Themes in Hamlet:

<h3><u>Imposibility of certainty.</u></h3>

  What separates Hamlet from every other play about revenge is how he postponed the action in order to obtain more knowledge about what he is trying to do. He continuously doubt about some things that in other plays are take it for granted like, Is the ghost what it appears to be or is a misleading fiend?; How can we know for certain facts about a crime that has no witnesses?; Can we know wether our actions will have the consequence we want to have?.

   The play shows us how life is full of uncertainties and how we take for granted things that we really don´t know where they come from.

<h3><u>The complexity of action.</u></h3>

  How is it possible to take reasonable, purposeful, efective actions? During the play Hamlet face not only rational considerations like the ones I explained in the previous point. He also had emotional, ethical and psychological troubles. Such troubles don´t bother other characters in the story by the time they had to act but, like the case of Claudius, haunted them after doing it. Claudius´s conscience is tormented by the assasination of the king and the marriage with the queen.

<h3><u>Death.</u></h3>

    After the murder of Hamlet´s father he got obsessed with the idea of death and consider it from many perspectives. The spiritual perspective is embodied in the ghost of the king visiting him to told the story about his passing. While the physical one is represented on the 5th act when Hamlet returns from the exile and in the graveyard he talks with the skull of Yorick.

  I hope this answer help you. Regards

Isolation is a major theme in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Which of these excerpts best reflect Gregor's isolated condition
lutik1710 [3]
<span> I believe that the excerpt which best reflect Gregor's isolated condition after his transformation is the first one:

He got into the habit of closely watching it for one or two hours before it was opened and then, lying in the darkness of his room where he could not be seen from the living room, he could watch the family in the light of the dinner table and listen to their conversation—with everyone's permission, in a way, and thus quite differently from before.

It shows how his family were all together, his parents and his sister, enjoying their time watching TV and talking, while he was in the other room all alone, with no one to talk to. He is lonely and completely isolated after his transformation, although he used to be the same thing even before he became a bug.
