There are many deeply hidden topics in William Shakespeare's works. One of his greatest works is the story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Not only are Shakespeare's words significant, but there are also many later literary passages that contain important interpretations of the events of this play. These works on Hamlet are extremely useful for the reader. I found four of these works and will use them as sources in this essay. The first source is "The Case of Hamlet's Conscience", by Catherine Belsey, and focuses on the theme of Hamlet's revenge in the play. The second source is "'Never Doubt I Love': Misreading Hamlet", by Imtiaz Habib, and explains a lot of information about Hamlet's love for Ophelia. The third source is “Shakespeare’s Hamlet, III.i.56—88,” by Horst Breuer, and it talks in depth about the issue of suicide in Hamlet. The fourth and final source is "Shakespeare's Hamlet 1.2.35-38", by Kathryn Walls, and describes the significance of the role the Ghost plays throughout Hamlet. There are many different and confusing parts to Hamlet and the best way to fully understand the play is to understand all of these parts. By understanding every tiny detail of the work, it creates a different perspective on the work for the reader. In this essay I will explain these confusing topics, as well as explain why the sources are useful and what information they can bring. By the end of this essay, the reader will have a complete understanding and appreciation of the play Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Let's start by talking about how Shakespeare uses the other characters in the play as foils to the character of Hamlet. There are three distinct characters that are used as... in the center of the card... have been poisoned. Finally, Hamlet dies due to his own inaction in avenging his father's death (V.II.). All of these characters died in some way due to suicide. Suicide is a difficult topic to discuss because it relies heavily on personal opinions. Shakespeare uses this topic effectively throughout the play and the reader can understand the information that is given. To continue on the topic of suicide, I will insert some information from my latest source, "Shakespeare's Hamlet 1.2.35-38", by Kathryn Muri. (Gather information from the source and link it to the book.) Hamlet is much funnier when everything read is understood. Works Cited Shakespeare, William.
