Hamlet, a story of redemption, misconceptions, and tragedy. It is one of the many Shakespearean plays that consist of the elements of redemption, misconceptions, and tragedy. Although each of Shakespeare's plays are unique in their own way, they all revolve around the same elements. This is not necessarily bad because this exposure to these themes allows the reader to better understand the mindset of characters such as Hamlet.
Parallels can be drawn between characters such as Hamlet and Romeo. For example, both characters were more willing to face death then exile. They both are also examples of how a vendetta can turn into a feud, and from there, into blood lust that hurts all in their path.
I appreciate you reading this, whomever does. I would also appreciate POSITIVE feedback, because no-one has ever done so for anything I have posted. Here is a final thought for everyone:
“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
I read your previous blog and understood what Ms. Hill means. I like this revised version over the old one that seemed to be 'tunnel vision.'
ReplyDeleteYet, this new blog, sheds your perspective in an even more appropriate light, because it doesn't sound as aggressive as the previous one and it shows you've read. But I would like for you to support your point with facts and quotations from the plays you are using for future references, that way you won't get struck down like I am doing to you right now.
Like I said, great blog post, just support it and keep it sounding enlightening.
dont worry john i understand your point of view being that the i also see the similar themes in Shakespeares tragedies betrayel, love, and eventually death. most of the themes do revolve around themselves so that anyone may understand within the victorian age so that each person can be able to understand within that era.
ReplyDeleteYou know, this is some good insight. John, you have a point when you said that Shakespeare has parallels within each of his plays, especially the Tragedies. The final quote you provided is so true...
ReplyDeleteGood job, John! refreshing perspective, indeed :)
