In most of Shakespeare's tragedies there is first a physical
or emotional conflict between characters: ie Hamlet-Claudius
Hamlet-Laertes, etc. The philosophy comes to play when the
inner struggle becomes apparent: When Hamlet goes a bit
loony from pretending to be mad and commits sudden, emotional
acts such as killing Polonius. For this subject, studying
mostly the soliloquies, and possibly Hamlet's conversations
with Horatio would attain the most relevant insights into
the philosophies of each character. Good luck! (I have an
assessment tomorrow. Eep!)Posted by Cassandra on April 07, 1997 at 04:23:27
