Hamlet is my favorite Shakespearian play....it's about a Danish Prince whose father is killed by his Uncle.  In his torment and greif, Hamlet seeks to expose the crime and avenge his father's death...

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble. I'm having trouble helping you interpret the question being that I haven't read that particular novel. I wish you the best of luck, but I can tell you that several people in your class are probably having the same trouble. So, any interpretation of the question that you would have would certainly be better than nothing!! ;)

i think that it is funny how seriously people are taking it. it's a novel not a historical book. anyway the movie sucks if u read the book and liked it i would recomend not seeing th movie, the movie dosn't explain a lot of things and left me more confused about the plot than anything else.

I take back my rude attitude! I am sorry for being so rough in my answer earier. It is really really amazing after I went through the whole thing! I thought I was just wasting my time to read and solve something. Anyway, thanks for this lesson. I promise not to judge anything before I completely get to understand it. This is how it read:\n\n"I couldn’t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal power of the human mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. \n\nThis is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh ? Yeah. and I always thought spelling was important !\n\nIf you can read this, pass it on !"\n\nThanks! By the way,\n\nI ma psasing ti on ot ym futuer geneartoin... ah ah ah...

He is interested in what is going on in his daughter’s life and knows how to get to her through his words and actions. He is also a wise man in the sense he knows what Hamlet wants from his daughter. Most of the advice that Polonius said is very worldly advice...advice of a man that understood the world.

Now I have theories here! But I don't know!  go to www.sirpercy.org and see what you think after reading all the background info there.  There is a LOT of history that goes beyond the novels and there is a family tree dating back centuries before the books were set and naming thier children.  I can't work out whether it is a very elaborate fan writing or a biography?

Because it was written so long ago that the meanings are cryptic to us - they were not as cryptic at the time - and at that time hidden meanings and innuendo were used a great deal in theater.  Remember, Shakespeare's plays were written to be performed on stage at the time.\n\nThese sites should give you plenty of information for your report.

Your missing the point of the novel.\nWE ALL march to The Beat Of The diff. DRUM.\nHolden represents the time in life when you realize that and accept that you are the measure of all things. \nThis is a Philosopy and it is with merit.

I think you need to read this book or research it in the library. \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0677213700/002-3815484-5432003?v=glance&n=283155

Not necessarily pointless. Perhaps you have taken a dislike to Shakespeare's literature. It's okay to find it boring, but if it's an assignment try to focus. There is some meaning behind all these dialogues. If you have time study them and look deeper into the events taking place within the play itself. Shakespeare is a complicated, yet terrific writer.

??? i didnt get the question

Just saw the movie today. I am a Christian and wanted to see it so I knew more to answer the questions that I have been asked by friends. The hardest thing I find to comprehend is why are people being so blown away with it, when it is clear that it is a work of fiction? It is a fiction book, that has just been made into a fiction movie. Dan Brown himself states that the book was fiction and is not based on fact.\n\nJust goes to show how cunning and conniving the devil can be.\n\nAs for the movie, didnt really enjoy it. A bit over the top.

I dunno if this'll help, but I thought I'd give it a try . . .\nI just read through Macbeth with my lil' bro a little while ago, and I'm rereading Othello now, and it's funny that you ask about the inevitability of prohecies and the first prophecy he gets, because even though there are no prophecies in Othello, Iago does say something about deals with the devil.\nI don't have the book on me, so I can't give a direct quote, but, Iago compares himself to a devil and says that the reason he tells the truth in the beginning of his evil scheme to bring about Othello's downfall is because a demon (or in Hamlet's case a witch) will give you bits of the truth in order to lure you into dealing with them.  That way you will think that they aren't evil, because an evil being would lie.  Does that make sense? \nSo when he saw the first prophecy come true without any action on his part, he thought it would be okay to help the rest of them along, because it was his destiny and not evil magic.  I think the irony is that whether or not he killed Duncan the prophecy should have come true.  Or maybe it was foretold that he would kill Duncan, and the witches just neglected to tell him that part, and knowing that he would, let Lady MacB goad him into it.\nI never read "The Bottle Imp", but it sounds interesting, I think I'll give it a try.\nHope that helps!

That book is just a scam, and you fell for it. Lucky for you, though, you're smart enough to see that the book doesn't really say anything and in fact doesn't make any sense. Lots of people got suckered into the babble before they figured out there's nothing there!
