C.L.Barber: "Shakespeare's art is distinguished by the
intensity of... - ANSWER-...its investment in the human
family"
explanation for: C. L. Barber: "Shakespeare's art is
distinguished by the intensity of its investment in the
human family" - ANSWER-Hamlet is concerned both by
the external and internal threats to Elsinore
A play about Kings and court which develops on, and
explores the philosophy of the family
,Women were expected to remain confined to the domestic
sphere, thus female characters rarely existed outside of
this within theatre
However Gertrude takes on both a political and domestic
role, but is considered to be an indication of the corruption
of the court and is met with little sympathy in the play, was
Shakespeare condemning her for this? Link to Elizabeth
The Ghost, A1S5: "Ay that incestuous, that adulterous
beast, with witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,-- o
wicked wit, and gifts... - ANSWER-...that have the power
so to seduce! --won to his shameful lust the will of my
most seeming-virtuous queen"
,analysis for: The Ghost, A1S5: "Ay that incestuous, that
adulterous beast, with witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous
gifts,-- o wicked wit, and gifts that have the power so to
seduce! --won to his shameful lust the will of my most
seeming-virtuous queen" - ANSWER-Gertrude is
presented as a prize to be "won", in some sense she is
dehumanised as a trophy for the male characters, whilst
the ghost's use of "most" projects an image of vulnerability
and innocence onto Gertrude that contrasts Claudius the
"adulterous beast"
The qualifier "most" is also used to describe Gertrude in
A1S5, in which Hamlet calls her the "most pernicious
woman" - in both cases, the men project an exaggerated
image onto Gertrude
, "Seeming-virtuous" explores the play's theme of
appearance vs reality
Repetition of "w" stresses these words in the passage:
"witchcraft", "wit", "wicked wit", "won", a storyline of
manipulation (similar to the book of Genesis), and
emphasises the supposed frailty of women
Multiple speculations on why Gertrude marries Claudius
(Hamlet even suggests they had an affair before his
father's death), but Shakespeare does not let us hear this
from Gertrude. This communicates both the anxieties that
existed over female sexuality, and the lack of voice
afforded to women - we hear about Gertrude's sexuality
from the male perspective, never for ourselves (it thus
could be exaggerated out of disgust/attempts to control)
