Why does it take so long for Hamlet to get his revenge? He
knows that his uncle is the one who killed his father, the
ghost of his father actually shows up and tells him in the
first scene.
EDGAR:
He had about a million opportunities. And he didn't have to
stage a fake play to know that Claudius was guilty.
MARIA:
It's possible that he's just not a violent person. Sure, we're
used to stories about men solving their problems with
violence, but in a way it's more realistic for him to be
bothered by the idea of taking a life, even if it's somebody
he hates.
RIKU:
Actually, I agree. Hamlet is just going through the motions
because his father expects him to take revenge, but that
doesn't mean he wants to
EDGAR:
So, in other words, Hamlet takes a long time to get his
revenge because he doesn't like being in the role of the
retaliator.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
