Hamlet and His Problems. Eliot, T. S. 1920. The Sacred Wood And Hamlet the character has had an especial temptation for that most dangerous type of critic: the critic with a mind which is naturally of the creative order, but which through some weakness in creative power exercises itself in criticism instead. And the supposed identity of Hamlet with his author is genuine to this point: that Hamlet's bafflement at the absence of objective equivalent to his feelings is a prolongation of the bafflement of his creator in the face of his artistic problem. Hamlet is up against the difficulty that his disgust is occasioned by his mother, but that his mother is not an adequate equivalent for it; his disgust envelops and exceeds her. www.bartleby.com /200/sw9.html   (1593 words)

Lambs' Tales From Shakespeare - Hamlet Hamlet observed the king his uncle change colour at this expression, and that it was as bad as wormwood both to him and to the queen. Hamlet, sorely indignant that she should give so dear and honoured a name as father seemed to him, to a wretch who was indeed no better than the murderer of his true father, with some sharpness replied: 'Mother, you have much offended my father.' The queen said that was but an idle answer. Hamlet, suspecting some treachery, in the night-time secretly got at the letters, and skilfully erasing his own name, he in the stead of it put in the names of those two courtiers, who had the charge of him, to be put to death: then sealing up the letters, he put them into their place again. shakespeare.palomar.edu /lambtales/LTHAMLET.HTM   (2435 words)

Enjoying "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare Hamlet refers (V.ii) to "the election", i.e., the choosing of a new king by a vote of a small number of warlords (as in Macbeth). Hamlet replies, "O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams." The friends continue to play on the idea that Hamlet's ambitious are being thwarted, sharing some contemporary platitudes about the vanity of earthly ambitions. Hamlet tells the queen not to dismiss what he has said about her as the result of madness, and says how ironic it is that virtue (his blunt talk to his mother) has to ask pardon for its bad manners. www.pathguy.com /hamlet.htm   (18265 words)
