Theme
When describing the soldier, Shakespeare describes reputation as a “bubble.” What’s his message to the reader here?
By using the word “bubble,” Shakespeare implies that our reputations are thin, delicate, and really nothing but air. We care so much about our reputations (or, making a name for ourselves in the world), yet Shakespeare tries to warn the reader that this is a foolish priority. Reputations are as insubstantial as bubbles, quickly popping and disappearing. He implies that soldiers in search of glory on the battlefield die for foolish reasons.
the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a person's thoughts, or an exhibition; a topic.
