Read each statement about hamlet, and identify the critical lens the reader used to view the text. the motif of blood in the play highlights the destructive nature of revenge. because queen elizabeth did not have an heir, audiences in shakespeare’s time would likely have been interested in hamlet’s focus on succession. gertrude does what claudius tells her to do because she has little power as a woman living in a male-dominated society.

The critical lenses that are used include formalist lens, historical lens, and feminist lens.

Formalist lens simply means a lens that's used in discarding the notions of societal influence and cultures.

Historical lenses simply means the means of analyzing history in different ways. Feminist lens is the way that literature undermines the social, political, and economic oppression of women.
