Examples Of Emotional Rollercoaster In Hamlet

An Emotional Rollercoaster

In every english class I've ever had, every teacher has brought up a reference to or an quote from Hamlet. And every time they have I've always dreaded the day I would have to read this play. First reason, the old english language is nothing to our modern english so it was hard understanding the text. Second this play is ancient, and any other old book I've read have been tedious,so I knew I would hate this book. But I'm glad I gave it a chance, because it turned out to be one of the best plays I've read and watched thus far. Hamlet has had an enduring impact on today's society due to the different connections everyone has had with the story. Whether it's death, revenge, relationships, etc. as teenagers

When Hamlet learns the truth upon his father's death his emotions escalate from zero to one hundred real quick. “ A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak, Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause and can say nothing; no not for a king” (2.2.18-21). In this soliloquy Hamlet is expressing his emotions after holding them in for so long. He shows cowardness when he doesn't believe in himself.

While watching the play Hamlet perceived himself to be crazy to others, but was only putting on a act for them. In high school i've met some people who perceive themselves as “nice” but once you really get to know them they are not. We also hide what we really are from people because we are scared of what they might think, it's not always someone who is mean. This is something that happens a lot, and I could connect with Hamlet. The next level of ange is to take action and rebel! Hamlet was that typical “teenage boy” who was all talk till he actually killed polonius and took action. Although it was a tragic accident, this was a step that started it all in the plan to kill. All teenagers have a phase when they rebel, from their normal lives and do things they shouldn't be doing. We hang out with bad kids and go to parties with alcohol, and drugs. We step out our comfort zones and so did Hamlet. Hamlet hates his stepfather with a burning passion, my friends also hate their step parents too and it's hard to make a connection with an parent that's not biologically connected to you. I’m guilty of it too. At first hated my stepfather for the longest time but we set aside our differences and get along well now. We all struggle
