So this week I decided to explore Shakespeare's writing style in Hamlet. While doing some research I found an article about the different periods of Shakespeare's plays. The article talks about the four periods in which his plays are classified. They are: the early period, the balanced period, the overflowing period, and the final period. They are classified based on clarity and maturity of the writing as well as characterization. However, this is not without some debate. There are some plays which scholars do not believe belong in a particular period. Two of these plays are Hamlet and The Merchant Of Venice. This article no only lists the plays in each period, but also the style in general, characterization, and dialogue with examples. I think that this may be helpful in our text research!
