[Insert a Good Title Here]
In Shakespeare's infamous play Hamlet, Shakespeare use of language through the characters Claudius and Hamlet demonstrates how complex they both are. Claudius pretends to act genuine and sincere in regards to the death of his dear brother; however, that is all a façade. There's a deeper, figurative meaning behind most things he says. Moreover, Hamlet is like Claudius based on his two-sided nature. He only speaks his true, honest feelings in asides to the audience; therefore, making it hard for the audience to understand how Hamlet feels until he is alone with his own thoughts. Together, Claudius and Hamlet create an interesting and elaborate dynamic through their dialogues amongst other characters and through their soliloquies which allows the audience to decipher between their public and private demeanor.
