Hamlet Dynamic

William Shakespeare’s play “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” was a work of art that has devolved several interpretations about the main character Hamlet over time. Throughout the play Hamlet is seen as the protagonist and the antagonist because he as seen as a person who gets justice for a crime committed, but also as a person who commits a crime. Also, Hamlet is a round and dynamic character because he is hard to figure out, so he is interpreted in many different ways, and is dynamic because over time he changes because of the events that take place.

When his anger took over he began to plot and plan how he would extract revenge on his uncle, now step father king Claudius. So when he sees the king praying he thought what a perfect opportunity but later changed his mind because he thought that since he was praying that when he died he would go up to heaven but Hamlet wanted him to suffer just like his father did.

He led the people to believe he was mad just so he would not be disturbed in planning his revenge on the king. Since Hamlet didn’t have the time to properly grieve all of his feelings were channeled into hatred,
