... over the actual death of his father by still wearing black a year later, and the hasty marriage of his mother to Claudius. Compared to Horatio who is calm and cool throughout the play, and Fortinbras who collected an army to fight for his uncle’s land and honor, Hamlet’s maturity level for his time is low, especially for being a prince. Today Hamlet’s age group is more immature than during his own time so he relates to the youth of the 1990’s better than he does with the adolescents of his own time. Sarcasm, and blunt rudeness is often used by Hamlet in order to offend people that, during his time, he should not have offended. Hamlet often used the hasty m ...

... because he was finally given the opportunity to test his limits of how long he can go without eating. Throughout the entire story the artist is kept inside a cage, and toward the ending of the story, he is treated less and less like a human being. Out of all three of these stories, the hunger artist is the most in control of his life and what he is doing. In "The Trial" the court and its officials are dragging Joseph K. about.

When meeting with the king he is quoted as saying, “The service and the loyalty I woe, In doi ...
