1. The conflict created when the will of an individual opposes the will of the majority is the recurring theme of many novels and plays. From Hamlet, select a character who is in opposition to his or her society. In a critical essay, analyze the conflict and discuss the moral implications for the individual, the society, and the work as a whole.
2. In some novels or plays certain parallel or recurring events prove to be significant. In an essay, describe the major similarities and differences in a sequence of parallel or recurring events in Hamlet and discuss the significance of such events to the work as a whole.
3. In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. In a well-organized essay, explain how the scene or scenes of violence in Hamlet contributes to the meaning of the complete work.
