My favorite part of the play. The irony is unbelievable.
Everybody in the play is Catholic along with Shakespeare. If he kills Claudius now, Claudius will be in a state of grace which means that all of his sins (including the murder of Hamlet's father) will be forgiven and Claudius will be given a free ticket to heaven. That's the last thing Hamlet wants.

We learn that after Hamlet has made this decision, and leaves, Claudius tells that he cannot pray meaningfully. His words do not reach even the ceiling (if I remember correctly). 

Isn't that a bit of irony? Think of it. By the terms of the play, Hamlet thinks Claudius will go to heaven. But what Claudius tells us is that nothing could be further from the truth.

Does music express emotion better than words? Explain?<br> 6 sentences
ira [324]

Answer:

Yes, I believe that music can express emotion better than words. I think that music is a bunch of words with noises, harmonies, and tone added onto it. I believe that because of these added platforms, music has more of an opportunity and advantage over words in getting emotions across. Words can sometimes feel dry and boring, but when you listen to music you come to appreciate the added passion. I think that music makes us feel more emotions then words, because of the obvious emotions of said singer. In conclusion, yes, music does express emotion better than words.
