" Hamlet" & " To His Coy Mistress" 

Hello readers!

                             Here is my blog about Hamlet and To His Coy Mistress. As we all know that Tom Stoppard wrote an play in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. And we know that these two characters were marginalized in Hamlet, so If Shakespeare marginalized the powerless in his own version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Stoppard has marginalized us all in a era when in the eyes of sone all of us are caught up in forces beyond our control.

                         Hamlet acts as a foil or opposite, to Rosencrantz and guildenstern unlike his friends, Hamlet does not seem cinfused by the incomprehensibility of the world, nor does he have trouble making choices or decoding how to act. Unlike that of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet's fact is portrayed on stage. Those familiar with the play Hamlet knows that he disappears from the ship and gose back to Elinor.

                        Rosencrantz and guildenstern constantly make ridiculous comments, and the men are wholly unable to understand their specific circumstances or the larger forces at work in the world. For example they applayed as the tragedies gather around them, mistaking the tragedians evil intentions for a performance. As hr leaves the stage, Guildenstern stern cannot remember if he is in fact Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. 

                               The action of stoppard's play takes place mainly " in the wings" of Shakespeare's, with brief appearance of major characters from Hamlet who fragments of the original 's scences. Between these episodes the two protagonists voice their confusion at the provress of events occurring on stage without them in Hamlet, of which they have no direct knowledge.

" To His Coy Mistress"

     

                                " To His Coy Mistress" is a cavalier poem written by the English author and politicians Andrew marvell editor during on just before the English interregum. It was published post humously in 1681.This poem is considered one of marvell's finest and is possibly the best recognized carpe diem poem in English.

                             This poem types of feelings inside you. One, when you didn't know the meaning, you will feed the deft skill of worlds in this poem.
