Hamlet16

A detailed Summary of Hamlet16

Hamlet is a tragic hero through abandonment. His father's death makes his mood very melancholy. He feels that his father left him and he mourns over his death. His father dies two months ago and he feels that isn't enough time to mourn. To point this out, " But two months dread, nay, not so much, not two;" (I,ii,138) The more Hamlet grieves about his father, the more he dislikes Claudius. To verify this, "She married; O most wicked speed, to past." (I,ii,156)

Hamlet's mother gets remarried, and thus Hamlet feels she has betrayed his father by marrying Claudius. In this quotation Hamlet's anger is shown towards his mother getting remarried, " You are the queen, your husband's brother's wife,/ And -would it were not so! - you are my mother!" (III,iv,15-16) Hamlet loves his mother very much and wants the best for her, but he cannot bear her remarriage.

Finally, Hamlet feels abandonment by Ophelia's death. She drowns, but Hamlet is unaware of this. He really loves Ophelia, even though she was not loyal to him. When he finds out that Ophelia has died, he cries out, " I lov'd Ophelia: forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum."(V,i,270-272)
