Topic > Hamlet - 981

Hamlet is one of the main characters in Hamlet. He has the utmost quest for revenge with his uncle, Claudius, who is the new king of Denmark. Claudius dishonored Hamlet's mother by marrying her and killed her husband. It all began when one night the ghost of Hamlet's father appeared to him and revealed the truth about his death. The quote spoken by the Ghost: "So was I, sleeping, at the hands of a brother/Of life, of the crown, of the queen quickly sent away" (1. V. 80) says that the Ghost's brother took everything away at once and for this reason his soul wanders in purgatory. To make matters worse, his mother, who was the wife of the deceased king, recently got married to his brother-in-law. The quote stated by Hamlet: “Fragility, thy name is woman!” (I. II.46) gives a clear indication of his astonishment at the changing feelings of his mother who instead of mourning the death of her husband, celebrates the new love of her life. In contrast, Hamlet's world is turned upside down because of all this chaos happening in his life all at once. After the Ghost leaves, Hamlet appears to be moody. So far, he's not entirely sure whether he believes the Phantom's side of the story and whether or not to take revenge. It was only one day that the traveling actors arrived at his palace, so he used this opportunity and asked them to perform in a play called "The Assassination of Gonzago". the King's conscience” (11.11.152) are some lines of Hamlet's soliloquy that give a clear idea of ​​his plan. He uses the work essentially to see Claudio's reactions to be certain of his guilt. “O miserable state! O breast black as death!/ O calcined soul, struggling to free itself” (111.111.216) illustrated by Claudius praying in private shows that he finally expresses remorse for his evil deeds. At first Hamlet thought he should draw his sword and suffer his punishment. However, he then stopped to think about it and delayed his revenge because he wants Claudius to suffer for his sins and go to hell. However, at the end of the play he kills Claudius and dies himself during the fencing match against Hamlet..
