Clues

  • A theory developed by Sigmund Freud in his book Interpretation of Dreams, implying the psychosexual stages of desire that a boy has for his mother, alongside the anger a jealousy for his father (6, 7, 7)
  • ACT 1 SCENE 2. Hamlet is described as being "unmanly" due to his melancholic behaviour. This subverts the gender roles within society and the expectations of men. (3, 7, 5)
  • ACT 1 SCENE 3. Laertes warns Ophelia not to get too involved with Hamlet as he may only want her for sex. This contrasts with Catholic views on pre-marital sex. (2, 4, 6, 8)
  • ACT 1 SCENE 3. Polonius tells Ophelia to stay true to herself, yet we learn that Polonius is slightly hypocritical about this. (2, 4, 2, 5, 4)
  • ACT 1 SCENE 3. This shows that Ophelia is bending into the patriarchal society and fitting with the gender norms. This demonstrates the male authority within society. (1, 5, 4, 2, 4)
  • ACT 2 SCENE 2. Hamlet may be referring to this "prison" as being either internal or external. This links to the idea of inner conflict and/or the murder of the old King Hamlet. (7, 2, 1, 6)
  • ACT 3 SCENE 3. "Offence" suggests Claudius is admitting to his wrongful actions, whilst the adjective "rank" has connotations of filth and dirt, heightening the idea of crime and sin and perhaps the guilt felt by Claudius. (2, 7, 2, 4)
  • ACT 3 SCENE 3. Claudius' soliloquy uses religious language, showing the power of religion within the Elizabethan era. This language suggests repentence, and the impact of religious faith within society. (16)
  • ADH. Shows Nora's authoritative role and the subvertion of her subordinate role as a female. (3, 4, 7)
  • WINTER: MY SECRET. Shows the idea of concealment, perhaps concealing the truth. (18)
