Hamletââ¬â¢s Revenge Essay -- Shakespeare, denmark
William Shakespeares masterpiece, crossroads, is the story about the Prince of Denmarks struggle for revenge against his bloody uncle, who is now the new King of Denmark. Hamlet is stricken blind with revenge and has even been considered mad. Hamlets fall into insanity is a result of many an(prenominal) different, tragic reasons. Throughout the entire play, Hamlet seems to be a loner, with a lack of true companionship. Most everyone seems to be against him without the play. They mis self-assurance Hamlet, as he does them. He does not fully trust anyone, which will ultimately lead to his downfall. Hamlet does in fact induct a tragic flaw that may lead him to disaster. Hamlet has a tendency to over think every thing he does. With every thought and process he goes through he mustiness have a reason of doing it the way he does, and if they are not done how he likes, he will not attempt the task. Hamlet is portrayed as intelligent. This is shown through Hamlets use of his obviously superior mind and knowledge to deceive most everyone in the kingdom. He is clearly more intelligent than any other character in the play, and to us, the most human. His intelligence does get him into a great deal of trouble though. He must always prove for himself every thing that he is told. He cannot take anyones word for granted. Hamlet is meant to seem more psychotic and delusional the farther into the play the reader gets. Shakespeare meant for this. Without seeming crazy, Hamlet would not have the opportunity of revenging his fathers death. Hamlets pseudo madness is the very subject matter for his revenge.Hamlet seems to be a loner throughout the play. The first time that this is seen is through Hamlets mistrust and even disgust of his uncle and mothers wedding... ...mon theme in the play, and it plays a major role throughout Hamlet. It seems that no body really trusts each other. Hamlet has little trust in anyone, which could make it easier to follow through with his revenge. He doesnt really trust anyone, and no one really trusts him, so there is nothing to lose. This is seen in life with friends. If you know or trust someone, you try harder not to hurt their feelings. If you dont know them then hurting their feelings is not quite as important since you do not have a strong bond with that person. Hamlet uses these advantages he has to create a mad persona of himself, which is believable, to gain his revenge.Works Cited Shakespeare, William.
