Hamlet misc6
Hamlet was a man that will be studied for the rest of time. The complication of the story is enough to raise argument let alone Hamlet the man. Was Hamlet crazy? Nobody knows and will ever know. The entire play there are signs of his insanity but there are also signs that he was putting a big joke on to the people around him that he so hated and distrusted. His true character is never revealed throughout the entire play. The identities and changes he goes through prove that. Many things happened around him and he was in the heart of them. His attitudes throughout the play reflect his turmoil inside of him. Every new thing that came his way he had a different way of looking at or dealing with. He was never completely honest with himself let alone anyone around him, even his closest peers. The killing of a harmless man showed how much pain he was in. He may have become crazy over it. Putting trust into a ghostlike figure that could led to his downfall in the end. All these are factors that played a role in his insanity.The attitude as well as the identity of Hamlet was never the same throughout the play. In the opening he seemed confused and almost apathetic. It seemed he had given up on life to a point. Everythi
In closing, many questions still arise around the story and the well being of Hamlet in the story. What if Hamlet had acted earlier on revenge of his uncle? Would the sweet Ophelia have died suicide or accident? Would Polonius have been innocently slain? Would Laertes have been killed at the end? And one question that the answer is clearly known is the question of weather or not Queen Gertrude would be alive. Yes, her innocence and passiveness towards everyone in the play would not have gotten her killed. She was caught up in the middle of something that was out her foresight and her control. Hamlet went crazy. The death of his father and remarrying of his mother clearly tore him. When he found out all of the information, it pushed him over the edge and brought out his insanity. His insanity is what got six people killed in the play including his own tragic downfall. There is no doubt that Hamlet was crazy, not after reading that. He knew full well it was the not the king. It was a cry for help or for attention. He wanted his mother to finally open her eyes and see what was going on. It took the action of killing an innocent man for Hamlet to get across his message to his mother and the rest of the Kingdom that he was hurting. It was almost like he was crying to tell everyone about what the ghost had told him and what not just so everybody knew. One of Hamlet's major downfalls is that he kept to himself the entire play. It made situations grow worse and more complicated. In the end, the lives of six people in the play could have been saved if Hamlet would have done things differently including his own life. The point is that Hamlet knew it was not the king hiding behind the curtain in the room of his mother. Nobody can prove that he knew it was Polonius but the pressure was building up too fast for just one man to handle. It was a huge cry for help that his own mother never got the message of. ng in his life was not worth caring about. His father had died before the play had opened which was a life crusher to Hamlet. Hamlet senior was someone that Hamlet loved and respected with all his heart. What made the s
