Analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet

Analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet The entire world, be it in the past, present or future, is entirely

made up of a series of events inspired by a series of actions. The

character Hamlet is a very careful man in determining how his actions

will follow out throughout the course of the future. He is a very

intelligent man, continuously calculating each of his moves to

eventually gain the throne of Denmark that is rightfully his. In Act V

scene I of the play, Hamlet abandons this cool, disciplined composer

so that he may rely totally on his emotions to guide himself to a

deserving glory.

Throughout the story, all other characters because of his superior and

effective use of language respect Hamlet. However, in Act V scene I,

Hamlet is outperformed in the act of speech by the gravedigger (Clown

One). This lingual defeat inspires Hamlet to charter a new, more

effective method of behavior-actions patterns. Throughout the previous

course of the play, Hamlet had continuously carefully contemplated

every one of his actions; constantly analyzing each of them and

determining their eventual consequences. After his conversation with

the gravedigger, Hamlet concludes from his intellectual defeat that he

must change to be more physically decisive. Acting on mere emotion had

appeared to be quite successful in Fortinbras’ life. Hamlet thusly

chose to emulate this strong passion of acting on what he believed to

be honourable.

truth of his father’s out for the entire world to see. In addition to

this, the evil King Claudius and Laertes are killed by their own

treachery. Peace is restored throughout the land and the truth shall

be prevailed through Horatio.

It is truly the blend of Hamlet’s cool, logical side merging with his

deepest passions and acting with both in a controlled fashion that he

truly achieves his main goal of restoring order throughout the

kingdom. Acting only with his cautious logical side alone obviously

did not perform adequately to attain this goal. In a similar manner,

acting solely on a whim of emotion did not prove effective for

Laertes. In using the two in a manageable way, Hamlet was truly a

great character and was rewarded with honour before his noble death.
