How would you compare and contrast hamlet with the twentieth century?

1 answer:

5 0

Hamlet is a work of literature that was written roughly five centuries ago. Because of this, many of the ideas of the text might not feel relevant or even logical nowadays. However, many of them remain true to this day.

Some of the elements of the text that are still relevant are the feelings of revenge that Hamlet feels, as well as his inability to take quick action. Both of these are problems that modern readers can identify themselves with. Another element is the fact that Hamlet finds it very difficult to accept the idea of his mother remarrying. Finally, Claudius' ambition is also a topic that is relevant to the present.

On the other hand, the way in which Hamlet and Claudius struggle for the throne is less relevant nowadays, as most monarchies have now disappeared. Ophelia's lack of control over her own life is also a situation that has become much less common. Finally, the religious elements of the play are likely to be less powerful to a modern audience.

The correct way would be: While she was sleeping, the alarm kept ringing in Jamie's ear.

While contains the element of duration and it is better to use a progressive form.

Sleeping is a verb that has duration, so it should not be conjugated in the past simple if there is a simultaneous action.

Answer:

I believe many people are more concerned with the after life rather than the present life because it is not happening now, while the present life is. While people may still live their lives in the present many are based on their beliefs of the afterlife. Evidence that shows people think this way, is things like religion. If someone is a Christian or Buddhist they live their life now based on what they think is going to happen in the afterlife. I believe a person's view of the afterlife affects day to day things that affect the life they're living now. For example, in the Buddhist religion if it is against their laws to sleep more than six hours, then someone who follows that religion is not going to do that now in their present life because of how it may affect them in the afterlife. A person's view of the afterlife definitely affects how they treat others because, if someone believes that there is nothing after this life then there is nothing for them to work towards in this life, so they may choose to live it however they want with no apparent consequences. This includes treating people however they want, kindly or maliciously. But on the other hand, even if people do not believe there is anything after this life they could choose to live it to their best because there will be nothing else. Others based on their view of the afterlife treat people a certain way because of their beliefs, Christians for example are supposed to treat everyone with kindness as Jesus did.
