Analysis Of Hamlet's Diversity Explained In Hamlet

Hamlet’s Diversity Explained

The unfortunate series of events in Hamlet’s life affected his personality directly. Hamlet has to go through his father’s death, the King at the time (University of Schmoop, 2011). Then, almost a month later, he goes through another traumatic event. Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude, has now begun a relationship planning to marry no other than, Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius (2011). At this point obviously Hamlet is going to begin to question, did his mother have his father killed on purpose? Did Hamlet’s uncle plot the early death of his father? Questions like these would lead just about anyone to a life of misery and doubt. "That it should come to this!" a quote from Hamlet in act one scene two of the play is a tremendous

To make matters worse, Hamlet’s uncle is telling Hamlet to get over the loss of his father, it is not important. What he may not have been aware of is that Hamlet was being visited by his father’s ghost (2011). If his father’s death was not enough, now he has to experience his after-life father. Could any person be normal and calm after being visited by a relative’s ghost? Next Hamlet falls to love just as every male does, as Ophelia steals his heart (University of Shmoop, 2011). Sure, he goes crazy and yells at her a lot, maybe even attacks her. But in a sense it is all out of love. If he was acting normally, not dealing with the loss of his father, and not feeling extreme love towards another he clearly would have been kind and caring to Ophelia on a regular basis. Hamlet seems in the story to never get revenge. When he has the chance to kill his enemies, he backs off (2011). Is he crazy? Some can argue the whole story is just the deception of Hamlet towards other characters and even readers. Shakespeare did not create Hamlet as a character of deception; instead he lived through traumatic events that would alter any normal

Ophelia and Hamlet have an odd relationship of love and hate that leads him to be irrational. Hamlet is seen in the play screaming at Ophelia saying how ungrateful she is and disrespectful in a sense (University of Schmoop, 2011). How crazy is Hamlet about Ophelia? He goes to the extent to express his “love” for her by fighting Laertes, in her own grave (In Hamlet’s Madness Was He Mad, n.d.). Now if fighting in a grave does not show how crazy Hamlet is at this point, I do not know what will. First off, Laertes must be a little odd himself for fighting in the grave too, but that is not the point. Hamlet disrespects Ophelia for fighting in the grave, but more importantly he tells himself that fighting there is showing his love. Crazy. The complete question, can you love and hate someone? No. Instead, Hamlet is a psycho he goes from hating Ophelia to loving her on a regular basis. It is like the Maury show or something. If they are the father they love the woman, if they are not they scream in the woman’s face and scream obscenities saying they were right. Ophelia not enough, let us consider the adorable relationship Hamlet holds with his mom. Obviously, just as any other normal human Hamlet loves his mother. Being the queen she has a lot of responsibility including loving her husband. So this King or Hamlet’s father suddenly dies. Instead of worrying about the death and loss of her “beloved” in such a way that Hamlet did, she takes an
