Key Examples in Hamlet
Act 3, Scene 1
Explanation and Analysis:
The style of Hamlet is determined by Hamlet’s perspective and character. Because Hamlet speaks more than any other character, his language and diction dictate the play’s rhythm and movement. When Hamlet decides to feign madness, the play’s pacing grows more convoluted in order to represent his failure to communicate with those around him. This shift is visible in the way he uses language itself.
