9. In his first soliloquy Hamlet does a good job describing his emotions through vivid imagery. He talks about how he wishes he could just melt away because he cant take his life anymore. Hamlet is so full of emotion he tends to go in many directions at once completing an idea before moving on to the next. Hamlet keeps going back and forth about what he wants to do but really has no idea what he is going to do. We can see that he feels trapped in a bad situation and wants to break free and be without worries. He will later realize that Claudius is the base of his sadness and just wishes his dad could still be there and everything could be good.
7. Honesty and deception create conflicts between characters, mindsets and motives. Claudius demonstrates dishonesty and deception bringing up the theme of Perception Vs. Reality. To everyone else the king seems nice fair and but Hamlet knows the truth of how he got his power and his true intentions. People perceive Claudius as the king but in reality Hamlet should be the king which is part of his internal frustration.
