Hamlet

Shakespeare employs different mannerisms and voices within each character that give meaning to each person and represent heavy symbols. For instance, Shakespeare gives a certain language/voice to Hamlet that displays his sorrow and bitterness. He often seems to be full of hatred and making sarcastic remarkes towards both the King and Queen: his dad and mom. Now, the King seems quite opposite of Hamlet - cold and calculating- where Hamlet often seems full of passion. Indeed, the King is ambitious, but seeks more in politics than does he in his own family - he mistreats Hamlet and disregards his mournings (a clear sign of heartlessness). Yet the Queen shows great love for both her son and husband, yet, she seems weak and shallow- whereas the King seems strong and certain. Also, Horatio, a friend of Hamlet is shown as very loyal to Hamlet through his helpful actions. In Hamlet lies massive and beautiful paradoxes that give way to a deeper meaning- one i've yet to find, but will hopefully give way deeper into this work.
