Act 3 scene 1
Hamlet’s interaction with ophelia who unbeknownsts to him is there on behalf of claudius and polonius.

The speached followed after Hamlet’s ‘to be or not to be’, is the character playing with ophellias mind. The best way to assert superiorty is to know more than the other, or to confuse the oppenant to question their own thoughts and action, which is what shakespear has done with the character, shown when he questions ophellia on weither he truly gave her gifts and if she is honest and fair (manipulating the homophones). This gives a depth to his physcosis that wouldnt have been heard of as back then. Hamlet playing the mad fool previosly has lead all to underestimate him, thus not pay as much attention to him for him to carry out his plot.

The poem ‘Futility’ uses simular language features as Hamlet in a sense that they are both very descriptive and tend to speak of everything around the main event, being effective as it lets the reader piece it all together and finish it all thenselves, giving a sense of accomplishment, meaning readers enjoy it. If this fails, other interpretations of the writing can be developed by readers, ideas that they can relate to as thats what readers naturally create.
