Hamlet remix

Locutionary acts:
-the meaning of something said.
-a speech act.
-voicing words to someone, for them just to hear.
-the comic strip above is a perfect example because she is telling him something and he is listening.




Illocutionary:
-is the act performed by a speaker.
-represents a state of affairs.
-"I pronounce you man and wife" is another example.
- The picture above represents it because the man is saying not to litter and he is putting trash into the garbage. He is speaking and doing actions at the same time. 



Prelocutionary:
-Persuading, frightening, convincing, or annoying are all examples.
- the consequence for saying something.
-people get a certain effect or feeling from someone saying something.
-The example above is good because it shows that as everyone is saying something someone is thinking and understanding in their own ways.


These all relate to Hamlet because as a character he uses all these of ways of speaking and acting. With certain characters he would act upon his actions, but then with others he would just say something to get a reaction out of them, like he did often with King Claudius.
