William Shakespeares Hamlet Essay -- Tragedy of Hamlet

William Shakespe ars settlement Hamlet is a dissemble written by William Shakespeare in late 15th or early 16th century. The main character Hamlet faces many difficulties, which cause him to doubt life, question death and look at human characters. The main problem, which in turn leads to others along his journey, is when he encounters his dead father in the form of a ghost. He tells Hamlet of his murder by his brother who is now married to his widowed wife, Hamlets Uncle and Mother. Hamlet spends the play trying to avenge his fathers death and it is questionable to whether he does. In this essay I aim to examine Hamlets state of mind and personality within four-spot incidents. From there I will analyse any changes that I believe Hamlet to make and why I think they happen. My four chosen incidents are Hamlets plan for a play (Act two Scene two), Hamlets famous to be or not to be speech and conversation with Ophelia (Act three Scene one), the death of Polonius in Gertrudes closet (Act three Scene four), and finally, when the news of Ophelias death reaches Hamlet and leads into a confrontation with her brother, Laertes (Act five Scene one). To analyse the changes in the character of Hamlet it must(prenominal) first be considered how he deals with the news of his fathers death before further revelations are revealed and then track his thoughts and actions as the play progresses. It must be resolute if there is evidence of Hamlet being suicidal over the death of his father without such events as his antic disposition in the way. We must also decide if Hamlet was insane, before or at any point through the play. Finally, why does Hamlet fe... ... very much alike, both nosey and very wordy. It provides mental experience for Hamlet that he is changing and his childish way, from such scenes as Gertrudes closest, are not needed anymore. It also provides Hamlet with a thirst for blood and shows him what ac tions he is capable of. I believe it to be a second key scene for Hamlet. Finally, I think Hamlet is undeveloped emotionally and finds it very expectant to deal with his fathers death and to hear he was murdered destroys Hamlets life. I feel great empathy with him and understand why he may appear suicidal and upset to some, whereas I do not agree. I think he does remarkably well to deal with the situation and do no think that I could. I dont think he does revenge his fathers murder but does not need to. He is a very interesting character who emerges victorious.
