Thematic Strands

The theme I choose was the theme of water, tears, sea, drink, drunk, drowned, ocean

1. I found the theme of water, or a presence of some sort of water or liquid throughout the play. Many different factors have to do with the themes in this strand. Some examples are the idea of someone drowning, and the tears shed for that person, and the sea, there is also a theme of salt water present, also there are many examples of drunkenness and drinking.

2. The repetition of the theme through the play shows that Shakespeare uses the same ideas to get his point across. He also makes the theme very versatile and uses it to express different ideas through different situations. These themes get out different emotions. The themes also have many different layers of meaning. For example he uses the theme of water at first to mean sadness, and drowning and dying or doing something bad, he then goes on to make it mean a start of something new and making it refreshing.
