I need to write an essay on Hamlet for my British Lit course. My problem is that I can't narrow my thesis enough for the paper's length. It should be between 5 and 10 pages. It's a formal paper but not a research paper. I want to write about how Hamlet is surrounded with untrustworthy people and how his affects his behavior. I can't figure out how to narrow it down or organize it. Please any suggestions would be great. I tried other sites for help but they only want to write my paper for me.
Narrowing thesis enough, Help writing essay on Hamlet.
I see you have what your main focus is for essay. Your thesis should be a statement what you would have to further go into detail in your body paragraphs. I never read Hamlet so please excuse me if i do not use accurate information. But based on what you said your thesis statement should sound similar to this but in more depth and more accurate information.
" Through out the novel, Hamlet is surrounded by myriads of untrustworthy people, causing a catalyst affect in his behavior leading to a tragic revenged filled with tragedy."
I hope this is any assistants to your paper. You can use both ideas but just break it down in simplified terms to fit in one sentence. Hope this helps :)

That helps but isn't exactly what I need. I'm more concerned about the overall organization of the paper. It can't be very long. Should I pick specific episodes or characters? How do I narrow it down? I've started to play with it and I want to read smoothly and make sense. I may have something for feedback tonight but any suggestions until then would be great!
I would personally use specific episodes that show important key points that convey how his behavior changes over time. I look forward to reading what you have written.

Well, write about one scene that shows what you mean. Use it as an example to help explain your idea. If you do that, you can use this as your first body paragraph.
I think you can find a second scene that demonstrates what you mean. If you find a second scene, write 4 or 5 sentences about it, and that can be the next body paragraph.
After that, you can go back and write the introduction.
:-) I look forward to seeing it!
