Consider the ending of Hamlet. Has justice been served by the

English

5 0

Answer:

From my point of view, justice has not been served, specially if we understand that revenge is not a synonym of justice. Moreover, the ending has a bittersweet sensation because one would have expected someone to survive and find a way of restoring the order; with the death of King Claudius and Prince Hamlet, Denmark is left in a fragile situation, and we wonder: Was this Hamlet's plan? How could this be justice when there is not a complete positive outcome for Hamlet and the society?

We should consider the different events of the play, because there are several characters that are seeking revenge/justice. In the final scene, we can see that:

  • Hamlet is able to kill King Claudius (and finds "justice" for his father)
  • Laertes kills Hamlet (and finds "justice" for the death of his father Polonious)
  • Hamlet kills Laertes (and finds "justice" for his own death)

From this point of view, it could be said that revenge is the only protagonist of this play. If any of the characters would have been able to leave their personal affairs aside, they could have thought of the consequences that could be left for the people around them. Their thirst for revenge only left them satisfied, and the rest suffered the consequences. If they would have sought justice, the outcome would have been different: order would have been re-established and Denmark wouldn't have been left on such fragile situation.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Line number 9 shows a tone of determination.

Explanation:

In a poem the tone is the feeling that the author gives to the reader through the words used in the text, that is, it is the sensation and the impression that the reader has of the words that are being read.

When the speaker of the poem says aloud "She deserves better," he is imposing determination in his words. He is showing conviction and is determined to show the reader that he believes it.
