Abstract
EMPHASIS AND FOCUS IN SHAKESPEARE’S PLAY (HAMLET): A SYNTACTICO-STYLISTIC STUDY
Any literary text requires many techniques and/ or tools that are added to the vocabulary used on its pages to facilitate its understanding by readers, highly show the relationship among characters, and clarify the environments related to it. Some of these techniques are focus and emphasis, which are the core of the current study. It is an attempt to shed the light on those above mentioned concepts, their roles, types, and the touch they add to the play under investigation. The challenge is where many tools gather to finally shape the almost final meaning of the play through the chain of vocabs , punctuation marks, and repetition of some. The study is divided into three parts: perspectives, treatment of the concepts, and data analysis.
