Tonight, is the night I will end Sir Henry Baskerville and take the Baskerville fortune. My wife will take her place in the mine across the Grimpen Mire, waiting to release the hound. As for me, I will be dining with Sir Henry. He will never suspect that I would be the killer. In reality, I have not killed anyone, but I have rather been the cause of their let's say, distress. All I have to do is give the scent, and the hound will take care of everything. Just then, there was a knock at the door, and thus my plan had begun. ¨Good evening Mr. Stapleton.¨ ¨The same to Sir Henry¨ ¨Did I come at the right time? It seems I have lost my watch.¨ ¨Yes, you are just in time for dinner. It's a pity though.¨ ¨What.¨ ¨That you lost your watch.¨ ¨Oh, yes.¨ …show more content…
Then he opened the door and left without a word. Perfect, I thought. In the slightest way possible, he suspects something will happen. Which means he will be even more frightened with the hound when it finds him. I waited for a moment before making my move to spy on him. Then I quickly grabbed my coat and ran out the back door. I cautiously creeped around the house and then started the follow the path Sir Henry should have taken. Just then I heard a patter of feet on the moor and my beautiful hound came bounding out of the fog and towards a figure I assume to be Sir Henry. I quickly ran after him and the hound to find that two other figures were after them as well. They're going to foil my ingenious plan. I knew I had failed when I heard a bark, five shots from a revolver, and then a short lived wine from the hound. It all happened so quickly that I stood there, stunned by what had just happened. Then I came to myself remembered that they will soon start to look for the owner of the hound, by which is most definitely me. So I ran and ran until I reached the dangerous parts of the my path. Beryl had lit candles along the safest path the day before, so I would be able to make my way back without getting sucked into the
Henry was an extremely lonely nine-year-old boy whose greatest wish was to get a dog. His parents were busy with their work most of the time and it seemed that Henry did not have any friends, perhaps because they moved so often. A dog would have provided Henry with unconditional love - something in short supply around his house - and would have been the perfect companion. The problem was, his parents did not want dog, which would have been another obligation and something else to take care of. As emotionally detached as his parents were, something else to take care of was just not desirable.
“A picture is a poem without words” – Horace, the purpose of art is to reveal the sensations of life but also allows humans to express their emotions and views on certain aspects. Jean-Michel Basquiat was a Neo-Expressionist painter throughout the 1980’s who was known for his style. He was African American artist and musician that was part of the SAMO. The SAMO was a graffiti group that wrote epigrams. While growing up, one of Basquiat inspirations that encouraged him to paint was his diverse cultural heritage. Basquiat was a creative self-taught artist who thought outside of the box when it came to painting. Most of the pieces he made were a collaboration of different ideas and constructed them together into a collage. During the 1980’s Basquiat’s art used the human figure to portray Minimalism and Conceptualism. His target market that were in many of his pieces was on suggestive dichotomies that focused on the lower class versus the higher class. Even though Basquiat work was remarkable, he was criticized and faced some challenges among his journey because of the symbols and words that were used his paintings. Despite the criticism,

During the course of life, one must experience different changes or actions that will mold us into the person we will become. It could be as little as receiving the 1st "F" on a test or the passing away of a loved one and they all add up to some kind of importance. Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare has Hamlet, the protagonist, struggling through life to find his true self and strives to get hold of his spot in life. However, he is always inhibited to seek vengeance for his father's unlawful death.
Hamlet: Hamlet's Sanity & nbsp; & nbsp; “Great wits are sure to madness near allied, and thin partitions do. their bounds divide.” Though John Dryden's quote was not made in regard to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, it relates very well to the argument of whether or not Hamlet went insane. When a character such as Hamlet is under scrutiny, it can sometimes be difficult to determine what state he is in at. particular moments in the play.
listen” This shows he is eager to find out to who is at the door but
The court of Denmark is full of hungry ears, listening for news of the king’s death, how he died, scandalous gossip of the newly wedded Claudius and Gertrude, eavesdropping on conversations, catching whispered secrets, and sometimes lies. Such open ears in the court offer easy access for words, truthful or not, to slither into the mind and sake seed inside unsuspecting listeners. In fact, spoken words in Hamlet are apt to find their way into unguarded ears and have great effects upon characters in the play. Shakespeare uses prominent imagery of ears to illustrate words’ powerful influence on the actions and emotions of a person.
... While William sieged the town, they had animal hides laid about as an insult towards William’s mother. This slight infuriated William to such a great extent, he lashed out by savagely killing many of the citizens of the town, to defend his mother’s name. This act of brutality marked one of the last times of anarchy and William now had complete authority over Normandy. Through excellent skill in combat, thought out courting, and striking fear, William had regained control of what was once his father’s.
Deceit, misleading information, and spying on others can lead to their demise, intentionally or accidentally. The misleading and deceitful instances in the play are indirectly responsible for Hamlets’ death. Claudius misleads Hamlet when he shipped him off to England under the guise of a restful retreat and when he realizes that the new king has lied to not only him, but the people of Denmark about the death of the former king. Hamlets’ deceit comes from his mother, believing that she has betrayed his father’s love by not mourning for long enough after his death, and by marrying Claudius. Spying also causes problems for Hamlet down the line since it leads to the killing of Polonius, and the deaths of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
Logan Gaertner Mrs. Amon English IV 1 March 2014 Is Hamlet’s Insanity Real? Is Hamlet truly insane? While the play is not extremely clear on the matter and often contradicts itself, many of Hamlet’s wild ramblings and words of nonsense seem to be not the true words of a madman. Hamlet says that he is merely “putting on an antic disposition” (Act 1, Scene 5, Line 181). He admits very early on in the play that his insanity will be nothing more than a ruse to fool those around him.
This conversation between King Henry and Thomas Becket represents the start of their rivalry. The last line boldly presents without trembling fear, which side Becket chose. Becket overcame King Henry’s intimidating and threatening fear to side with his beliefs. As the conversation ends.
Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a tragedy where everything goes wrong for the title character and the people around him. Throughout the play, characters suffer as they see their plans develop, from Claudius escalating his rule over Denmark to Laertes making a dishonorable move in his duel with Hamlet. However, there is one exception, one character in the main cast who never makes meaningful plans or faces grand regrets: Horatio. Horatio does not have a personality and character the same way other characters in Hamlet do. Horatio has no strong motivations or ambitions, offers only exposition without driving the plot forward, and does not experience tragedy and suffering the same way other characters in the play do.
As often associated with a tragedy, a conflict usually ensues between a protagonist and another force in the play. A tragedy is ‘a serious drama typically describing a conflict between the protagonist and a superior force and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror’ (Webster's dictionary). Given its structure and depth in characterization, this play will or can be analyzed and interpreted from various perspectives and beliefs. However, my analysis of the play is conducted on the basis of various components which are: Hamlet as a tragic hero, the ironic message conveyed in the play, the roles of its characters, the role and personification of madness, the role of paranormality, the role of friends and family, the role of inaction, the role of sex and violence, and the role of death as portrayed in the play. Based on literary definitions and portrayal of his character, there is popular belief that Hamlet as the protagonist acted to satisfy his own conscience but could his actions be attributed purely to his desire or was he being influenced by other factors?
Hamlet's problem is not exact; it cannot be pinpointed. In fact, Hamlet has numerous problems that contribute to his dilemma. The first of these problems is the appearance of King Hamlet's ghost to his son, Hamlet. Hamlet's morality adds a great deal to his delay in murdering the current king, Claudius. One of Hamlet's biggest drawbacks is that he tends to think things out too much. Hamlet does not act on instinct; however, he makes certain that every action is premeditated. Hamlet suffers a great deal from melancholy; this in turn causes him to constantly second guess himself. The Ghost is the main cause of Hamlet's melancholy. Also, Hamlet's melancholy helps to clear up certain aspects of the play. These are just a few of the problems that Hamlet encounters throughout his ordeal.
In writing Hamlet, William Shakespeare plumbed the depths of the mind of the protagonist, Prince Hamlet, to such an extent that this play can rightfully be considered a psychological drama.
