Hamlet
Hamlet is a man of many different qualities and he reveals only certain qualities to certain people. Hamlet draws his audience, the reader, into noticing the different qualities that he has. His qualities are shown through his conversations with other characters as well as through his soliloquies. These words of wisdom and relevance help to distinguish how Hamlet feels about each other character that he encounters. The phrases and speeches that Hamlet addresses are both poetic and piercing. So when Hamlet is speaking, he is constantly revealing his qualities which range from love, to respect, to hate. Hamlet's most powerful qualities seem to be revealed through his conversation with the people that he cares about, namely his family and friends. The queen, Gertrude, is hamlet's mother and she is probably the living being that he cares about the most. Unfortunately, one of Hamlet's qualities, which is revealed in conversation with his mother, is a negative one and that is anger. His quality is displayed through Hamlet's soliloquy in Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 131-161.

Love, which occurs throughout Act 1, Sc 5, is simply the willingness of Hamlet to listen to what his father's ghost has to say. Rather than letting the words that the ghost of his father spoke, go in one ear and out the other, Hamlet listened carefully and will do anything for him, such as the revenge Hamlet seeked throughout the play. This shows love towards his father because he'll do anything to honor his father. Hamlet reveals probably the best quality of the whole play as for which is loyalty. This loyalty is towards, of course, his deceased father, and it occurs in the vow to seek revenge on his uncle, the murderer of his beloved father (Act 1, Sc 5, L32-34& 113-115). Hamlet's father wants revenge on his brother and since he cannot do it himself he has asked his son, Hamlet, to do it for him. Hamlet agreed to this request and in doing so, he has showed his loyalty to his hero, his father. Hamlet's qualities of love and loyalty have shown that the barriers between the living and the dead and indeed be broken with a little spiritual help. It is said that a
