Sub-plots in Hamlet There are many things that critics say make Hamlet a "Great Work," one of which is the way that Shakespeare masterfully incorporates so many sub-plots into the story, and ties them all into the main plot of Hamlet’s revenge of his father’s murder. By the end of Act I, not only is the main plot identified, but many other sub-plots are introduced. Among the sub-plots are trust in the Ghost of King Hamlet, Fortinbras, and the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia. These
explaining how God casted each one of them for the leadership positions into which one was placed. McNeal explains how God worked in these people’s lives and their hearts using six sub-plots that are extremely important for the reader to understand the entire book. As he says in his book “leaders’ lives are great drama. They have a plot that can be separated into several story lines.

Much Ado About Nothing. The word nothing was pronounced as noting in Elizabethan times, and it seems reasonable to presume that the pun was intended by Shakespeare to signal the importance of observation, spying and eavesdropping in the play. As a plot device, these occurrences propel the action and create humour and tension. The perils of noting incorrectly are portrayed and this leads naturally to the investigation of another major theme, the discrepancy between appearance and reality. Shakespeare

The site used for this study of tree density was located at Beaver Island (42 57.856 ° N latitude and 78 56.720° W longitude). A Garmin GPS 48 was used to determine the starting coordinates we were in, and a phone GPS was also used to confirm the coordinates .The flags were used as point markers for the distances we measured. While the measuring tape was used to accurately measure the distance from one flag to the next, and also to measure the circumference of the trees we were interested in.
