9. Hamlet's soliloquy in Act I scene 2, lines129-159 is loaded with anger and sorrow. The sentences are filled with exclamations which further express his fury. Hamlet is fully invested emotionally in the death of his father, which in term makes his fully invested in the words he uses. In lines 149-153, the verb of the sentence come more than ten words after the subject and the sentence is interjected with strong words. His inability to finish a sentence further expouses his overwhelmed emotional state. All the of the words Hamlet uses are very truthful and trul express his feelings. He also uses figuratice language and allusions to biblical figures to further express his emotions.
7. A major conflict in the play Hamlet is the conflict between concealing and revealing, particularly relating to the characters of Hamlet and Claudius. We learn immediately as the play begins the difference between the two characters. When the play begins Hamlet Sr. is dead. There is a clear emotional difference between Hamlet and King Claudius. King Claudius makes his appearance in the play as he makes a speech in the castle fallowing his brothers. The King shows no sign of remorse as he is making his speech. He also seemed very unaffected by his brother's death, because he married his brother's wife only one month after his death. Constrastingly, a month had gone by and Hamlet was still moping around the house. We could hear the extent of Hamlet's emotions in his soliloquy ase he expresses all that he is feeling. There is an evident divide between the charcters who conceal, and those how reveal.
