Conventions in Hamlet
This analysis of the key conventions in Hamlet is part of my commentary on the play (Hamlet 243 pages, 100,700 words). These conventions play a major role in understanding and appreciating the character of Hamlet, the most complex and most intelligent of all Shakespeare's tragic figures. Hamlet employs more conventions than any other Shakespearean tragedy and knowledge of these conventions goes a long way in demystifying the enigmatic nature of Hamlet's character and personality. These conven
