![]() Hamlet feels that Gertrude hurts the king more by not mourning during the king’s burial. Therefore, he suffered during his whole lifetime. In the whole book, Hamlet dedicates most of his time and energy trying to take revenge for the death of the king, his father, whom he believes was cruelly treated by those for whom he cared. In his opinion, remarriage is a tremendous act of betrayal. Gertrude marries the brother of Hamlet’s father and this why Hamlet is upset with his mother. Through her relationship with her son Hamlet, Shakespeare paints a picture of betrayal. In this play, Shakespeare uses a woman called Gertrude, who is among the few women featured in the masterwork. This paper seeks to address Hamlet’s relationship with his mother as brought out in the play though the analysis of the characters. In Hamlet, the must-read chef-d’oeuvre, Shakespeare brings to light the connections between members of a family, namely Hamlet, who is a prince, his late father, his mother Gertrude and his stepfather Claudius. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has in most of his books and in particular, The Tragedies exposed the good and the bad side of family ties, especially between parents and their kids, including oedipal complex issues.

Hardy was notoriously underappreciated during his life. He saw man as doomed to a tragic fate from which there was no real possibility of escape, views arguably influenced by his own reception as a writer. The majority of his work, set mainly in the semi-imaginary county of Wessex, is marked by Hardy's largely pessimistic views on humanity. Thomas Hardy (J– January 11, 1928) was a novelist, short story writer, and poet of the naturalist school, who delineated characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. ![]() ![]() ![]() Get help with access Institutional accessĪccess to content on Oxford Academic is often provided through institutional subscriptions and purchases. This history disrupts now-standard narratives of LGBTQ politics and culture, re-examining the meanings and functions of domestic space both as a mode of social performance and a form of cultural citizenship. This introduction argues that home has been a crucial though contradictory space in LGBTQ life and politics-a site of constraint and a site self-expression, a site of isolation and a site of deep connection, a site of secrecy and a site of recognition-a space of normativity and antinormativity. LGBTQ people did not simply reproduce or reject such ideals but rather elaborated new domestic styles and intimacies as a primary means of negotiating their relationship to postwar sexual and gender norms and the nation. ![]() For Americans during the decades after World War II, homemaking was also increasingly understood as both an expression and measure of communal and national belonging. Home has long been privileged in American life as a central site of intimate affiliation, a protected sphere where romance, marriage, and the family were imagined to find their deepest expression. ![]() ![]() As a former criminal barrister myself, I expected this book to communicate how little we value the people and institutions so vital to our liberty. Rape trials have collapsed because police and prosecutors – all victims of the same, sabotaging cuts – have failed to disclose key evidence on which a fair and robust defence depended. Since 2010, 258 courts have shut across England and Wales. Whole areas of law, including family, housing, immigration, debt and employment, have been taken outside the realm of publicly funded legal representation, leaving some of the most vulnerable people at the mercy of a system that is designed to be incomprehensible to even the most highly educated lay person. Over the last near decade of austerity, justice has endured the deepest cuts of any departmental spending in the UK. “Despair” is the experience of another in the court of appeal. “Hell” is the word used by one supreme court judge. It is above all a plea to rescue a justice system that has become utterly broken. ![]() The book is in part a guide to the system – a reminder of how few of us understand it – and in part a first-hand account of the personal dilemmas facing someone whose professional life is spent in and out of crown courts, police cells and prisons. This is a portrait of the criminal justice system in England and Wales today, as seen by the Secret Barrister, a criminal advocate who keeps his identity a closely guarded secret so that, he argues, he can be unrestrained in his critique. ![]() ![]() ![]() And what’s interesting in reading these stories is discovering how very practical and accessible these suggestions are. ![]() She also sought a lot of inspiration and information through a series of interviews she conducted with famous (Robert Cialini, Seth Godin, Tom Peters) and not so famous people who have all become thought leaders in their respective fields.īy deconstructing the process that some successful leaders took and using her own personal insight, Clark gives us great pointers on how to unleash the leader within. ![]() She has paved her own way to the top and she gives us quite a bit of information as to how that happened and what made her become a recognized thought leader-which she undeniably is!īut that’s not all.
