Shakespeare is the subject of innumerable books, written in a whole lot of different languages all over the
world. He has been studied exhaustively. Yet , it seems that every now and then, we can find some new aspect
of this great writer. What was a common practice during the XVI and XVII centuries in England?
Playwrights were not taken seriously because they talked about unreal characters in their stories
which did not have any appeal to the public.
Ladies were not allowed to go to the theatre since plays were considered improper for women.
As was common to practice during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Shakespeare
borrowed for his plays ideas and stories from earlier literary works.
It was common to have plays acted in big castles open to the high society as well as to the gentry.
Female actresses would play the role of men in tragedies.
The power of Hamlet, and, for that matter, of most of Shakespeare´s plays, derives largely from the power of
certain images.
Why did Prince Hamlet decide not to kill Claudius when he finds Claudius alone praying?
Because
Gertrude had asked him not to kill Claudius until he could prove Claudius´s guilt.
Laertes had advised him not to do so.
there was a religious tradition in The Elizabethan Age that nobody could ever be killed while praying
because the killer would be condemned to death.
the place was rather dark and Hamlet might not be able to kill Claudius.
Hamlet believes that killing Claudius while in prayer would send Claudius´s soul to heaven.
This term suggests any attitude which tends to exalt the human element or stress the importance of human
interests. Developed first in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in Italy, it was marked by a passion for
rediscovering and studying ancient literature. It spread to other continental countries and finally to England,
where a series of efforts culminated successfully late in the fifteenth century with an enormous optimism about
the potential scope of human understanding.
The explanation above is associated with

countries.

Whether the ghost is the product of the soldiers imagination or not.

Whether the French Prince Fortimbras would ever invade England.
Whether Hamlet´s mother, Gertrude, shares in Claudius´s guilt.
Whether Laertes is also involved in the death of the former King of Denmark.
Whether Hamlet continues to love Gertrude even as he praises her.
As we have seen in the play, much of Hamlet is concerned with getting behind appearances to the truth of
things.

He asks his mother to try to find out if Claudius had really killed his father.
He invites Claudius for a sword fighting.

Milton is often spoken of as the last Renaissance man. At the same time he had his political views. Which were
John Milton´s political ideals?
As he believed in God, he adopted a traditional political view about how to rule the world, following rules
dictated by the Church.
He claimed we all needed to be ruled by a benign God in the manner of an earthly King. As God´s forces
prove superior, the King, as a representative of God, ought to be obeyed by his subjects.
He championed the absolute freedom of the individual, he believed that power corrupted human beings.
He distrusted anyone who could claim power over anyone else, and believed that rulers should have to
prove their right to lead other people.
Milton´s poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for peace. He was against political
turbulence and defended the King´s rights.
He exalted God´s forces and was definitely anyone who didn´t believe in God.
John Milton was nearly thirty and he had already established his reputation as a young man of letters, and with
it, he gained entrance into the circles of the most learned men in Europe.
How did he build such a firm poetic foundation?
In his twenties, Milton wrote three masterful long poems, each of them influential and important in its
own separate way: The Wanderer, which talked about a man in search for God, LÁllegro, in which
Milton described the birth of Melancholy and Il Penseroso, in which he dealt with country pleasures.
