Setting

In literature, setting includes time, place, and period. Essentially everything that sets a moods for the story. Setting is a fundamental part of a story such as Hamlet. The obvious setting would be medieval denmark, but the important setting is the dark and dingy castle that the play takes place in. The dark setting helps illustrate the depressing and chaotic issues at hand. Everything fits together. The setting makes the play. Without it it would not be the same.

PLOT

The similarities regarding plot in "Pride and Prejudice" and "Hamlet" are that they both revolve around nerve racking situations and chaotic disaster. However similar they're plots may be, they're climax's are at completely different times. Hamlet's is at the end when everyone dies and justice is delivered, and Pride's climax is in the middle of the novel when Mrs. Bennet's children are running amok.

Hamlet essay review

After reading the comments on my essay, I believe a more thorough conclusion would have landed me a much higher grade mark. I neglected to unite my two body paragraphs in my conclusion.

INtro paragraph

Both the reality and the wish of dying young are exhibited in Athlete dying young and Ulyssess. While Housman utilizes a more formal tone to illustrate the fate of a boy who died before his great name faded, Lord Tennyson uses a more rustic and natural tone to tell the tale of an old yet accomplished man who wishes he had died while still in his prime.

Ozymandias Vs. Ponder

Both Ozymandias and Ponder have the theme of time in them. It's presence seems to be much stronger in Ozymandias then it is in Ponder. Ozymandias' whole point is that time can trump and defeat even the most powerful people and that time is completely still and stuck. Ponder on the other hand, refers to time in a much nicer way. He wants to take advantage of all the time he has. He doesn't take time for granted and feels as though every moment is precious.

Performance choice

Tony, Nick, and I performed the scene were Horatio, Bernardo, and Marcellus first encounter the ghost. We chose this part because it exhibits 2 different tonal changes and three different characters. Bernardo goes from self doubt to and "I told you so" tone. Marcellus goes from doubting that the goes exists to extremely surprised and frightened. I chose to have a very urgent and scared tone when i spoke.
