The Strive for Perfection: A Losing Battle (hamlet)
Perfection is merely an ideology that can never be obtained and is constantly being pulled down by human’s own imperfections. In William Shakespeare’s, Hamlet, Shakespeare sheds light on the tragic flaws of heroic characters; the tragedy that befalls Hamlet is the result of his unrealistic idealism, which is the cause of Hamlet’s alienation and indecisiveness. Hamlet’s unrealistic idealism alienates him, and can be seen through his abhorrence of women’s “frailty” (I,ii,146) which causes his relationship

The Suppression of the Other and Self-Enlightenment in William Wordsworth’s Resolution and Independence
My response to William Wordsworth’s Resolution and Independence focuses upon the precept that Wordsworth’s narrator uses the tale of the Leech Gatherer as a means to achieve ‘resolution’ to his own internal crisis. This is highlighted by, in my opinion, the narrator not so much paying attention to the Leech Gatherer’s tale, yet instead his pre-occupation with what he wants to interpret from the tale in order to satisfy his needs.
