  • Death, Decay and Disease in Hamlet

    As aforementioned Hamlets makes a number of references to Denmark. Preceding the death of his father and the marriage of his mother, his mental state begins to fall into demise . Although he appears to not have much courage at first, his focus remains on avenging his father whose murder is described as being "most foul." As noted in one of  Hamlet's first soliloquies, his downward spiral has already began and already he is  contemplating suicide; "O that this too too sullied flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew (I, II, 130)" and "seems to me all the uses of this world... Things rank and gross in nature posses it merely (I, II, 136)." To be degrading to be thinking of imagery including flesh melting shows that Hamlet is not in the state that he ought to be in.  Furthermore Shakespeare encourages us to empathize with these emotions by using such rich descriptions.

  • Destroyed by Sexuality

    990 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hamlet possesses an uncomfortable obsession with his mother’s sexuality. For this reason, Hamlet’s soliloquies provide most of the audience’s information about Gertrude’s sexual activities. In his first soliloquy, Hamlet refers to the relationship between Gertrude and Claudius when he exclaims, “Within a month…She married. O, most wicked speed, to post / With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!” (I, ii, 153-157). In saying this, Hamlet displays how hastily Gertrude has abandoned the late King Hamlet, Hamlet’s father, such that she has already married Claudius, Hamlet’s uncle. In addition, Hamlet acknowledges that Gertrude and Claudius have quickly developed a very sexual relationship. Despite the very recent death of her husband, Gertrude is unable to control her sexual desires, and she remarries less than two months after King Hamlet’s funeral.

  • Was Hamlet Mad Or Did He Really Love Ophelia?

    However, his complicated personality and emotions draw the audience into the play. For example, Hamlet confounds the audience by apparently loving Ophelia but then he says vile things to her and treats her horrendously. At first glance, Hamlet simply seems mad, but a close student of Hamlet will realize that Hamlet is simply taking out his anger towards his mother on women in general. Since Hamlet sees his mother’s quick remarriage after his father’s death as a betrayal, Hamlet holds deep anger towards his mother. Some may even argue that Hamlet is less angry at the murder of his father and more angry at his mother’s quick remarriage. Hamlet’s bitterness towards his mother’s marriage shows as he talks to his friend Horatio: “Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats / Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables” (Shakespeare.) This bitterness shows through as he proclaims that he finds all women weak: “Frailty, thy name is woman!” This is just one example of the complicated emotions that the characters of the play Hamlet feel. By using complex characters. Shakespeare adds a deep level of interest and entertainment to this

  • Hamlet, the Existentialist

    1068 Words  | 3 Pages

    Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a tragic play about murder, betrayal, revenge, madness, and moral corruption. It touches upon philosophical ideas such as existentialism and relativism. Prince Hamlet frequently questions the meaning of life and the degrading of morals as he agonizes over his father’s murder, his mother’s incestuous infidelity, and what he should or shouldn’t do about it. At first, he is just depressed; still mourning the loss of his father as his mother marries his uncle. After he learns about the treachery of his uncle and the adultery of his mother, his already negative countenance declines further. He struggles with the task of killing Claudius, feeling burdened about having been asked to find a solution to a situation that was forced upon him.Death is something he struggles with as an abstract idea and as relative to himself. He is able to reconcile with the idea of death and reality eventually.

  • Indecisiveness In Hamlet

    He is trapped in Elsinore, a town where it seems that people will do almost anything to acquire prestige and power. He believes everything in the world should be good and fair so he does not understand people’s corrupt actions. He finally comes to the realization that “’tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature possess it merely. That it should come to this” (I.2.135-137). The reader also sees a time that Hamlets comes to terms with the world when he tells Rosencrantz that the world has many “confines, wards, and dungeons. Denmark being one o’ th’ worst” (II.2. 132-133). For example, his mother’s marriage to his uncle is something that he does not understand. The reader can tell that the marriage obviously upsets Hamlet when he mutters under his breath, “a little more than kin, and less than kind” (I.2.65). Speaking of his mother, he states that within a month, “ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing of her galled eyes, she married” (II.2.154-156). Hamlet also comes to the conclusion that “to pose with such dexterity to incestuous sheets,” is not good and will have no good result of it (II.2.156-157). The reader is also given insight to Hamlet’s disgust for his mother’s ability to move on so quickly when he calls her weak and states that “a best that wants discourse of reason would have mourned longer” (I.2.150-151). By practically comparing his mother to

    Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears…But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue" Hamlet painfully moans to himself. It is clear at the beginning of the play that Hamlet was suffering—emotionally. It hurt him to see his mother marry so soon after his father’s death and Hamlet felt alone since no one else seemed to feel his pain and be mourning with him. It’s safe to conclude that Hamlet had a commendable and upright relationship with his father whom he admired. Unless one was not as courageous or as confident as Hamlet, we would’ve complained and tried to ruin the marriage.
