Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 14 AIL 1321 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Hamlet Against Faustus
Captions available
The idea
Hamlet's soliloquy weighs a choice he need not make yet; Faustus's records a choice already made and running out. One is deliberation and the other is consequence. Both are soliloquies, and an exam question about purpose would want that difference.
In practice
Deliberation against consequence.
Where people slip
