By reigning in my imagination, and confining it to a subject, I am able to express words that someone might perhaps …show more content…

However, just because there is a horizon, doesn’t mean it calls to all people. God has given us more than enough gifts to keep us busy and it wouldn’t do any of them justice by making them compulsory.

Hamlet Essay: Freud and Hamlet Freud believed that Hamlet did not kill Claudius the first time he saw him because Hamlet saw himself as the enemy. This sounds like a solid reason to me. Who am I to say that it is not? However, I also find Samuel Taylor Coleridge's reasoning very interesting. He believed that Hamlet did not kill Claudius the first time because he was praying. This sounds almost too easy, although very legitimate. Now, I am not one to say which interpretation…
