- Acting on something creates a sense of reality
- Hamlet doesn't meet expectations (created by ghost) which makes him feel negative
- what Hamlet hears is locutionary
- going along with Claudius and not saying or doing anything is illocutionary
- the way he talks is perlocutionary
- Hamlet is stuck in a cycle about his feelings
- talking negatively will inhibit actions
- how do words affect ones personality
- is there a real self or do you creat yourself through what you say and do
- Polonius is a character of words (similar to Hamlet) and Claudius is a character of actions
- Killing Claudius while he is on his knees isn't a heroic act
