The eNotes Blog Remembering W. S.Merwin

Remembering W. S.Merwin The poet W. S. Merwin passed away on March 15, marking the conclusion to a long and richly productive life. His body of poetry proves difficult to sum up. Over the course of his seven decades of writing, Merwin changed again and again, in style and tone and subject. Merwin’s first volumes of verse, published in the 1950s, reveal his context and influences- Graves, Auden, and Yeats- more than his own passions. These early works are crisply formal and erudite, commanded by a cryptic, abstruse intelligence. In the 1960s, anger entered Merwin’s verse. His poetry became heated by the political woes of the age, namely the Vietnam War and the mounting environmental crisis. By then, Merwin had slipped free from traditional verse forms and had shed almost all punctuation. These qualities can be found in the opening lines of â€Å"For a Coming Extinction† (1967): Gray whaleNow that we are sending you to The EndThat great godTell him That we who follow you invented forgivenessAnd forgive nothing In the late 1970s, Merwin moved to Hawaii, where his poetry ripened into a masterful and unmistakable style. Merwin studied Buddhism and ecology, translated classical Asian poetry, and slowly transformed a blighted pineapple plantation into a thriving rainforest- activities to which he was committed for the rest of his life. The passions of Merwin’s life shine through his art, which increasingly reflected his natural surroundings through beautifully minute observation. Indeed, Merwin’s later poems show the workings of a mind attuned to the riches of the present moment and calibrated to the slow cycles of soils, trees, and migrating birds. In these poems, Merwin’s signature lack of punctuation conveys the immediacy of felt experience and the layered character of time. Consider â€Å"The Making of Amber† (2009): The September flocks form cryinggathering southwardeven small birds knowingfor the first timehow to fly all the way as oneat daybreak the split figis filled with dewthe finch finds itlike something it remembersthen across the afternoonthe grape vine hangs low in the doorwayand grapes one by onetaste warm to the tonguetransparent and soundlessrich with late daylight The poem exemplifies the marvel of Merwin’s best poetry, in which his immense technique seems to disappear, leaving on the page moments of delight, sorrow, or wonder. Merwin’s loss is irreplaceable, but in his poetry he left the record of a life deeply lived and beautifully expressed. As long as there are readers of poetry, his work will live on.

Aunque habitualmente a este tipo de autorizacià ³n se les llama visa humanitaria en realidad no es un visa, sino que se trata de un parole, es decir, una autorizacià ³n extraordinaria que se otorga cuando no se cumplen los requisitos ordinarios para obtener una visa. Requisitos para solicitar una parole humanitaria Los requisitos para calificar para solicitar la parole humanitaria son cuatro: Estar fuera de EE.UU.No poder obtener una visa para EE.UU. por ser inadmisibleEl ingreso a EE.UU. serà ­a temporalLa razà ³n por la que se pide el parole es de naturaleza humanitaria o por razones de beneficio pà ºblico. Hay ms de 20 visas no inmigrante distintas para ingresar a Estados Unidos, cada una con sus caracterà ­sticas y requisitos. Adems, chilenos y espaà ±oles y ciudadanos de otros 36 paà ­ses  no la necesitan para viajes por tiempo inferior a 90 dà ­as. Si no es posible obtener ninguna de estas visas, a veces es posible solicitar un waiver, tambià ©n conocido como perdà ³n o permiso. Si se han agotado todas las posibilidades y no es posible viajar a EE.UU. porque se es inadmisible  podr entonces intentarse obtener la parole humanitaria.  ¿Quà © es una razà ³n humanitaria o beneficio pà ºblico significante para obtener la parole? La ley migratoria de los Estados Unidos establece que se puede solicitar cuando se dà © una de las siguientes causas:   mà ©dica, tanto para visitar a un familiar enfermo o accidentado o  como para recibir tratamiento mà ©dico, cuando no sea posible recibirlo en el propio paà ­s o en uno vecino.presentarse como testigo en un juicio  civil o penalcasos muy excepcionales de reunificacià ³n familiar, cuando se trata de una separacià ³n entre adulto - nià ±o menor de 16 aà ±os o en casos de incapacidad fà ­sica o mental.cualquier otra que sea considerada grave.  cuando sea un beneficio pà ºblico importante. Son muy importantes los ejemplos para ilustrar estos requisitos. Asà ­, una razà ³n mà ©dica de peso puede ser que un nià ±o enfermo necesite de una operacià ³n que solo se realiza en los Estados Unidos, y se puede pedir la parole para el menor y para su padre o su madre. Otro ejemplo, es si se necesita hacer una donacià ³n de mà ©dula a un hermano, etc.   Un ejemplo de reunificacià ³n familiar puede ser el caso extraordinario en el que un matrimonio obtiene una visa de inmigrante pero la esposa tiene un bebà © despuà ©s de la entrevista en el consulado pero antes de viajar a los Estados Unidos.   Se aplica inmediatamente por el I-130 pero por retrasos en las fechas de prioridad el bebà © tendrà ­a que estar muchos meses separado de su mam, esperando por un nà ºmero de visa disponible. Para evitar esto, podrà ­a solicitarse. Tambià ©n podrà ­a considerarse como base para un parole la necesidad de cuidar a un familiar muy grave o moribundo que se encuentra en EE.UU. o el deseo de asistir a un funeral de una persona cercana.  ¿Quià ©nes pueden presentar la solicitud de parole humanitaria? Pueden hacerlo cualquiera de las siguientes personas: La persona que necesita el parole. Es decir, el beneficiarioUn abogadoUna organizacià ³n sin fin de lucroUn familiar u otra persona como un amigo que est en Estados Unidos y que  patrocina. En este caso à ºltimo caso se debe enviar prueba de estatus migratorio legal en Estados Unidos, como por ejemplo, pasaporte americano, si es ciudadano, green card, si es residente permanente legal, etc.  ¿Cà ³mo solicitar la parole humanitaria? Para realizar la peticià ³n de parole humanitaria es requerimiento completar dos formularios oficiales, pagar y adjuntar documentacià ³n adicional que apoye la peticià ³n.   Existen dos formas muy parecidas de solicitar el permiso. En primer lugar, si el solicitante que fuera de Estados Unidos presenta la solicitud por sà ­ mismo, es decir, una auto-peticià ³n,  las reglas son las siguientes: Antes de comenzar a rellenar los formularios es necesario presentarse en persona en la embajada o consulado de los Estados Unidos y solicitar una pre-autorizacià ³n para llenar el I-131. Si se obtiene, en algà ºn momento que ya se indicar ser necesario acudir al consulado o a un centro de apoyo para que le tomen al solicitante los datos biomà ©tricos, como por ejemplo, las huellas digitales. Adems, una vez obtenida la pre-autorizacià ³n ya se puede ya completar la planilla  I-131.   Esta planilla, que se llama en inglà ©s Application for Travel Document es utilizado en ms casos que nada tienen que ver con la parole humanitaria. Por esta razà ³n es que es fcil confundirse por lo que se recomienda prestar mucha atencià ³n o contratar a un abogado con experiencia en estos casos. La otra planilla que se debe enviar con la aplicacià ³n es la  I-134 que es una declaracià ³n jurada sobre recursos econà ³micos. Incluir la declaracià ³n de impuestos, prueba de empleo actual y,  si se pide el parole por razà ³n mà ©dica, prueba de cà ³mo se va a pagar el tratamiento. Con este requisito se trata de demostrar que el solicitante no se convertir en una carga pà ºblica en el caso de ingresar a EE.UU. Adems, si un abogado colabora en la peticià ³n de este permiso, debe presentarse la forma G-28. Si se solicita para recibir tratamiento mà ©dico debe incluirse documentacià ³n de por quà © no puede recibir dicho tratamiento en su paà ­s ni en los vecinos, papeles mà ©dicos sobre diagnà ³stico y prognosis (cà ³mo se cree que va a ser la evolucià ³n de la enfermedad), cunto tiempo se cree que va a durar el tratamiento, cul es el costo, cà ³mo se va a pagar y cules son los planes para salir de Estados Unidos cuando finalice el tratamiento. Asimismo, adjuntar toda la documentacià ³n adicional y detallada de apoyo que sirva para demostrar que existe una emergencia y tambià ©n la papelerà ­a con documentos personales, como copia legible del pasaporte del solicitante, su certificado de nacimiento o adopcià ³n y, si los tuviera, los certificados de matrimonio y decreto de divorcio.   Adems, escribir una carta concisa pero que contenga todos los puntos sobre por quà © debe aprobarse la parole humanitaria. Esta aplicacià ³n tiene en la actualidad un costo de $575 dà ³lares americanos, pero verificar siempre antes de enviar la solicitud ya que puede cambiar. No es posible solicitar una waiver para no pagar esta cuota. Adems, las personas entre 14 y 79 aà ±os de edad deben pagar $85 ms en concepto de toma de datos biomà ©tricos. Cabe destacar que si algà ºn documento est en un idioma distinto al inglà ©s debe traducirse y  certificar la traduccià ³n. Por el contrario, si la solicitud de la envà ­a un patrocinador que est en Estados Unidos, como por ejemplo un familiar el trmite consiste en rellenar las planillas I-131 y I-134 y adjuntar pago y documentacià ³n adicional como se ha dicho anteriormente. La à ºnica diferencia y muy importante es que no es necesario acudir al consulado por una pre-autorizacià ³n. Adems, en este caso, el patrocinador al llenar el formulario I-134 deber presentar los tax returns de los à ºltimos dos aà ±os.  ¿Cà ³mo se envà ­a la documentacià ³n para la parole humanitaria? Depende de dà ³nde est la persona que realiza la solicitud: Si el que solicita el parole es la persona que solicita ingresar a Estados Unidos y por lo tanto se encuentra fuera del paà ­s, entonces la documentacià ³n se entrega o envà ­a al consulado o embajada, quien la remite a la oficina del Humanitarian Affairs Branch (HAB, por sus siglas en inglà ©s), que est ubicado en Washington D.C. Por el contrario, si se cuenta con un patrocinador en Estados Unidos o se tiene aquà ­ abogado, entonces existen dos direcciones. Emplear la correcta segà ºn el tipo de envà ­o: Para correo ordinario: USCIS PO Box 660865 Dallas, TX. 75266 Para correo exprà ©s o mensajerà ­a:  USCIS Attn: HP 2501 S. State Hwy 121, Business Suite 400 Lewisville, TX 75067 Respuesta de USCIS a la solicitud de parole humanitaria Como regla general, el Servicio de Inmigracià ³n y Ciudadanà ­a (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglà ©s) responde por carta al solicitante y a su abogado, si lo tiene, entre 90 y  120 dà ­as despuà ©s del envà ­o. Sin embargo, si existe urgencia se puede solicitar tramitacià ³n de emergencia y se puede resolver en cuestià ³n de dà ­as. Si pasan ms de 120 dà ­as y no ha habido comunicacià ³n de ningà ºn tipo es recomendable escribir al lugar al que se envià ³ la solicitud y pedir informacià ³n.   Si se deniega la peticià ³n de la parole humanitaria, no se puede apelar, pero si cambian las circunstancias o se consiguen ms documentos para apoyar la solicitud, se puede aplicar de nuevo. Por el contrario, si se aprueba, se notifica al solicitante y a su abogado, si lo tiene. A continuacià ³n la embajada o el consulado se coordinar con el HAB y con el solicitante para entregarle a à ©ste los documentos para viajar a Estados Unidos por el tiempo que se concede el parole, que generalmente es  por el tiempo necesario que dure la emergencia. El parole expira el dà ­a que se  indica en el documento en el que se aprueba o, si se sale antes de Estados Unidos, ese dà ­a. Se puede pedir un nuevo parole una vez que se est en Estados Unidos, es lo que en inglà ©s se llama un re-parole. Esto es, no se trata de una extensià ³n, sino de una nueva aplicacià ³n y se tiene que explicar por quà © se necesita.   La documentacià ³n y el pago se envà ­a a la oficina del HAB: 20 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Ste 3300 Washington, D.C. 20529-2100 Estadà ­sticas y consejos Cada aà ±o fiscal, el USCIS recibe aproximadamente unas 1.200 peticiones para que apruebe parole humanitarias. De ese total, apenas se aprueban 300. Es decir, se niegan el 75 por ciento o lo que es lo mismo, sà ³lo obtienen la aprobacià ³n una de cada cuatro. Los nà ºmeros indican claramente que no es fcil de obtener por lo que conviene estudiar las reglas y si se cree que se cumplen los requisitos contratar a un abogado con experiencia positiva en este tipo de casos. En ningà ºn caso se aprueban peticiones con el fin de saltarse las reglas establecidas por las leyes migratorias de los Estados Unidos. La parole humanitaria es el à ºltimo recurso para ingresar a Estados Unidos. Sà ³lo se debe buscar cuando exista una razà ³n humanitaria urgente o un beneficio pà ºblico importante que la justifique y siempre que se hayan previamente agotado todas las posibilidades de obtener una visa.   Este es un artà ­culo informativo. No es asesorà ­a legal.

BUSINESS LAW Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 words

BUSINESS LAW - Essay Example Sole proprietorship This form of business organization is one that is organized under the management of an individual. The organization only depends on the contribution of the individual. The setting of this particular organization is based on contribution and profit sharing by an individual. However, this form of business setting can have support from family members or sponsors which do not reflect on the formal participation in the creation of the business entity. According to Ray (2001) sole proprietorship is a creation of a decision making process by one person. He further points out that, this form of business organization survival does not depend on contributions from donors or business partners. Additionally, a sole proprietor may use a business name apart from his legal name to represent his business entity. Ray (2001) points out that the sole proprietor owns all the assets in the business. In describing the formation and operation of a sole proprietorship, Pettet (2005) says that it is only more that buying and selling of services and goods. He further points out that the description of the activities in the business is automatically shaped by the owner’s activities. In this business form, taxation is only done on the business as the source of income for the owner. The owner is not further taxed as an individual. Additionally, the location of a sole proprietor business is decided by the owner and it is not dictated by any law. Advantages (Besley & Brigham, 2008) There are few legal formalities that are involved in its creation There is no profit sharing as the entire profit generated is taken by the proprietor The business entity can benefit from contributions by family members and relatives The capital required for the creation of a sole proprietorship is minimum compared to the amount required for the creation of other business entities. Operating challenges are minimized since no complex record keeping systems are required The unlimited liabi lity status of the owner attracts creditors Disadvantages (Besley & Brigham, 2008) The proprietor incurs all the loss that may be generated by the organization The exposure of this form of business to sponsors is minimized The proprietor is the sole contributor of the capital required The continuity of this form of business entity is made unpredictable. For instance, if the proprietor dies the business may be dissolved There is a minimized exposure to talent and expertise General partnerships This form of business is based on skill and resources contribution by two or more people (Pettet, 2005). Partnerships are legally registered as business creation by two or more people. The contribution by each partner should be voluntary and the contribution by each partner is legally recorded. Such business entities are legally bound by rules and regulation created by governments. The contribution of resources and capital may vary in terms of quantity but must be on agreeable terms and compens ation conditions. The contribution by a partner dictates the sharing profit ratio: the highest contributor of capital and resources get a greater share of the profit. Name of partners, loss and profit sharing ratio, name of partnership, capital of the business of the entity and the provisions in settling differences are the constitution of the legal provisions of general partnerships

The Daily Life of Ancient Greeks :: Exploratory Essays Research Papers

The Daily Life of Ancient Greeks Life in Greece in ancient times would remind you of your own life in many ways. There was school, family, athletic competition, and social gatherings. Knowing that participants in their sporting events competed nude or that you rarely knew your husband/wife until the wedding day does however, make you grateful for the society that you live in today. Â   Babies Life for the Greeks in Athens began in their home. Babies were delivered by the women of the family, and only in cases of serious complications was a mid-wife called. Large families were not desired by Athenians since the inheritance was to be divided up equally among sons and daughters requiring dowries. So, unwanted children were not uncommon. Killing the babies was illegal, but a new-born could be exposed to die. These unwanted babies were left outside in a clay pot either to be claimed by a childless woman or rescued and brought up as a slave (Connolly, 32). Slaves were common in ancient times, if a family was reasonably well off they usually had two or three slaves. Slaves would take on the tasks of motherhood, some would even breast feed the babies. The slaves also worked the fields and helped the mother with other household duties, such as making clothes (The Study of Women, online). Â   Education Boys would begin school at age seven. They were also given a paidagogos, a slave that accompanied them everywhere. The paidagogos taught the boy manners, punished him when he did wrong, and even sat through classes with the boy to make sure he did his work. School went from half an hour after daybreak to half an hour before the sun set. Physical education was a big part of a boys education (Connolly, 34). When boys were 18, they no longer went to school; instead they began their 2 year military training. Young girls did not go to school. Middle and upper class girls leaned to read and write from a female tutor at home (Connolly, 35). Girls generally stayed at home until they were married, which was around the age of 15 (Ancient Civilizations, online). They helped their mother in the house and worked in the fields when they were needed (Exploring Ancient, online). Â   Marriage Marriages were arranged. Because girls lived such sheltered lives, they usually had never even met the men their fathers agreed for them to marry. Men were mostly in their twenties when they got married, the girls were usually 15.

Hamlet: Tragic Hero, Indecisive Villain

Let it be known that Hamlet spent every single act of Hamlet, give or take a few scenes, attempting to justify a reason to follow through with killing his uncle. He suffered through a brutal, miserable, and more-than-slightly ridiculous period of time where his indecision tirelessly tore him to emotional shreds. Throughout the play, Hamlet’s actions (and inaction) were dictated by intense opposing factors of the id, ego, and superego factors of the mental human psyche. Hamlet’s id reflected his burning desire for a sexual relationship with his mother, the ego was characterised by the grueling lengthy time period Hamlet spent trying to finalize his decision, and the superego was defined by a constant ongoing battle between the ghost of King Hamlet giving Hamlet directions on what to do and Hamlet’s own person conflicts with procuring the death of his Uncle Claudius.Hamlet Feels ThingsIn Freudian psychology, the id is the impulsive part of human psyche that consist s of all biological personality traits; also known as â€Å"it.† It can be referred to as â€Å"the pleasure principle,† the idea that every impulse should be satisfied immediately. It instinctively decides what a being truly wants and is strongest in a person when they are an infant, and seek attention at their every basic need. As it is not affected by reality or consequences, it must be greatly repressed to keep a being from making mistakes (McLeod). In context of Hamlet, Hamlet’s id is his unresolved, tauntingly conflicting feelings for his mother, Gertrude. This Oedipus Complex allows for the physical representations of Hamlet’s id, which thus intensifies his already burning desires for a sexual relationship with Gertrude as Hamlet has a palpable release for his urges (Chiu).Her character causes further conflict as she seems to consciously provoke excessive anger and passion from Hamlet, most evidently as she so quickly angers Hamlet from her â€Å" incestuous deeds† in Act 3, Scene 4 (and because of this, shows how she herself is affected by the Oedipus Complex and retaliates the feelings that her son has for her). Gertrude is the focus of the anger and passions of not only Hamlet, but the two other main male characters in the play as well — Hamlet’s father and his brother, Claudius. Her strong physical and sexual appetites are brought  to life in popular film representations of Hamlet, specifically Laurence Olivier’s version. In his portrayal of the closet scene, Hamlet furiously throws Gertrude on to her large, central canopied bed and continues of to verbally assault her while having her in an uncomfortably close embrace all the while.G: Have you forgot me? H: No, by the rood not so. You are the queen, your husband’s brother’s wife, and (would it were not so) you are my mother. G: Nay, then I’ll set those to you that can speak. H: Come, come, and sit you down; you shall not budge. You go not till I set you up a glass Where you may see the (inmost) part of you. (III. 4. 18-25)Olivier’s film, as others similar to it, portray a deceitful woman that uses her sexuality to arouse strong responses and powerful reaction in men, as well as to obtain an advantage over them. This gives readers and audiences a clearer view of Gertrude’s character and allow a view of what affects Hamlet’s emotions. (Smith)Claudius himself also physically represents Hamlet’s id. As Claudius is the man that so rapidly replaced King Hamlet, Hamlet is able to direct negative, murderous thoughts towards him without repression. Hamlet wants to and is even directed to take Claudius’ life, and Hamlet’s grief over his father pushes him to do so. (Tuohy)Hamlet is Conflicted, As AlwaysThe ego is the sector of the human psyche that develops to mediate conflict between the unrealistic id and conflicting superego. In contrast to the how the id works thro ugh impulse and desire, the ego operates by the â€Å"reality principle,† finding ways to realistically attain the wishes of the id. This, however, often leads to delayed satisfaction. â€Å"The id is the horse and the ego is the rider,† compared Freud in one of his researches. The submissive ego is often dominated by the controlling id, constantly attempting to meet the needs of the id while taking reality into account. (McLeod)The ego in Hamlet is simply his indecision and the immense amount of time it takes him to make his decision. Hamlet frequently plays a mental mind game with himself, trying to justify finally killing his uncle but always finding a reason to put it off. Hamlet’s task is only to kill Claudius, but that also means killing the man who is living the life he wants, the man who embodies his childhood fantasies. The loathing that should drive him to kill is replaced by self-reproaches that remind him that he himself is no better than the sinner whom he is to punish. (Schaeffer)One other factor that kept Hamlet from acting was that if he did kill Claudius, he would then be king, and he did not take interest in that position. â€Å"O God. I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infantile space, were it not I have bad dreams† (II. ii. 248-250). If he were king, Hamlet would gladly ignore his public office. He wouldn’t be able to, though, because his conscious would bother him and force him to take care of his responsibilities. (Walsh) Hamlet’s internal battle with himself is probably the most dominant representation of ego in the play. He is torn with emotions: pity and outrage for his father, shame and scorn for his mother, and guilt over his reluctance to follow through with his orders, his responsibility than he inwardly repudiates. (Walsh)Hamlet Has Morals, Who Knew?The superego part of the human psyche incorporates the values and morals learned from an early age. The main function of the superego is to control the id’s impulses, especially those that society looks down upon such as sex and aggression. It also has the power to persuade the ego towards moral solutions instead of just realistic ones. The superego is the most complex sect of the psyche as it is made up of two parts: the conscious and the ideal self. The conscious is responsible for the emotions felt after a decision is made, which is guilt more often than anything else. The ideal self is an imaginary, made up picture of how a person ought to be. It represents career goals, how one ought to acts towards others, and how to become a functioning human being in society. These two parts combine to form the superego and to aid in the attempts of hindering the id. (McLeod)In context of Hamlet, there are multiple conflicting superegos that hinder Hamlet in his decision to kill Claudius. The ghost of King Hamlet is the primary superego in favor of killing Claudius. â€Å"Taint not thy mind, nor le t thy soul contrive / against thy mother ought. Leave her to heaven. / And to those thoughts that in her bosom lodge / to pick and sting her.† (I. v. 85-88) Hamlet is extremely conflicted, because his father’s ghost found him, and specifically ordered Hamlet to avenge his death.This unwelcome paternal superego exacts the killing of Claudius even as it forbids Hamlet to kill himself. In his request, King Hamlet reveals that because Gertrude fell so quickly to Claudius, the King feels emasculated. King Hamlet engenders sexual confusion in Hamlet as he asks him to identify with his feminized self. Claudius killed King Hamlet, and thus King Hamlet â€Å"is in the feminine position of being penetrated by the man who has already penetrated his wife,† according to Stone. The King impedes the son’s mind by saying that Claudius â€Å"won by lustful sin, the heart of my most seeming virtuous queen.† (I. v. 53)By highlighting Gertrude’s fickleness and s hallowness in this quote, the ghost characterizes her as a damsel that Hamlet needs to save. Hamlet feels as if he’s morally obligated to complete the task for his father, and to â€Å"save† his mother from such a monster, and these intense feelings supplement as a secondary superego in favor of killing Claudius. There were many other minor superego factors opposed to killing Claudius, however. Some were simple, such as the law, religion, and Hamlet’s own morals.The law simply forbid murder, especially in Hamlet’s case as he was the Prince of Denmark and having the prince kill the king would be an abomination. Hamlet’s religion held him back from his task because Hamlet was taught that killing was a sin, therefore it should not be committed and vengeance should be left to God and God alone. Hamlet’s own morals also stood in his way, as he had firm beliefs that killing was wrong. (Stone)Claudius himself, though he is a facet of Hamlet’ s id, is also a representation of Hamlet’s superego. Hamlet’s loyalty to his father breaks down into subconcious identification with the brother who murdered him; and is â€Å"the brother† now possess exactly what Hamlet desires: Gertrude. Because of this, Hamlet is engrossed in a subconscious rivalry with Claudius, as he  constantly battles him for Gertrude’s attentions. (Walsh)In the EndUltimately, Hamlet’s refusal to make a decision became his decision. â€Å"My fate cries out!† (I. iv. 58) He is in turmoil for so long, he becomes mad with despair. His despondency seems more focused on his mother’s remarriage than it does on his father’s death, even after the revelation of his uncle’s crime. There were countless opportunities to kill Claudius, but Hamlet always found excuses to avoid it. The real reason why Hamlet never killed Claudius: killing Claudius would mean that Hamlet would also be killing a small part of hi mself; the part that loved Gertrude..Things soon change, however. After Gertrude dies in the final scene, Hamlet no longer has a need to repress his sexual desires. His strength returns, and thus he is finally able to kill Claudius. After Claudius’ death, Hamlet no longer struggles, and can therefore finally rest (die peacefully). (Tuohy)The factors that arise from Hamlet’s inability to make the decision to kill Claudius or not arise from his id, ego, and superego. The id being his desire for an Oedipal relationship with his mother, the ego being the time it took to follow through with a decision, and the superego being many factors, dominantly the ghost of King Hamlet. The id was a stronger force than the the super ego, which was the reason behind all of Hamlet’s emotional outbursts. Hamlet was only able to find inner peace and kill Claudius after Gertrude died, which takes the possibility of his desires away. After he had completed his mission and he did not h ave to live for Gertrude anymore, he could finally die in peace.
