Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

There has been a constant struggle between conformity and rebellion in which heroes like Hamlet will rise above mundane expectations and transform to higher princibles. Through choas and deception in the play Hamlet by Williams Shakespeare, Hamlet finds the line between appearance vs. reality. Hamlet struggles constantly "to be or not to be" and through the many puns, solioquies, and attitudes in his speech pattern we see a  rebellious side of Hamlet. Indeed, the speech patterns in the Ghost and Hamlet possess comparisons in uncontrolled emotions of rage and passion while also exemplifying their differences of a serious vs. sweet personality. Also, these similarities and differences feed off of each other intensifying these emotions even more!
