Dunstan and Boy's Relationship

Hamlet

Persona of Dunstan

After looking at Boy and Dunstan separately, we find out that their relationship is an illusion in itself

In reality, Boy and Dunstan despise each other, and just appear as friends to other people, including themselves

Quote:

As I perchance hereafter shall think meet

To put an antic disposition on -

That you, at such time seeing me, never shall,

With arms encumbered thus, or this head-shake,

Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,

As ‘Well, we known’, or ‘We could and if we would’,

Or ‘If we list to speak’, or ‘There be and if there might’,

Or such ambiguous giving out, to note

That you know aught of me – this do swear,

So grace and mercy at your most need help you.

  • "Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many."

  • Shows a contrast and comparison between what something appears to be versus what it actually is
  • "I experienced a remarkable rising of my spirits, which i can only attribute to the relief of guilt" (160)

  • "A form of piety. A sense of guilt unexpiated. Indolence. I have always been meaning to put them in some proper place, but i haven't found it yet" (263)

And because everything ends, because dreams ends, stories end, life ends, at the finish of everything we use his name. 'It is finished,' we tell one another, 'it's over, Khattam-Shud; the end.”

The theme of appearance vs reality is prevalent in Fifth Business, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, and Hamlet through the use of characters who attempt to appear one way but in reality suits an archetype, which show the comparison between hero and villain figures

Dictator Definition:

A dictatorship is a form of government characterized by the absolute rule of one person or a very small group of people who hold all political power. While a dictatorship is a form of government in some nations, just as monarchy or representative democracy is the form of government in others, dictatorships are seen by non-dictatorships as dangerous and cruel because of the way they tend to treat their citizens.
