ESSAY ON: To What Degree Can Claudius Be Held Responsible For All Sorrows Of The Play?

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: 6 pages in length. Claudius' observation that sorrows come in battalions speaks to the nature of overwhelming death throughout the play. With the ultimate demise of Polonius, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Ophelia, Laertes, Gertrude, Hamlet and even himself, one must look back upon the play and come to the uncompromising determination that Claudius, by virtue of the inflated opinion he has of himself and his abilities, was wholly responsible for much of those sorrows. Hamlet, in an attempt to stop any further sorrows, takes it upon himself to lay claim to a particularly pertinent death when he takes the unfavorable life of Claudius, yet that does not completely absolve him of any other sorrows. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
