Summary "Time in the Play of Hamlet" by Edward Payson Vining is a scholarly analysis written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the intricacies of time as portrayed in Shakespeare’s tragedy "Hamlet," exploring the differing interpretations of how much time the events of the play encompass. The book aims to clarify the timeline of the actions within the play, challenging various critical opinions regarding the duration and implications of these actions. In this analytical piece, Vining meticulously examines the timeline of events in "Hamlet," asserting that the play's action unfolds over a defined period rather than the broad spans suggested by some critics. He breaks down the play act by act, noting specific scenes that indicate time lapses, from the initial midnight setting of the first act to a series of intervals and the final scenes. Vining argues against the notion of Shakespeare employing confusing temporal manipulations, positing instead that there is a coherent structure to the narrative that allows the audience to understand the timeline clearly. The analysis highlights key moments, such as Hamlet’s feigned madness, Polonius's death, and the political machinations at court, all of which contribute to a very specific chronology underpinning the tragedy's unfolding events.
