5. The singular and peculiar life is bound
With all the strength and armor of the mind
To keep itself from noyance, but much more
That spirit upon whose weal depends an rests
The lives of many.The cease of majesty
Dies not alone, but like a gulf doth draw
what's near it with it. It is a massy wheel
Fixed on the summit of the highest mount,
To whose huge spokes ten thousand lesser things
Are mortised and adjoined ;which, when it falls,
Each small annexment , petty consequences,
Attends the boisterous ruin. Never alone
Did the king sigh but with a general groan.
Speech of Rosencrantz’s

9. What is cultural study wants:
• so cultural studies given us as a view from history and
historical events or incident
• marginalized character had been ignored
• their noble characteristics had been suppressed in spit
of having morality and high moral values where as hero
from royal and wealthy families were being described an
noble character in spite of king immoral and inconstant
people so cultural studies wants us to have a look at
these marginalized character

11. Hamlet’s lacks
•Hamlet has many lacks for example he has a chance to
kill Claudius while praying to god Hamlet thinks that if,
he kills Claudius now then he will directly go to heaven
because he is praying to God but if he had killed
Claudius at that time then he would not have killed
innocent polonious.
• Hamlet does not think of his two best friends with
whom he has spent a lovely time and decides to put an
end to their deaths.
