9 and 7

Hamlet finding out that Claudious is the murderer to his father triggers Hamlet's insanity into whole other level.  The news becomes a heavy burden on Hamlet forcing him to act mad where as sometimes he cannot  contain it; the  insanity leads Hamlet to be obsessed with the thought of blood thirsty  revenge of Claudious.  Hamlet's indecisiveness of revenge drives to the point of nuts thus him questioning himself non stop and repeating himself for reassurance. 

Hamlet's soliloquy clearly illustrates  that the death of Hamlet's father creates a sharp discomfort in Hamlet. The death of his fathers makes Hamlet emotionally unstable.  Hamlet concealing all his hurt and emotional distraught to himself during his soliloquys is a key reason to what drives him insane because the emotions continue to build and build until he eventually can not control it any longer driving him to make "mad"   choices.  Hamlet's choice of concealing his emotions is the last thing he should do and rather he should express or "vent" his emotions to one of his good friends such as Horatio.

7 and 14

Hamlet is not putting on an act at all. The guy is Insane.  Think about if Hamlet was really trying to take revenge would he actually fake that he is crazy, that would make no sense at all.  Acting crazy would put Hamlet under the microscope of Claudious and others giving reason to Claudious to send people to spie on Hamlet.   In addition just because Hamlet is clever does not mean he is sane! For example Hannibal Lector! He is a genious but also indeed crazy, a mad genius.  Hamlet tells his companions about his "antic dispostion" to make him seem less crazy then he is! He is very clever, covering up the fact that he is in fact insane by telling his friends its all a show! Hamlet like Hannibal Lector is a mad genius.  (obviously not as bad as Mr. Lector  but a  brilliant crazy man). Hamlet makes constant excuses to make himself look sane when in fact he is not! " I am but mad north - north -west when the wind is southerly i know a hawk from  a handsaw".  Hamlet implies he can contain his insanity when he actually cannot makes an excuse for himself covering up the he is Insane.

Hamlet

Larites and Polonious look down upon Orphelia and Hamlet's relationships in different ways. Larites is more concerned about Orphelia rushing into a relationship with Hamlet. While on the on the other hand Polonious is concerned that Hamlet is too insane and temporally in love with Orphelia. Larites warns Orphelia to not fall in love to fast and since he is a prince he is looking to marry someone not date. Polonious believes Hamlet is crazy temporarily in love and Is absolutely insane. He believes because he did not allow Orphelia respond to Hamlet's letters made him mad. Although Larites is right for Orphelia not to rush anything wihh Hamlet, Polomious the motor mouth, seams to be more accurate in that Hamlet is indeed insane and only temporally in love.

intro a work in progress

Shakespeare's Hamlet introduces different speech patterns in characters to define who the characters are.  While it is clear to the reader Hamlet is bothered by the lingering fact that his father is dead, he is emotionally unstable thus very indecisive in his speech patterns.  On the other Claudius is portrayed as a monster in power diminishing anything whom he speaks to.  Claudius is the threshold in which Hamlet must pass and Hamlet's indecisiveness is his obstacle.  Hamlet's indecision whether or not to take revenge torments him throughout the play illustrates the complexity in Hamlet's speech patterns.

The love song

I chose the line "No! I am nit Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be" I like this line because not only is the author being modest he is being real with him self showing his self conscious. Although he is being a little to self conscious a reader has to respect that he has a more realistic view on the world rather than a fake idealistic view of the world. Also he kicks off the stanza with the line contiously lowering him self down line by line. The suhtor clearly implies how self conscious in life diminishing his chances of a positive view on the world.

Coy mistress

In Andrew Marvell's Coy Mistress the author characterizes a man do whatever he can to sleep with this beautiful coy mistres. The author throughout the poem is making ba very convincing argument to the coy mistress inorder for her to "sleep with him. He expresses If it wasn't for time he would take her around the world. He is showing patience on one hand and on the other rushing her to make her desesion; the author is very clever and showing some complexity in his argument getting into the head of the coy mistress. In the first stanza he states if only there was enough time. In the second stanza he begins scare her by implying her that she won't always look this goosd and begin to to get old. "My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,". He fears her to believe that the if she decides not to sleep with him, her virginity will be taken from the worms in her grave. ". After putting time and the her virginity in perspective, he moves on in stanza three to argue her beauty is in her prime right now so she might as well make the most of her beauty.        "Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,". Her beauty is like the beginning of a new day she will not look any better in her life than right now and now is the time to lose her virginity. Author creates a very persuasive argument presented to the coy mistress that will be difficult for the coy mistress to pass up..

The line I chose from Andrew Marvell's Coy mistress is"        Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,". This line stands out to me because like how The author uses a very poetic type line in order to metaphorically compare the young of the day to the coy mistress sexual prime. I like how the author is implying go to bed with me now while your as fresh and beautiful as can be before you turn into an old hag. The line above is accurate in that time does go by fast and if you don't make the most of it while your at your prime is very unfortunate choice to make. I enjoy how the author is urging the mistress to sleep with him in a very convinceing reasonings that the mistress will now have trouble refusing.
