feel clean and refreshed. However, Gene describes the Naguamsett as "ugly,
saline, fringed with marsh, mud and seaweed" (68). When Gene starts a fight
with Quackenbush and falls into the Naguamsett because Quackenbush calls Gene "a
maimed son-of-a-bitch," Gene surfaces from the Naguamsett feeling grimy, dirty
and in desperate need of a bath (71). Much like the clean, refreshing water of

Because Hamlet’s actions do not correspond with his given reasoning, one is forced to look for an alternate explanation for Hamlet’s behavior.

Words: 1545 - Pages: 6.... gain a sense of control of her life to overcome the pressures of society. "As I am now, I am no wife for you" (Ibsen 67) Nora states in a realization of her need for discovery. The time of the play was between 1870- 1880, a time when a separate identity in women was not a welcomed event.
