Hamlet

Shakespeare gives very distinct voices to each of the characters in Hamlet. Hamlet and King Claudius' voices differ tremendously. Shakespeare fills Hamlet's voice with many methaphors and poetic language to convey his sensitivity and sorrow. Hamlet's language helps the reader connect with and further understand his sadness regarding the loss of his father. The Queen is sensitive to Hamlet's mourning. On the other hand, King Claudius is completely insensitive to Hamlet's mourning and does not seem to care whatsoever. King Claudius' language is extremely stern and assertive. Furthermore, Hamlet and King Claudius' voices contrast with one another in that Hamlet is very snesitive and in touch with his feelings while King Claudius does not even appear to have feelings.
