Throughout the play the death of a character becomes a frequent event. Although most people lose their lives because of their own self centered wrong doing, there are a few whose death is caused by manipulation and deceit. In this case it is the Family of Polonius. Contrary to popular belief, the tragedy of Hamlet is not about him nor of his family. It is however the tragic fate of Polonius' family Because their deaths were not the consequences of their own sinful actions rather by the innocent involvement in the schemes of Claudius and Hamlet. Although some may say that polonius deserved his death because of his surreptitious style. Even though all he was really doing was following the king's inclinations. Polonius was slained by Hamlet after having been mistaken for the King. The next to die is Ophelia, she, is

There is also a bit of foreshadowing found in Hamlet all the way in the beginning. Hamlet drawing on biblical allusions, Hamlet redefines the position of man as simply that which came from dust and eventually will return. It is possible that Shakespeare was trying to indirectly warn us of Hamlets fate or of the Fate of Polonius or Claudius.

Leartes is also similar to Hamlet in the way that he associates with his family. Laertes and Hamlet hold a high admiration for their fathers immediately seeking revenge on the assassin. They both exhibit domineering attitudes toward females. Leartes able to control Ophelia's opinion of Hamlet and his general attitude towards women. In the same way Hamlet can easily persuade Gertrude of his sanity and Manipulate into Making Claudius seem like a foe.

Despite for his bad qualities he does have several good ones he is very daring and brave. Story holds several examples of his fearless attitude. There are two major examples, first is when he follows the ghost. Hamlet not knowing whether this is a real ghost or a deception, perhaps the devil himself. Despite this he still followed this transparent apparition. The second major act of bravery is when, he is sent to England to his inevitable death. His cognitive dissonance saves his skin. Hamlet suffers moral destruction throughout the play. In Hamlet's cosmic view on the planet, he finds the world to be empty and lifeless, dirty and diseased and his particular place in it, to be desolate and lonely, he feels so isolated and entrapped in his native land. The world is his prison Denmark being the worst. "A goodly one, in which there are many confines,wards, and dungeons, Denmark being one o' th' worst."

The character of Hamlet is very believable in fact I think that Hamlet identifies better with an adolescent of the 1990's more than he does with the youth of his time. Hamlet is immature, sarcastic and takes action in the heat of passion witch is very much like the radical behavior of today's youth. Hamlets' maturity level for his time was low specially him having such a high position. He is extremely offensive to people, such as the king the queen. An immature, mouth
