Paper Summary:

This paper compares the literary devices used by William Shakespeare in developing the character of Hamlet with those used by Walter Mosley in developing the character of Easy Rawlins.

From the Paper:

"The protagonist in Walter Mosley's Devil in a Blue Dress, Easy Rawlins, is a good man; however; he is motivated by his desires for money and sex. Shakespeare wrote Hamlet as a parody of the classical drama, heightening, and thereby questioning, the code of honor. Mosley was parodying the detective genre to encompass the Black viewpoint. Easy stumbles through the world of the detective, falling for the wrong women, backing down from confrontations and, generally, allowing the circumstance to define his movements."
