Page 2: The Resolution and Plan

The second page reveals Hamlet's transformation from self-loathing to decisive action as he formulates his plan to catch the king's conscience through a theatrical performance. His emotional journey culminates in a strategic decision.

Quote: "The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King."

Highlight: Hamlet's shift from emotional turmoil to tactical planning shows his intellectual approach to revenge.

Vocabulary: "Malefactions" refers to evil deeds or crimes.

Example: Hamlet's plan to use theater as a tool to expose guilt demonstrates his clever manipulation of art for justice.

Definition: "Blench" means to flinch or show fear, which Hamlet hopes to observe in Claudius during the play.

Page 1: Hamlet's Self-Reflection and Comparison

This section presents Hamlet's profound self-examination as he compares himself to a player who can summon deep emotions for fictional characters. The prince's frustration with his own perceived inadequacy becomes evident through his passionate monologue.

Quote: "O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!"

Highlight: Hamlet's comparison between the player's ability to weep for Hecuba and his own inability to act on his father's murder demonstrates his deep self-loathing.

Vocabulary: "Visage wanned" refers to a face growing pale with emotion.

Example: The player's performance, showing tears and emotional distraction for Hecuba, serves as a foil to Hamlet's perceived emotional paralysis.

Definition: "Cue for passion" refers to a legitimate reason for emotional response, which Hamlet believes he has but fails to act upon.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
