The Misanthrope: Social Behavior

... people today try to avoid conflict by changing the subject or wording of the answer to make the other person feel better.

Hamlet: Method In The Madness

... sane alibi to Hamlet. If Hamlet speaks to the ghost alone isn't as credible, but all the men are witness to the ghost demanding that they speak alone.
