The Performative Utterance in Hamlet

-Locutionary force, illocutionary force, perlocutionary force.
-Hamlet is trapped by his own actions and thoughts maybe even going a little crazy because of it.
-Hamlet is a great schemer who can make everyone around him obvilious to his crazy thought out plans.
-The play is meant to be acted which is why there is a couple soliloquies throughout.
-Talks about Hamlet having fake madness and the ways he expresses it in the certain acts.
-Hamlet becomes the man of actions instead of the man of words.
