John Featley was an English clergyman and author who is known for his religious writings, including works on theology and sermons. He was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the 17th century. Some of his notable works include "The Romish Fisher Caught and Held in His Own Net" and "Clavis Mystica, a Key Opening Diverse Difficult and Mysterious Texts of Holy Scripture."

He uses commas to show Hamlet's sudden bursts of anger and confusion. He also uses it to lay emphasis on a relatively heavy topic. Shakespear uses the semi colons for a short break between two sentences with the similar theme or meaning

Although it is popular for academics and even directors to focus on punctuation as having a lot of meaning in interpreting Shakespeare, the reality is that the punctuation was, like the spelling, put in by the typesetters, not Shakespeare. It varies considerably between Quarto and Folio and even between different copies of the Folio. Editors play with it all the time. It is therefore unsafe to rely on punctuation to draw any conclusions about what is going on.

e.g. From Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 2 (Quarto 2, 1604)

O that this too too sallied flesh would melt,

Thaw and resolve itself into a dewe,

Or that the euerlasting had not fixt

His cannon gainst seale slaughter,o God, God

How wary, stale, flat and vnprofitable

Seeme to me all the vses of this world?

Fie on't, ah fie, 'tis and vnweeded garden

That growes to seed, things rancke and grose in nature

Possess it merely that it should come thus

But two months dead, nay not so much, not two

So excellent a King, that was to this

Hiperion to a satire, so louing to my mother

That he might not beteeme the winds of heauen

Visite her face too roughly, heauen and earth

Must I remember, why she should hang on him

As if increase of appetite had growne

By what it fed on, and yet within a month,

Let me not thinke on't; frailty thy name is woman

A little month or ere those shooes were old

With which she followed my poore fathers bodie

Like Niobe all teares why she

O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason

Would have mourn'd longer, married with mine Vncle

Did you notice the absence of full stops? Eighteen commas, a question mark and a semicolon are all that appear. Here's the same from the First Folio (1623)

O that this too too solid flesh, would melt,

Thaw and resolue it self into a Dewe:

Or that the Euerlasting had not fixt

His Cannon 'gainst Selfe-slaughter. O God, O God!

How weary, stale, flat and vnprofitable

Seemes to me all the vses of this world?

Fie on't? Oh fie, fie, 'tis and vnweeded Garden

That growes to Seed: Things rank and grosse in Nature

Possess it meerely. That it should come to this:

But two months dead: Nay not so much; not two,

So excellent a King, that was to this

Hiperion to a Satyre: so louing to my Mother

That he might not beteene the windes of heauen

Visit her face too roughly. Heauen and Earth

Must I remember: why she should hang on him,

As if encrease of Appetite had growne

By what it fed on; and yet within a month?

Let me not thinke on't: Frailty, thy name is woman.

A little Month, or ere those shooes were old,

With which she followed my poore fathers body

Like Niobe, all teares. Why she, euen she,

(O Heauen! A beast that wants discourse of reason

Would haue mourn'd longer) married with mine Vnkle,

Twelve commas, six colons, two exclamation points, three question marks, three full stops and a pair of parentheses.

Good luck figuring out which the "specific punctuation" in this example Shakespeare used, never mind guessing what he intended it to say about Hamlet. Remember that Shakespeare did not intend that his plays should be published, and that any actor who was curious about Hamlet's state of mind just had to ask Shakespeare (we assume he acted as director of his own plays). He probably couldn't care less about punctuation.
