Criticism on Hamlet
**HAMLET** [189] Act I. Scene i. (I. i. 63.) He smote the sleaded Polack on the ice. Polack was in that age, the term for an inhabitant of Poland: Polaque, French. As in a translation of Passeratius's epitaph on Henry III of France, published byCamden : Whether thy chance or choice thee hither brings, Stay, passenger, and wail the best of kings. This little stone a great king's heart doth hold, Who rul'd the fickle French and Polacks bold: So frail are even the highest earthly things. Go, passenger, and wail the hap of kings. Act I. Scene i. (I. i. 138.) If thou hast any sound. The speech of Horatio to the spectre is very elegant and noble, and congruous to the common traditions of the causes of apparitions. Act I. Scene i. (I. i. 153 foll.) Whether in sea or fire, &c. According to the pneumatology of that time, every element was inhabited by its peculiar order of spirits, who had dispositions different, according to their various places of abode. The meaning therefore is, that all spirits extravagant, wandering out of their element, whether aerial spirits visiting earth, or earthly spirits ranging the air, return to their station, to their proper limits in which they are confined. [190] Act I. Scene ix. (I. v. 154) Swear by my sword. Mr. Garrick produced me a passage, I think, in Brant ôme, from which it appeared, that it was common to swear upon the sword,
Scene by Scene - Hamlet.
Scene by Scene "Revenge should know no bounds." -- Claudius Hamlet, our hero, is the son of the previous king of Denmark, also named Hamlet ("Old Hamlet", "Hamlet Senior" as we'd say), who has died less than two months ago. Hamlet remembers his father as an all-around good guy, and as a tender husband who would even make a special effort to shield his wife's face from the cold Danish wind. The day Hamlet was born, Old Hamlet settled a land dispute by killing the King of Norway in personal combat. How old is Hamlet? We have contradictory information. The gravedigger mentions that Hamlet is thirty years old, and that the jester with whom Hamlet played as a child, has been dead for twenty-three years. An thirty-year-old man might still be a college student. However, Ophelia is unmarried in an era when girls usually married in their teens, and several characters refer to Hamlet's "youth". So we might prefer to think that Hamlet is in his late teens or early twenties. And many people have seen Hamlet's bitter, sullen outlook at the beginning of the play as typical of youth. You'll need to decide that one for yourself. (I think "thirty" might be a mistake for "twenty". Richard Burbage, who played Hamlet first, was older than twenty, and perhaps the editor thought "twenty" must be wrong. You decide.) Hamlet was a college student at Wittenberg when his father died.

Affirmative Action
Affirmative Action "Affirmative action" means positive steps taken to increase the representation of women and minorities in areas of employment, education, and business from which they have been historically excluded. When those steps involve preferential selection -- selection on the basis of race, gender, or ethnicity -- affirmative action generates intense controversy. The development, defense, and contestation of preferential affirmative action has proceeded in two streams. One has been legal and administrative, as courts, legislatures, and executive departments of government have applied laws and rules requiring affirmative action. The other has been public debate, where the practice of preferential treatment has spawned a vast literature, pro and con. Often enough, the two streams have failed to make adequate contact, with the public quarrels not always very securely anchored in any existing legal basis or practice. The ebb and flow of public controversy over affirmative action can be pictured as two spikes on a line, the first spike representing a period of passionate debate that began around 1972 and tapered off after 1980, and the second indicating a resurgence of debate in the 1990s. The first spike encompassed controversy about gender and racial preferences alike. This is because in the beginning, affirmative action was as much about the factory, firehouse, and
The Portrayal of Shakespeare's Hamlet in Cinema
Chapter One Introduction This dissertation is an exploration of William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet, on film, looking into the beginnings and history of Shakespeare on film and studying three famous and very different films of Hamlet; Laurence Olivier's Hamlet made in 1948, Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet made in 1990 starring Mel Gibson in the title role and Kenneth Branagh's full text Hamlet made in 1996. I have decided to look at Hamlet on film because I believe film is relatively new medium and is interesting to see Shakespeare that was originally written for the stage to be brought to a mass audience in different and innovative ways. It is also important to discuss the different interpretations of Hamlet by different directors. I have chosen my three focus films because Olivier's was the first big cinematic work of Hamlet, Zeffirelli's was the first all-star Hollywood Hamlet and Branagh's was the first full text Hamlet. This therefore shows the various original ways in which Hamlet has been exposed to the film world. I also intend to illustrate why film is an appropriate medium for modern day Shakespeare fans and critics. My first chapter will outline and explore the dawn of cinema, the transition from theatre to cinema and the role of Shakespeare's plays in early cinema referring specifically to Hamlet. I will look at the earliest films of Hamlet and how they were
Hamlet Journal - rewriting key passages from the play
Dylane Jacobs Period 3 Dialectical Journals (The entries that include n have been inspired by words written in no fear Shakespeare. They may be similar to that of the ones on the website but they are my own thoughts with similar wording, because the entries I wrote were assisted by the ones on the internet. They were not copied, but they were used as a reference.) I.ii.a,b,i a. In this scene the king talks about his brother's death and the marriage to the queen. He also discusses the situation that is prevailing with Prince Fortinbras. The prince seeks revenge for his father's death and for the lost land. He is trying to conquer lost land. He sends representatives to go undermine the attack. Then the king's talks to Laertes and Polonius about Laertes request to leave to go to France to continue studying. The king grants his leave. Then the King addresses the situation with Hamlet. Hamlet is upset with the resent death of his father and the marriage of his mother to his uncle. Claudius tells Hamlet basically to get over himself. He also does not allow Hamlet to leave to go to England to study, he must stay with his family who needs him. The procession then leaves and Hamlet is left to wallow in his misery and ultimately considers suicide. Just then Horatio and Bernardo come in and tell of the ghost they have been seeing for the past few nights. Hamlet agrees to stand guard
Compare the Ways in which John Steinbeck and Thomas Hardy Explore the Theme of Loneliness in Of Mice and Men and The Withered Arm
Compare the Ways in which John Steinbeck and Thomas Hardy Explore the Theme of Loneliness in Of Mice and Men and The Withered Arm The two books have one clear element in common. The two authors, Steinbeck and Hardy, give us a great outlook on loneliness in its many forms. They communicate their ideas and thoughts to us in a very similar manner, despite being from very different times and walks of life. Of Mice and Men, is set and was written during the Great Depression of the United States of America in the early 1930's, in the Salinas Valley of California, tells us the story of George Milton and Lennie Small. The two migrant workers, bound together by an unusual and sure friendship, are in pursuit together of the "Great" American Dream - their dream. They will have their own land, be their own masters and no longer have to answer to anyone, and finally live in peace. On the other hand we have The Withered Arm, set in the early 19th Century as one of Hardy's Wessex Tales, where he lived all his life. Hardy tells us the tale of a young woman, Gertrude Lodge, as she begins her new life. However, things are not what they should have been as Gertrude is afflicted with an unknown blight, her happiness both threatened and later destroyed. She is not completely alone - her plight is intertwined with that of Rhoda Brook, who carries a great pain in her heart and a great power,

Between 1933 and 1945 Hitler and the Nazi Part were successful in their creation of a new united German Nation, or Volksgemeinshaft. Discuss the validity of this claim. Hitler realised the need to recreate German society to form an ideal Nazi community, in order to create his 1000-year Reich. His new society is more commonly known as the Volksgemeinshaft, which can be literally translated as people's community. Such society would be classless, a racially pure community, with no division where people had the same thinking, or views and they acted for the state, they all thought the same way, and Gleichschaltung was achieved. People in this community were also expected to share a common worldview and philosophy, or Welschauung, which made the Nazis hostile to outsiders or people who did not belong in the community. As a part of the drive to achieve social conformity the term Volksgenossen or the national comrades was adopted. In order to penetrate the idea of a Volksgemeinshaft, the people were expected to attend parades and speeches, which became a feature of the new public ritual. Ultimately, no regime which failed to survive even a generation could create a "social revolution" in the sense of a total transformation of society, as many of the Nazis ideals were contradictory, and the fact that no one can dictate on individuals beliefs and values. One of the most
Whos there? Theatrical review.
"Who's there?" Immediately the play has an impact on the audience. There is suspicion from the very first line, making us wonder what is there? The scene is set as a cold dark night, as characters Bernardo and Francisco guard the castle of a country which is preparing for war. They've been frightened from something extraordinary, and tonight ask Horatio to accompany them. From the first act, we can see these sentries value Horatio's opinion and obviously trust him. However we question why Horatio has been the only one confronted on this issue. Why is there so much secrecy? For a country on the brink of war, is a bad omen for Denmark? We are already involved in this scene, and it's important that Shakespeare uses a dramatic first scene to catch the audience's attention straight away. At the point where the Ghost enters, the drama heightens and Horatio questions the ghost, when he sees he's took the form of the late King Hamlet. "It is offended" Marcellus says, as the Ghost disappears. Now we wonder what does the ghost want, and what is its purpose? It doesn't seem to be speaking to the person the Ghost wants, as we realise when the Ghost appears once more and Horatio questions it once more. "If thou art privy to thy country's fate, Which, happily, foreknowing may avoid, O Speak;" Here suspicion and secrecy are linked, as Horatio is suspicious of the Ghosts nature, and
