This song relates to Hamlet in the following trends these different people; Ophelia, The ghost and Laertes: It starts off with a swift mournful sounding tune, which would emulate the ghost when Barnardo tells the story to Horatio and Marcellus. He begins his memoir by saying that the previous night, the star to the west of the North Star had traveled across the night sky to the point where it was shining currently, at one o'clock, then Barnardo gets cut off by Marcellus telling him to be quiet that he had seen it again. After this occurrence when they had seen the apparition, Barnardo says he looked just like the king, and looks to Horatio who is terrified by the similarity. Barnardo then tells them that the ghost wants them to speak to it and Marcellus tells him to talk to it. The correspondence from this scene and the story is where the beat of the music sounds sad, melancholy, unnerving, and mysterious.
This antithesis continues throughout the speech, with oxymoronic phrases ‘mirth in funeral’ ,and ‘dirge in marriage’, Claudius demonstrates his ability to express whatever emotions make him look wise and just, showing that he is in command of Denmark. He deliberately emphasises the contrast between his marriage to Gertrude and his brother’s death, using phrases such as ‘defeated joy’, and ‘with one auspicious and one dropping eye’. After a while he gets back to the true reason behind his speech. To inform the onlookers of the affair with Fortinbras’, however he never really goes into that much detail but instead concentrates on his own personal matters, which shows he cares more for his own life than the well being of the country he now has to run. Throughout this speech he continuously reminds us, consciously and maybe subconsciously, that he has married his brother’s wife.
Night follows the more traditional approach of Wiesel recalling the events of a period in his life, while Maus alternates between the ‘modern’ day (modern as in the time when Art Spiegelman is interviewing his father) and Vladek’s story, as told through flashbacks. Wiesel takes us through chronologically, starting when Wiesel “was twelve” (Wiesel 1), through until he “had arrived at Buchenwald” (Wiesel 98) until the liberation when he stared at himself in the mirror, but “a corpse gazed back” (Wiesel 109). This style of writing allows for the audience to follow through with Wiesel at a steady pace with little to no confusion regarding setting at any given moment in the novel. On the other hand, Maus’s style is closer to someone telling a story. The audience learns as much as is known by Art Spiegelman of Vladek’s story, while still strongly emphasizing a major subplot of Vladek’s relationship with people in the modern day.

In particular, the explanation for the conflict between Norway and Denmark is provided. The technique used to convey the message is indirect, because it occurs in natural conversation between Horatio and Marcellus. The encounter with the ghost sets the stage for the conversation, so this information is cleverly hidden amongst a subplot. 2. A good play should capture the audience’s interest very quickly.
When Pilgrim states that some people believe forever is “living and dying first in one form then another” (265), he is actually contradicting what evidence is found later on in the novel. Pilgrim states that he “is always eighteen at birth” (280). This gives the reader the impression that Pilgrim’s body may have been reincarnated with his mind always the same. Foreshadowing/ irony is once again found when Pilgrim states that he is looking for someone to say “this is a man who cannot die. Just no one says it.
Harkins conveys the idea that there are some underlying political facts for early modern construction of youth and age. Apart from this, in the second part of the article, Harkins argues how the play provides insights into an aged-based social order by mentioning George Whetsone’s comedy. Harkins notes that Horatio’s calling Hamlet as “young Hamlet” at the end of the play’s first scene particularizes between a father and son with the same name. However, there lies something beyond that generation difference. Harkins states that the definitions “young” and “old” are relative terms that come from and rest upon a “series of social order” (Harkins, 334).
