- according to deBoer, Hamletis a play about a man who could not make real what was found in his mind
- for much of the play Hamlet is able to speak but not do
- when instructing the players on how to act, Hamlet is insistent that they do not overact. He wants the passion to be smooth and sound unscripted.
- this exemplifies the use of self performance to create a social context which supports a visage of sincerity.
- to over do a self performance would be to undercut the socially excepted notion of a sincere emotional state, taking away your power to create a performative utterancethat relies on a context of emotional appropriateness
- as Hamlet is instructing the players to not overact he needs to be mindful to not overact himself, as he is putting on a show of madness. According to Hamlet, madness is defined by the kind of exaggerated actions in movements associated with poor acting or overacting
- Hamlet suggests that the goal of the theater has been to "hold up a mirror to nature"
- perlocutinary= relating to an act performed by a speaker unto a listener by act of speaking
- words have the effect of force and action.
- Hamlet is creating a reality.
- in his soliloquies, Hamlet progresses into thinking that he is not a good guy, and realizes his sins.
- what enables him to evolve from a man seemingly incapable of giving his stated aims physical expression.
