Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth to kill Duncan so that he can become the new king; however, Macbeth is too cowardly to do it. After much contemplation, he says that he will not kill Duncan

Consequently, one of the most famous debates, questioning Hamlet’s antic disposition, has split the population into those that believe he was not mad, merely acting, and others who believe he had gone completely mad and his occasional “sane” episodes were just a coping mechanism to deal with the insanity. Standing with the latter side, my perception on the play is somewhat different as I believe that Hamlet’s vulnerability had exceeded not just to

Van Gogh is not simply acknowledging his mental instability by painting his ear as bandaged but in his steady gaze invokes the viewer to dismiss the incident and view him as sane, as recovering. He writes Theo again several days later, soon after the painting would have been finished: “It astonishes me already when I compare my condition today with what it was a month ago...
