Hamlet's Madness And Revenge Actions Are Justified

I believed that Hamlet’s madness and revenge actions are justified because he was facing several very difficult situations, in a brief time. I think the best way to understand Hamlet’s actions is imagining being in his shoes.

When Claudius is praying, Hamlet is considering killing him, but decides not to because he wants to kill him in sin so that he does not get a chance at last confession. They also all end up dying later in the story due to a sword fight and poison.

In conclusion, I think that Hamlet 's actions were justified because if you put yourself in his place, the possibility of murdering your father 's murderer would undoubtedly be an option that would be in anyone 's head. Especially after what they did to you and your family. Besides all that, he took your father 's throne, which should have been yours. As if tragedies were not enough, one last calamity adds to so much suffering, the lady of your life, Ophelia, committed suicide because she lost her father and you murdered
