In this soliloquy Hamlet considers suicide. He can not decide if it is better to die and be freed or to live with his “outrageous fortune” . However he is unsure what happens after death.

“the undiscover’d country, from whose bourn no traveller returns”

This is a metaphor. Talking about death as an undiscovered country from which no one returned to tell what it is like. This means that Hamlet is scared of death because it is the country which was never discovered and because of this fear it “makes us rather bear those ills we have. Then fly to others that we know not of”. The same way he is afraid to take action on his uncle because of the unknown outcome of his actions he rather not do anything.

Hamlet used another metaphor later on in the play. He talks about how much he hurt his friend laertes by accidentally killing polonius.

“I have shot my arrow o’er the house and hurt my brother”

In this metaphor Hamlet talks about how he attacked the unseen and hurt a friend with out intending to do it. He relates to his mistake when he stabbed and killed polonius through the curtain aiming to kill claudius. By killing polonius he hurt both ophelia his girlfriend and laertes his friend because he was their father . He did not aim to hurt them.

Cornelius sends soldiers to find Polonius’ body. While Rosencrantz reports that Hamlet will not reveal the location. Hamlet says that Polonius is being eaten by worms. Hamlet speaks how the flesh of royalty can be eaten by bugs. And then by beggars. Cornelius decides to send Hamlet to England because he is mad.

GUILDENSTERN and ROSENCRANTZ ask Hamlet where the body of Polonius is hidden.He mentions it is burned.  He however tells them that he does not trust them and they are sponges.

To exist or not to, that’s the question : whether it is better to suffer living a troubled life or fix those problems. To suicide and end all of this pain. Should I ignore this and live the nightmare. BUt I’m scared what happens when I die. Death like the undiscovered country that no one returns from.

The social network is a movie about Mark Zuckerberg and the invention of a social network called facebook. I chose Mark Zuckerberg as an anti-hero . Mark is a undergraduate at Harvard University in the united states of America.  He is very intelligent and talented in coding and computer skills. You can see this during the lesson scene of the movie where he is not focusing on the lesson but before leaving he still knows the right answer .

From the start of the movie you can see his anti-social behaviour from the way he treats his girlfriend. After she breaks up with him he writes comments about her and other people from his university on his blog. This gives him the idea to create a website called Facemash which is a service to compare and rank the looks of students from the university using pictures illegal obtained from university websites . This makes puts him in trouble with University authorities . During asking questions Mark shows off his arrogance and demands recognition from the University Staff because he bypassed securities set up by technicians.

He is then found by a pair of successful sport athletes from this university. Who want him to create their project “The Harvard Connection” a social network exclusive to Harvard. Mark takes this job but has no intention of helping, he concentrates on his project called “thefacebook”. But before he can launch this new service he needs money and he asks his friend Eduardo who agrees to give him money but he will have some shares in his company and be one of the founders.

As the project evolves and is launched the site becomes more and more popular and the same happens to Mark and his partner Eduardo. While Mark is focused on making thefacebook popular and cool Eduardo wants to make money from it using advertising. He schedules meetings with potential partners during which Mark shows his anti-social behaviour by not focusing and making sounds causing the advertisers to think he is not serious because of his rudeness. He recognises that Eduardo does not believe in this project despite the popularity and growth it gets. Mark soon meets the founder of Napster Sean Parker . Sean impresses Mark with his potential and professionalism.

Soon after Eduardo engages in more outside projects Mark takes and slowly induces Sean into his place he also dilutes his shares for other investors as well as removes him from the position of co-founder. This makes me label him as an anti-hero the most.

Mark is antisocial to other people. Despite his intelligence he can not hold his friendship with his Harvard University friend Eduardo and replaces him even though he was his best friend. He used Eduardo for the money and left him. Mark Zuckerberg definitely lacks heroic attributes due to his personality and actions.

This scene starts with Polonius and his man talking about laertes. Polonius wants the man to spread bad rumours about laertes and to give him some money. Next ophelia comes declaring that Hamlet went mad with love for her making polonius feel guilty that he didn’t believe in their relationship earlier.

In this scene the characters discuss the death of king of Denmark (Hamlet’s dad). the new king has a speach about how everyone should forget about the old king and focus on him. Hamlet decided to not obey this. He is sad about his father. He is also disgusted with him mother marrying him after so short time.

In this scene Hamlet horatio and marcellus wait outside to find the ghost that is apparently there every night. When tthe ghost comes horatio and marcellus speak against Hamlet following them due to the possibility of the ghost tricking Hamlet into death or madness.

“might deprive your soveregnity of reason. And draw you into madness? ” this words were used by ho ratio to warn Hamlet of the ghost.but Hamlet decides to go anyway.

Polonius comes to leartes to say goodbye before he leaves to France. Tells him to not get into fights,

After leartes leaves he warns ophelia of marrying Hamlet since polonius believes that he can not controll himself 

He warns her that he is only attracted to her and does not want to marry her. 

The scene starts with two guards Barnardo and Francisco guarding the castle in a country preparing for war. Telling an unknown person to reveal themselves “stand and unfold yourself.”

They are joined by horatio and marcellus who are allied to them. They discuss a ghost which apparently appears in the area at night.

When the ghost appears it reminds barnardo of the dead king.

This gets the group to think why there is war which is soon explained by horatio. The story of Hamlet winining with the fortinbras of Norway and gaining their land is told.

Then the ghost appears and ho ratio is eager to talk to it so he finds out if the ghost knows the future of this land. But the ghost goes away because dat comes.
