The performative utterance

-hamlet couldn't make real of the scenarios in his head and of what was going on around him
- utterance means to express
- is troubled with physical not mental aspect of his duty
- like how the author uses cognitive paralysis as if he has no control over what he wants and cannot do
- what does author mean by performative language?( language that speaks for itself or doesn't need action to convey meaning?)
- locutionary force(ability of language to deliver a message), force of mutual intelligibility, illocutionary force(what is done is being said), perlicutionary force(what is achieved by being said) ( consequences of ones utterances)
- like acknowledge then cause and effect?
- self overhearing is key to self
- comes to see that language not only describes but does and this is an agent of chane in the world
- oath demonstrates how the illocutionary influences the perlocutionary 
- haet never stars that he will avenge his after so no connection between illocutionary and perlocutionary forced and thus no obligation
- false performative in hamlet?
- is self loathing the reaction of no action?(illocutionary force is not acting and perlocutionary force is self loathing?)
- what is difference between hamlet and the first player? First player has emotion or no emotion?
- effective acting is act of mimicking 
- to pretend you must not do
- polonuis and hamlet foils?
- shadows of conventional roles but hamlet is many roles and not just one 
- Claudius is man between extreme if polonuis and hamlet
- is guilt selfish?
- hamlet evolves toward faith, closure, and acceptance. Was this due to the fact that hamlet never said he would get revenge and this never connected the perfirmative forces?
- through this journey does hanlet have self realization through self overhearing or looking at others and is powered by them and their wrong doings to finally see that what he is doing is right and wrong?
