Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 2,3, University of Münster (Englisches Seminar), course: Shakespeare and Tragedy, language: English, abstract: Without any doubt, Shakespeare can be called one of the greatest observers of all§times. In his plays, the reader is confronted with characters from all sorts of social,§cultural and religious backgrounds. Among the most well-known characters, we find§kings, (their) queens and princes (like Hamlet), Jews (in "The Merchant of Venice"),§black people (Othello), and Roman soldiers, not to mention all those who did not§give a play its title. Looking at professions, Shakespeare employs characters from all§social levels - be they grave-diggers, jesters, killers or noblemen.§Within the plays, those characters seldom stand alone. They appear in groups, in the§context of their friends and families. A character is thus provided with a wife or§husband, a mother and father, maybe a step-parent, grand-parents, sisters, brothers,§girl- or boyfriends and mates. As a family does not consist of only one age group,§Shakespeare has to focus on several generations of characters, waving a complex net§of relations and interactions.§In this paper, I would like to look at the representation of young people in two of§Shakespeare s tragedies, "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet". The term young will be§reflected upon in my second chapter, as will be upon the term tragedy . As a future§teacher, the presentation of youth is an interesting topic for me, and looking at young§people interact (and interact with older characters) in Shakespeare will be something§worth doing: in focussing on youth, the cliché of tragedy often dealing with old §people will be broken. This paper is meant to show that Shakespeare did not write in§a single-dimensional way, but his plays offer a broad observation of any age group.§After giving a short synopsis of the two tragedies in chapter three, I will, in chapter§four, present the tragedies characters in their respective context and in relation to§each other and comment on their behaviour and attitudes.§In my conclusion, I will concentrate on the characters in their relation to the genre of§tragedy - reflecting on life, love, destiny, youth, and death.
