    How did we all do then? I chose question 1 for Hamlet, linking instability with the alienation of Hamlet's character, specifically when he's considering life or death. :beard:

    Pretty much the same as you, focused on the prayer scene and his repulsion at his mother xD

    Ironically after starting this thread, I didn't choose Hamlet
    Hope everyone done well xD

    I choose question 1 also for Hamlet! Focused on his suicide thoughts and utter disgust at his mother. Also, examined the final scene when he says to Laertes, "Give me your pardon, sir, i've done you wrong" I said it was the eponymous character, Hamlet's optimum point of instability! Hope i get away with it! lol
