Berardinelli gives background information on Hamlet itself when talking about how “legendary actors John Gielgud, Richard Burton, and Laurence Olivier have taken the lead role” (Berardinelli).

Unit 4 Journal C.S. Lewis, “Sonnet 1” (from Five Sonnets), pages 476-477 Shadow and Light This sonnet brings to mind the feelings one has when faced with fear or loss. Lewis puts it beautifully that we all grieve in different manners, but that our pain is the same. I feel that he makes a call for people to be more understanding of others.

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar contains several references to Roman mythology. There are also many references to Julius Caesar in various movies, songs, and television shows. William Shakespeare wasn’t Roman, but he did incorporate several references to gods and goddesses to show that it took place during a time when they heavily believed in mythology.
