#3 setting

Both Hamlet and Pride and Prejudice both share extravagance in the architecture in which the stories take place, but differ in the tone and mood created. Hamlet takes place mostly in a castle and the surrounding city, a dense labyrinth setting a tone and mood for deception. There are always corners to hide around, places to spy on other people, a common theme throughout the plays entirety. The dark castle, a common theme in shakespeare, also reflects hamlets mind, clouded, twisted, and easily lost in. On the other hand, The same extravagance in Pride and Prejudice reflects more on the social status on the individuals. Pemberly's size and amount of rooms highlights the class difference between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. There is also a liveliness in Pemberly that The castle lacks, giving of a happier comedic tone. The setting in both works mean everything, and are significantly utilized to reflect upon the characters ambitions.
