-Hamlets soliloquies create understandings and expectation for himself and also a feeling of himself that is increasingly negative as the play goes on.
-Hamlet is creating a sense of reality by performing/talking
-Austen's theory refers to Shakespeare's play to be perlocutionary
-Hamlet is reinforcing through his soliloquies that he's not the guy to perform the murder of Claudius
-Hamlet is thinking about his thought process and thinks he will not be able to complete the action if he continues to overthink the issue
-he judges himself too harshly and that hinders his confidence to complete the murder of Claudius
-The speaking of oneself inhibits the actions they will perform because they begin to tell their self they're not as good as they truly are
-we create ourselves as we speak and act
-Polonius is more like Hamlet then Claudius because he never performs actions, he just sits back and observes, he's a creature of words and language only transporting information from person to person based on the situation he's involved in; he's all about the verbal exchange; really wants to figure things out through the use of language
-Claudius performs actions, is quick to do something instead of saying he's going to do it
-Claudius was praying out of guilt and sin and because of this his prayer did not go through because it was an unsympathetic act because he knows he is going to be killed sooner or later
-Hamlet didn't kill him because he wanted to find a better more successful way to kill Claudius instead of while Claudius was praying to God
-Claudius is overall a rotten character even when he's at his most honest self
-in the story there are bigger issues between the characters than the actual importance of the characters
