But then he kills the wrong person, he accidentally murders his on-again/ off-again girlfriend’s father. In fact, it is not until the end of the third act that Hamlet gets up the nerve to kill his uncle. But then he does nothing, he puts off his act of vengeance for longer and longer.
When the ghost of Hamlet’s father, the former king, approaches him and tells him that his Uncle Claudius, the new king, was his father’s murderer, Hamlet instantly pledges revenge. Prince Hamlet is a better procrastinator than most High School students. But it is not just the depiction of human experience and universal themes we’re concerned with. Hamlet shares many of humanities hopes and fears. Prince Hamlet, the protagonist of the text, has long been presented as the archetype of Renaissance humanism, but also of the human condition (that is, what it means to be human). Critics argue that it has an excellent depiction of universal themes. Hamlet is considered to be one of the masterpieces of Western literature. Let’s consider a classic text, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (1601) by William Shakespeare. To help you get your head around this concept, let’s have a look at an example. While these things sometimes appear in texts, it is rare to have a lot, or even all, of these in a text. When a composer combines many or all of these together in a text to develop meaning, you can argue that the text has organic unity. The form of the text (for example, fragmented texts, dialogic texts, mixed media texts).The perspective of the text (for example, unreliable narration).The structure of the text (for example, the order it present events).Use of high order techniques like irony.Let’s look at some of common the things that can contribute to the meaning in a text: Organic unity refers to the idea that texts can convey their meaning in more ways than just the literal message. Of course, a text you’re set for study is a whole and complete thing. Organic unity is the literal definition of textual integrity. Instead, it is vague enough that it often leaves students feeling more confused than not having a definition to work from.įortunately for you, we’re going to untangle this for you once and for all.
It’s great that NESA gives this definition, but, unfortunately, this isn’t a particularly detailed or clear definition. The unity of a text its coherent use of form and language to produce an integrated whole in terms of meaning and value. So, integrity must mean “whole and undivided.” But what does it mean to say that a book is “whole and undivided”? That nobody has cut it up? Obviously, there’s more to it than that.
Making matters worse, if you Google it or interrogate a variety of English teachers you’ll get a variety of explanations about what it is. Unfortunately, textual integrity can seem like a vague concept at the best of times. “Textual Integrity” is a key term and concept for Module B in both Years 11 and 12.
