It is because of this that time plays a crucial role in not only Hamlet, and Macbeth, but in Romeo and Juliet in that there is a limited amount causing them to make the sporadic decisions they do. Hamlet feels constrained by time to carry out what his father wants him to do, but also by doubt over whether or not he is truly being visited and ordered by his father to exact revenge. The theme of Hamlet and Macbeth, then, is obligation to fulfill the wishes of those who are superior, and how carrying out their tasks is directly related to the point of no return.  These themes overall tie into the sense of existentialism which is commonly applied to Shakespearean works.]]> 2017-02-14 19:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153844199 cianney_leija https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153844251 Many of Shakespeare's tragic plays share a feeling of vulnerability. In Hamlet, his vulnerability is shown in his manipulation by the ghost of his father. The same can be said about Macbeth, in that he is being manipulated by Lady Macbeth. In Romeo and Juliet, their love for each other makes them vulnerable. In Hamlet, the moment the ghost appears to Hamlet, he is easily persuaded because his emotions leave him vulnerable. In Macbeth, he is also easily manipulated by Lady Macbeth in that she persuades him to kill and is essentially the mastermind behind Macbeth’s success. In Romeo and Juliet, the fact that they are deeply in love makes them vulnerable because they act irrationally and not to their families' best interests. ]]> 2017-02-14 19:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153844251 lopezdanielle98 https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153844753 In Shakespearean plays the recurring event of manipulation of one character to another causes their passion for manipulation to end with the ill fate of their own self destruction. Shakespeare often describes his characters flaws as want for control of others around them, thus leading to an unfortunate end from the desire to control the uncontrollable.

Our nature drives us to allow for this shift of blame, allowing ourselves to be coerced into situations and actions that we subconsciously wish to receive the benefits from, and in this way try to remove or lessen consequence in relation to ourselves. As such in the works of Hamlet and Macbeth, the story setting, influenced by the Elizabethan period in which it was written, as well as perhaps a tribute to the older age within each individual stories, humanity's belief in the supernatural and fate, which is destined to be fulfilled regardless of the actions of man, lead men down paths of violence and disillusion. However, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, being both "star crossed lovers", destined to die, their setting- being a stubborn feud between families, obsessed that their feuding is both inevitable and necessary- bring their own ruin by bringing themselves grief, and killing their cherished kin. The elements in the works of Shakespeare show the flaws in human nature and our downfalls. In the works of Shakespeare which holds relevance to our physical world, it can be said that the destruction of man is in actuality himself.]]> 2017-02-14 19:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153844785 christine_dyal https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153845726 There is a strong common bond between the Shakespeare’s plays “Romeo and Juliet”, “Hamlet”, and “Macbeth”, which is the theme of obsession. Obsession in these plays proves overpowering, enough to control the protagonists to commit actions which results in unwarranted accidents.  In R&J, Romeo experiences irrevocable love for Juliet, which ultimately led to his death. In Macbeth, the prophecy delivered by the apparitions controlled Macbeth to commit rash actions to ensure his throne. Likewise, in Hamlet, Hamlet’s desire to avenge his father undeniably controls him throughout the play. Clearly, obsession is an outside force common to these works that leads to the character's demise. ]]> 2017-02-14 19:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153845726 tyraalexiscollins https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153846159 In Shakespeare's famous plays, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, many of the characters are destined to have a tragic fate.The common theme of destiny is heavily incorporated in the plays. Destiny is outside the control of an individual and influence by outside forces. We are unable to control, predict or determine its outcome. Both plays illustrate the role of destiny as the main character's destiny is to stumble upon revenge, sealing their fate for total demise. ]]> 2017-02-14 19:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/153846159 rockstar_1286 https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/154127282 In Shakespeare’s tragedies, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth the characters’ immaturity and decision to challenge conventional morality, lead to a single turning point in each story that eventually unfolds into the tragedy. All four characters face some form of immaturity that triggers impulsivity that supports the moral dilemmas of each play. In Macbeth, Lady Macbeth’s lack of morality and willingness to neglect others for her own needs ultimately leads to her demise. With both Hamlet and Juliet, the characters are faced with episodes of immaturity that leads them to act out in ways that are often self-destructive which cause the catastrophic events in their life that result in their own preventable deaths.]]> 2017-02-15 19:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/154127282 olyviabailey https://padlet.com/deborah_livingston/7stcnamk3z8b/wish/154133309 In Shakespearean plays, the constant and recurring themes of manipulation, and acts of passion is what leads the main and tragic heroes to their ultimate self demise. Shakespeare often describes his characters flaws as want for control of others around them, thus leading to an unfortunate end from the desire to control the uncontrollable. In Romeo and Juliet the star-crossed lovers uncontrollable fate is what leads the two tragic heroes in this play to act on their love through passionate scenes resulting in huge consequences. Juliet’s manipulation of Romeo, while coming from a place of love ended in the consequence of both main characters death, just as in Hamlet, his unending passion for revenge, for his manipulative father’s death, and end act of passion leads to his own death.
