<span>In his first soliloquy, Hamlet is upset that he is unable to commit suicide. He wishes death upon himself, but is unable to commit suicide because of his religion. Hamlet states that he would sooner die than continue watching his mother engage in incest. This speech reflects Hamlet's actual level of grief because he is unable to speak these thoughts to anyone, they continue to torment him.</span>
In "Forgetfulness", by Billy Collins, the possible theme of the poem is<em> D. Retiring, packing a bag, and floating down a river are similar to losing one's memory</em>. First, Collins writes that we first forget the author of a novel and then we completely forget of its existence at all. Lost memories are compared to someone retiring to a fishing place without phones, so we cannot reach them. There is a personification when he writes that the memory of the quadratic equation "pack its bag". He then writes about floating down the Lehte river, it is a Greek mythological river and if you floated down its waters you forgot what you knew.
