Hamlet

Hamlet Hamlet William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, has interested audiences for centuries. Shakespeare’s character, Hamlet, is a very mysterious person. There is more to him than meets the eye. Hamlet is not only the prince of Denmark, he is also the mourning son of a murdered father who is secretly trying to avenge his death through theatre with the help of his dead father’s ghost. Hamlet’s encounter’s with his mother, Gertrude, and his uncle, Claudius, are not handled in a rational way. His experience with Laertes is not an improvement either. These are three events that set in motion a series of tragic events that should have been avoided. Hamlet is angry with Gertrude because of her love for Claudius. Hamlet believes that this affair is incest and his anger is further fueled by the knowledge of Claudius being his father’s murderer. Hamlet scolds his mother, “nay but to live in the rank sweat of an enseamed bed, stewed in corruption, honeying and making love over the nasty sty.” Hamlet is blinded by anger and allows his emotions to control his actions.
