The Performative Utterance in Hamlet

-Hamlet had a hard time figuring out what was real and what wasn't.
-There are three forces of performative ability of language
1.)the locutionary force- the ability of language to deliver a message, the force of mutual intelligibility
2.)the illocutionary force-what is done in being said, such as denying a request
3.)the perlocutionary force- what is achieved by being said
-Characters in Shakespeare reveal their true selves through soliloquies and speeches.
- "The central problem of the play is that people represent their feelings and thier intentions in ways that are contrary to reality."
-The actions or cues the actors make during their lines reflect their feelings, like exaggerated hand movements represent madness.
- Rules to comply with for utterance of being happy
1.)There must be an agreement that will be effective
2.)The circumstances must be appropriate for the agreement
3.)The agreement must involve all participants to render active
4.)Agreement is designed to cover all aspects of conflict
5.)The participants must complete the agreement
-"Self-acualization and performance and agency become all one"
