this case, the harmony structure can be divided into two parts: verses and choruses. During the verses, the chord progression has a minor sound that creates a melancholic feeling (VIm-I-IIΔ-VIm). In this parts, time seems suspended in a floating mental environment, where the arrangement consists of a dissonant arpeggio played with an untuned guitar. During choruses, the chord progression changes to a more major sounding one (V-VIm-IV-I), lifting the song to an ethereal sensation. Other ambient and
Hamlet’s Insanity: From Act to Actuality In regards to William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, there exist two main hypotheses explaining Hamlet’s “madness” (II.ii.93): one, Hamlet feigns lunacy to further his revenge; two, Hamlet slowly descends into insanity as the play progresses. To argue for the second theory that Hamlet is truly psychotic, we can divide the development of his dementia into three main phases with Hamlet’s soliloquies representing transitions between each phase.

manually dilute the amount of oxygen in Ratchets brain. This strangulation is a checkpoint in the progression of his psychosis because at that point, schizophrenia had overcome him, and Ratchets “rigged game” (Kessey 86) remained intact. Much like Mcmurphy, Hamlet was no stranger to these symptoms. He too experienced the very same red flags, although to a higher degree. The loss of empathy in Hamlet's case was extreme, as the slaying of Polonius seemed like dust in the wind to him. Much like Mcmurphy
