exhibits his disregard to the people close to him, a distinct behavior often tied to sociopathic people.

In the the beginning of the novel, Romeo is seen as sad and lonely. Romeo can’t have the girl he wants which causes him to become mopey and melancholy. This is shown when Romeo's father says, “... and private in his chamber pens himself, shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out and makes himself a artificial

Perhaps this is why Hamlet feigns madness; he realizes that he lacks the emotions to avenge his father 's death. Indeed, Hamlet does go temporarily insane in Act I, scene ii, and it is during this time when he is able to act out of pure sensation, with no thoughts about the consequences of what he says or does (e.g. when he undeservingly criticizes Ophelia). However, in uniting his emotions and reason, Hamlet is careful to avoid the temptation to commit suicide because if one commits suicide to escape life 's pain, then one is damned to eternal suffering in hell. To Hamlet (and most other people of the 1600s), suicide is morally wrong.

Without realizing it, he finds out Claudius has gotten up and walked out. Comes to find out he was very angry with Hamlet for making that play and hurting his mother. Hamlet begins to be very heartbreaking towards Ophelia because he starts acting as if he doesn’t really care about her and starts joking with her Lach 4 in a mean way. He starts telling you that her beauty has nothing He also starts questioning whether life is better or if death would be easier. The ghost telling Hamlet about his father being murdered changes the way he thinks about his own life.

Hamlet’s grief is apparent to the audience, as he begins lamenting about the uselessness of life. He depicts his “solid flesh”, urging it to melt and “resolve itself into a dew (129-130). Shakespeare emphasizes his grief - he truly is upset. Hamlet even calls to “the Everlasting”, wishing he had not deemed “self-slaughter” to be a sin (131-132). His cries “O, God!

The speech Macbeth gives about the death of his wife, shows the lack of humanity that gets shown throughout the play. Macbeth has become insensitive towards the tragic news that he has just received, all because of his thirst for power. He has separated the person he once was into the treacherous traitor that he is now. “Life is nothing more than an illusion,” is what Macbeth says, it shows that his ideology has been warped due to taking the future for granted. He has been told by the three witches, what going to happen, but not how, so he has become jaded about certain events that will transpire.

Whenever the demon feels despair he remembered his deviser " an in the bitterness of my heart, I curse[s] him"(177). He senses that there is nobody who care about him and his inventor will never welcome him. Because of loneliness he begins to resentful toward Frankenstein. At the end when then Frankenstein died, monster cried with sincerely and wholehearted. He says, " I shall die, and what I now feel be no longer felt"(Shelley 197).

After that Hamlet gets frightened of the idea of death and it propels Hamlet’s realization that death eliminated the difference between people, more over Hamlet’s only thoughts about death that it is agony for lower classes people but when it comes to the royal family like him the king and his family walk straight into heaven without any judgment unlike the regular people. There is also the theme of Madness which plays a significant role in Hamlet. Throughout the play Hamlet pretends to be mad in front of people to deceive them into thinking that he is harmless while probing his father’s death and involvement of his uncle Claudius. In (act 2 scene 2) the bumbling Polonius says “though this be madness, yet there is method in it”. The assertion of Polonius is right and wrong at the same time, because Polonius believes that Hamlet acts mad as he is in love with “Ophelia”, but Hamlet’s behavior became more erratic, because his mad acting cause him to lose his grip on reality.
