When Hamlet was brought to the same spot, the ghost of his father had explained to him how he really died. After Hamlet learned the true story he went mad but there were several other factors attributing to him dying besides revenge. King Hamlet was murdered by his own brother. Hamlet mourned the death of his father for quite some time. After two months had gone by his mother could not understand why he was acting is such a strange way.
For example, the narrator in Simon’s song says, “And I curse the life I’m livin’”, “And I wish that I could be Richard Cory.” In Robinson’s poem, the speaker comes to the conclusion that Richard Cory has everything a human being should have. Making them envious, saying, “To make us wish that we were in his place.” The speakers in both the poem and song seem to be envious of Richard Cory, but they never say anything bad about him. The poem and the song end the same way: Richard Cory went home “and put a bullet through his head”. They just end with no explanation as to why Richard Cory killed himself. Edwin Arlington Robinson’s poem and Paul Simon’s song have many similarities however, they also have differences.
The affair later ended and Reeves became severely depressed and shot himself. Was it out of love, or something more? Suspicion arose why Reeves may have killed himself. The fact that he was fornicating with an executive’s wife could ruin his reputation if his secret got out. Companies and big producers may not want to cast him in large films or sponsor him on any logos.
The narrator’s original point of view is that Robert is from his wives past so he must be a threat to him, so jealousy is appealed, “This blind man, an old friend of my wives … I wasn’t enthusiastic about the visit”(88). He also assumes that blindness was such a major weakness that Robert was completely inferior to himself. “My idea of blindness came form the movies … A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to”(88). This is the narrator’s ignorance at play. He also thinks blind people cant smoke cigarettes.
Who is guilty, then? Hamlet’s mental illness is.” He is making it seem as if he does not understand what really going on and he want them to think that he is really going crazy. Another factor into him going crazy is when he tells Ophelia that she should believe that he really loved her and the way he behaved towards her. The only reason for that dispute was because he was so angry with his mother and how she did her father with marrying her dead husband’s brother. He felt as if his mother had betrayed him and his dead father.
It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved anyone except me (137).” As he argues with Tom you can see his defiance to believe that Daisy could love another. He led himself on a path where everything he is and can be is Daisy. He became obsessed with her that the love he had for her lead him to believe that she isn't capable of loving anyone, but him. After his dream was killed after his argument with Tom over Daisy, Nick tries to tell him to go someplace else for a while, but “he wouldn’t consider it. He couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do.
Unfulfillment in Life in Death of a Salesman Arthur Miller says “ I think it's a mistake to ever look for hope outside one's self.” In the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, both Biff and Happy show that they feel unfulfilled in life due to their father, Willy's, unrealistic expectations of them; his lack of affection and approval towards them as people; and his selfishness by committing suicide. Being mistreated by their father causes Biff and Happy to feel unfulfilled in life. The first way Biff and Happy are mistreated by their father, Willy, is by the amount of pressure/expectation that he puts on the both of them. Biff has the most pressure put on him to have a successful career in business, but that is not what he actually wants. Willy doesn't understand why Biff wants to be a farmer, and thinks: “How can he find himself on a farm?
People are beginning to tuen against him and he feel she has nothing left to live for. He "My way of life is fall'n into the sere, the yellow leaf" It is at this point Macbeth feels he there is nothing worth living for, he feels he wants to die as nothing is going the way he planned for it to. He believes his life is is beginning to wither and die like a yellowing leaf in Autumn. The audience also feel pity for Macbeth because he learns his wife has commited suicide. I think he feels lonely and that his life is just dragging by.
There are some people that are quick to react and don’t think through everything. How about someone so impulsive he almost kills himself just because he had to leave town? Then they were depressed and thought they could never love again because a girl he liked won’t get married to anyone. Then he end he buys poison and plans to kill himself because he thought his wife was dead. That is how impulsive Romeo is in the in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Andrew Bittmann English 102-b05 Weathers Unmainly Grief Claudius could hardly be considered to be a model of upright behavior, given that he seduces Gertrude while the grief over her husband’s death is still fresh. While he is obviously advancing his own motives, his speech to Hamlet about “Unmanly Grief” is oddly compelling. Claudius takes the view that all men die, all men lose their fathers. They enter a period of appropriate grief and then move on. Because hamlet is not conforming to this norm, Claudius suggests that Hamlet’s grief is not only unhealthy, but unmanly.
