Elizabethan tragedies were structurally similar to Seneca's plays as most Elizabethan tragedies include a Chorus, have complex plots, a five-act structure, long rhetorical passages.

The Elizabethan tragedy was the mostly influenced from the Senecan form of tragedy. Since the tragedies of Seneca was not acted on the stage, it took the help of figurative languages and rhetorical devices to fill the gap. Elizabethan plays were also filled with the descriptive usage of language, detailed descriptions and the use of long speeches. Shakespeare had borrowed the theme of revenge tragedy from the Seneca for his plays. The revenge taken is an outcome of the wrong and injustice done to the protagonist of the play. The theme of revenge is introduced by the spirit or supernatural creature in the play which leads the play further. “So art thou to revenge” this line shows the introduction of revenge in the play.

These themes have been introduced in the Elizabethan tragedies from the Senecan form of tragedies. In the play “Hamlet,” the protagonist is Hamlet whose father has been killed by his own uncle. He learns this fact from the spirit of his father who asks him to take revenge from his uncle. The spirit introduces himself as “Ghost I am thy father's spirit” to Hamlet.

The language of the play “Hamlet” contains figurative languages with long monologues and soliloquies with descriptive discussions. “A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark” this line shows the presence of figurative language in the excerpt.

Advantages and disadvantages of legalising baby bins or baby hatches?
vesna_86 [32]
Baby bin refers to a safe place where a woman can drop her baby which she want to abandon. Baby bin was invented in  order to reduce the habit of dropping babies in the dumpster, because in most cases the babies will be dead before they are discovered.
One advantage of legalizing baby bin is that it will rescue a lot of babies whose lives would have been lost otherwise. And no one can tell what those babies can become tomorrow or how much they will contribute to their country and the world at large. Imagine what the US would have lost, if Obama or Thomas Edison has died on the dumpster as a baby.
The disadvantage is that, legalizing baby bin may encourage more women to abandon their babies, especially disable children.
Another dis merit is that legalizing baby bin violate the right of a child to know his or her parents. It also downgrades and neglects the responsibility of the parents to take care of their children.
