Hamlet's Puzzling, Duplicitous Nature
Number of words: 2154 - Number of pages: 8.... Nay it is. I know not 'seems.' (1.2.76). This is to say "I am what I appear to be." Later In Act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain" (1.5.99-103).

Number of words: 1826 - Number of pages: 7.... doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself.

A Doll's House: A Push To Freedom
Number of words: 1392 - Number of pages: 6.... after "A Doll's House", the same conflict is the
basis of the play. Because Mrs. Alving concedes to her minister's ethical
bombardment about her responsibilities in marriage, she is forced to conceal the
truth about her late husband's behavior ( ). Like "A Doll's House", "Ghosts"
can be misinterpreted as simply an attack on the religious values of Ibsen's
society. While this is certainly an important aspect of the play, it is not,
however, Ibsen's main point. "A Doll's House" set a precedent for "Ghosts" and
the plays Ibsen would write in following years. It established a method h .....

Number of words: 607 - Number of pages: 3.... each work cannot be debated. I will however, discuss the mood, tone,
and characterization of a few key figures in the two works.
One difference in character that I found was that in the
introduction to Morte d' Arthur, Mordred is referred to as King Arthurs
nephew. Later in the text, when Arthur and Mordred are fighting (p. 96,
para.1) it says, ". . . so he smote his father King Arthur with his sword
holden in both hands, upon the side of the head . . ." In Camelot, Mordred
is Arthur's illegitimate son, although he keeps this a secret. This
possibly explains the contradiction of Mordr .....
