The performative utterance in hamlet

• hamlet is unwavering in his duty
• trapped in a cognitive paralysis where he cannot make rel whats in his mind
• performative utterances influence reality instead of merely describing resality.
• this is seen in the language of Shakespeare
• characters overhear themselves so they realize their actions which causes them to change or individualize
• the oath between the boys when hamlet meets his father is an utterance
• hamlet's evolution is a result of faith, closure and acceptance
