44.45 The Drama.
This paper is written about drama and Hamlet's Character. William Hazlitt largely comments on the contemporariness and universality of Hamlet's character: that although Shakespeare wrote the play more than 500 years ago, we have come to know the character of the tragic Prince quite well. Not only because we read about him in school, but also - and more - because we know his thoughts as we do our own. (Hazlitt 1900) His sayings and speeches are not only real but are as real as our own thoughts when we ponder and despair over our or others' misfortunes and grief. Each of us becomes Hamlet, in Hazlitt's view, whenever we bear the weight of reflection (Hazlitt), when the sun in us is made dim by "envious mists" in our hearts, whenever the world looks nothing better than a "dull blank", when our love is despised, or when sadness sticks to us and makes our mind sink within.

45.311 Metaphors in Hamlet.
This paper discusses the use of metaphors used in Shakespeare's Hamlet. The use of metaphor, however, is a bit trickier and leaves much more room for individual interpretation. Literary scholars spend careers searching for hidden metaphors, and when they find them they spend even more time hypothesizing about what they mean. For metaphors, by their very nature, lack a clearly identifiable origin. The works of William Shakespeare are some of the most thoroughly analyzed works of literature that the world has ever known. Countless volumes have been written in attempts to decipher the meaning behind his plays and their characters, and perhaps no character has provided greater fodder for debate than Hamlet. In the following pages I will cite some examples of Shakespeare's use of metaphor in the first three Acts of Hamlet.

47.727 Hamlet.
It can be safely said that no piece of literature, be it poetry or prose, is ever dead. A proper classic lives on far beyond the life of its creator, and remains a living, breathing work. If this is accurate of any form of classic literature it must be accurate of classic drama, for the reason that it lives on both in print and onstage. At the same time as Shakespeare has long been dead, his work does live and breathe, and should be treated as such. It can be effortlessly stated that the work of literature has stood the test of time when William Shakespeare wrote it. But the question arises why are his works so appreciated and treasured? One of his most well-known works, Hamlet, is still a favorite between actors and occasional readers, alike, and why is Shakespeare's work still able to confront and motivate people, four hundred years after it was written. The answer is easy and straightforward. Shakespeare's work, though complex, will never have just one meaning, it will until the end of time be up to the understanding of the people of the time that is interpreting the drama.

48.20016 Critical Analysis of Shakespeare?s Hamlet
This paper looks at Shakespeare?s play Hamlet and discusses two criticisms of this play, one of which I agree with (Charney, 1992), and one of which I disagree with (Brown, 1992). The criticisms are discussed in terms of their implications for interpretations of the meaning of Hamlet. First, the paper looks at the plot of Hamlet, and then moves on to the analyses of the criticisms, and the interpretation of the play that these two criticisms lead to.

49.20959 An Argument for Insanity in William Shakespeare?s Hamlet
This paper will seek to define the elements of insanity, which arise when Hamlet learns of his father's death. In this play by William Shakespeare, Hamlet provides a variety of Freudian delusional fantasies, which make Hamlet a role model for the Oedipal and deranged protagonist. By observing his behaviours, we can learn his role in slowly becoming insane, as he cannot control his obsession for revenge toward his mother and friends.
