17:13 Looks it not like the King?’ Who, the audience wonders, does ‘the’ refer to? | |
This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect. At the start of Hamlet, a guard’s utterance of ‘Long live the King’ is soon followed by the apparition of the ghost: ‘Looks it not like the King?’ Who, the audience wonders, does ‘the’ refer to? The living King or a dead King? This kind of ambiguity is the kind of ‘hook’ that writers use to make us quizzical, a bit uneasy even. “‘The’ is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen. sourse of information: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20200109-is-this-the-most-powerful-word-in-the-english-language | |
