Panther In Hamlet

672 Words3 Pages

Throughout the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare,(11) a clear and meaningful statement that is present is that it is easier to remember a person’s good qualities than it is to remember their bad qualities. Though this may be referenced at many times throughout the play,(13) it is supported best when Hamlet confesses his love for Ophelia now that she has passed and refuted when everyone realizes the king is to blame for each and everyone of their deaths. The claim that it is easier to remember a person’s good qualities than it is to remember their bad qualities is present in many different events throughout the play. It is most recognizable in Act 5,(15) Scene 1,(15) when Hamlet realizes that the grave that is being dug is for his sweet Ophelia. …show more content…

Analysis Of David Brooks 'Humility Code'

708 Words | 3 Pages

In Hamlet, Hamlet allows himself to lose those relationships in order to pursue his plot for revenge. Instead of leaning on those he loves in his time of grief, he instead pushes them away and isolates himself. When speaking to Ophelia, he says, “I loved you not”, which insinuates that he never has loved her, despite the fact that he cares deeply for her (3.1.). This idea that Hamlet would rather push away those who care about him in order to pursue this revenge directly relates to a core part of Brooks’ “Humility Code”. Code number two states that people “know what is deep and important in life, but (they) still pursue the things that are shallow and vain” (Brooks 108).

The violence that is placed on the black people, whether it referred to the beatings that took place in the 1700 and 1800s, or the police brutality today, are the perfect symbol of inequality. The poor treatment of the Black Body destroys the conception of the American Dream. Violence is has constantly been a part of a black person’s life, but often the black man seems to be the most nonviolent: “Why were only heroes nonviolent? … morality of nonviolence, but of the sense that blacks are in especial need of this morality” (Coates 32). One of the biggest ironies presented is the peaceful front that many black people show in the face of the unfair world.

After being abandoned by his uncle in Oakland, Erik made a vow to carry on his father’s legacy. He excelled in school, and eventually became a Black Ops Soldier. His involvement in the military symbolizes his militant mindset that was so commonly associated with Malcolm X. Both men, T’Challa and Killmonger, became successful in their own right. Their fight over Wakanda and its vibranium show the inner conflict that happens amongst successful African Americans when they reach a position of power. We clearly see that ignoring the issue at hand, and focusing on self-improvement led to what the world was before Killmonger, a place with an isolation of Black wealth, and the majority of African descendants facing oppression.

Hamlet is fully telling her his faults and that, while being scathing towards her, he is no better. Even after her death, he continues to express his flaws around her presence. This is seen at her funeral, for which he says to her brother, Laertes, “For though I am splenitive and rash, I have in me something dangerous, which let thy wisdom fear,” (5.1.275-276).
