Hamlet's Madness
<view this essay>.... vengeance by his father who appears to him as a ghost.
This raises the first bit of suspicion of madness. Hamlet talks with his father
and is told,
Hamlet: If thou didst ever thy dear father love-
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
Most would say that the fact that he saw the ghost of his dead father would

off adds. I recommend that the ads should be no fewer than 300. I agree
this will take some time, but in the long run, it will save us time in the
places where we need it the most. Tuesday, is the first day of the week
where we will go out and distribute 200 of the ads to places such as Best
buy and Gateway. I site these places first because of the fact that the
average house hold mother does all of her shopping earlier in the week as

it is a way of life not just going to school; and you must have what it takes
just to survive law school.

Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
