Hamlet And Fifth Business Analysis

Many seemingly self-governed decisions a hero acts out on are usually triggered by past events. Events that have passed and outwardly been forgotten may not be apparent in the present lives of many, but can leave behind emotional tolls responsible for influencing significant decisions in the midst of being made. Following deeper into the plot of both Hamlet and Fifth Business, the stories unravel to show both heroes, and villains, have made life-altering decisions, that ultimately result in the resolution of the plot, based on previous happenings brought upon by Dunstan and Horatio, the fifth businesses. In the case of Boy Staunton, an emotionally underdeveloped millionaire, one could assume the social empire he built for himself stemmed from

coming from an inherently rich family or his raging superiority complex, but, only one person present knows the truth behind his motivation. Additionally, said character, Dunstan Ramsey, not only knows the reason for his need for success but was also the reason behind both Boy and Magnus Eisengram’s life changing event. Due to a snowball thrown by Boy, and dodged by Dunstan, the sanity of Mary Dempster was cut short when the not well aimed snowball hit her pregnant belly and induced a premature labor. Due to Dunstan’s actions taken after the birth of her son Paul Demspter, who later grew up to be Magnus Eisengrim the antagonist to Boy’s character, both characters grew up to be the characters foils to each others lives.
