PERFORMATIVE UTTERANCE + HAMLET---ESSAY (AP ENGLISH)
Throughout the play, Hamlet gives a few soliloquies that allow the reader know what Hamlet thinks and feels. Throughout the play, the impact of performative utterance on Hamlet and his sense of self was seen by his actions and the way he spoke to other characters. By using locutionary force, illocutionary force, and perlocutionary force through out the play, Shakespear shows how when Hamlet speaks, his words constitute actions in their self.
The importance of performative utterance on Hamlet is shown when he says his soliloquies. For example, when Hamlet gives his first soliloquy during act 1 scene 2, the audience knows how he feels about his mother marring his uncle. In act 1 scene 5, Hamlet learns that his father was poisoned and he uses illocutionary force to order himself to kill hi uncle to avenge his father's death. By Hamlet commanding himself to "remember and obey" his father's ghost, he is condemning his uncle to his death. When Hamlet says that he will remember his father, his speech constitutes actions because that means that he will kill Claudius.
Austin's idea is that languae describes and does. This idea can be backed up by Hamlet's actions. For example, when Hamlet gives his soliloquies, he is describing the way he feels and he is also describing how he is going to avenge his father's death. In other words, Hamlet uses his soliloquies to give himself a push in killing Claudious. By Hamlet "motivating" himself to kill his uncle, he shows that even though he doesn't know how to kill his uncle, he is sure that he needs to kill his uncle.
In my opinion, "self overhearing" means that someone says their feelings, what and how they feel out loud in order to help them self make decisions or to clarify their ideas and feelings. Another use of self overhearing is that it helps to memorize. When I was memorizing To Be Or Not To Be, I read the lines out loud and after a few repetitions, I had memorized that line.
In conclusion, Austin's idea of language can be seen through out the play by Hamlet's actions. In the play, self-overhearing has a big impact on the plot and the characters because by over hearing himself, Hamlet was able to decide what to do in order to take revenge against his uncle.
