Paper Abstract
A five page paper which looks at the main themes in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with particular reference to the images of decay, corruption and poison which recur throughout the text. The way in which these images reflect both the degeneration of Denmark and the deterioration of Hamlet’s mental stability is examined, and how an obsession with the physical rather than metaphysical elements of death comes to motivate Hamlet’s thoughts and actions. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
