The Corruption Of Hamlet In William Shakespeare's Hamlet

Shakespeare's brilliant play is still forming the thoughts of people today. The theme of Hamlet has been debated throughout all of literary and Shakespeare's history, and is likely the most tragic play of Shakespeare's tragedies. It is a worrisome twist of passion and tragedies, that will feel like it never ends, until it does. Hamlet will do anything to avenge his father’s murder, even if it means damaging himself and all the people around him, while disobeying his own morals; Hamlet believes that murdering Claudius is moral, because Claudius killed his own father, and he is just mimicking his sin. Hamlet swore he would get revenge for his father, this caused a downfall of ruination. The Ghost speaks to Hamlet demanding revenge and says “Thus

Ophelia respects her father’s wishes and returns the letters from Hamlet, while Hamlet reacts, “Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me" (3.1.131-134). Once Ophelia returns the letters at her father’s request, exasperation fills Hamlet, even though he may not love Ophelia, he does not like being taken advantage of. He is a very self-centered person and he hides the idea by calling himself the hero of the dilemma, even though he is actually breaking the biggest morality of his own just from the idea of ‘revenge’. Hamlet overtly expressed emotion in the play to Ophelia, and they say “HAMLET Is this a prologue or the posy of a ring? OPHELIA ’Tis brief, my lord. HAMLET As woman’s love" (3.2.173-175). In his absurdity, Hamlet is trying to make his insnaity believable, although there is not much more to believe, as he has convinced them enough. His lunacy starts far before the play, maybe once his father dies, or maybe even sooner. Hamlet expresses his love for Ophelia after her death and exclaims, “I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers Could not with all their quantity of love Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her?" (5.1.173-175). With immense emotion in Hamlet’s last expression toward Ophelia is what contemplates if he truly loved

After Hamlet killed Polonius, he explains “A bloody deed—almost as bad, good mother, As kill a king and marry with his brother” (3.4.34-35). Hamlet has gone unhinged, there is surely no act after he killed Polonius without the knowledge of who it was, but yet he still acts although he is noble. His mother, however never shows true human like feelings, and she simply is aghast by the dead man, as if she saw a spider scurry up her wall. Laertes exclaimed one last time with his sister, “Fall ten times treble on that cursèd head Whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense Deprived thee of!—Hold off the earth awhile, till I have caught her once more in mine arms” (5.1.259-262). Sorrow can be felt for Laertes, he has not done much wrong except to conspire. Laertes is the only one throughout the play that has felt raw human emotions, even though they may have awkward reasoning. The queen tells Laertes his sister drowned and says “One woe doth tread upon another’s heel, So fast they follow. Your sister’s drowned, Laertes” (4.7.187-188). Once Ophelia died it was an eye opening scene, it was a realization that no character, but Laertes, has had true feelings, until Hamlet's reaction in the funeral scene. As the queen reveals Ophelia's death, it is imagined monotone, with no expression, but a pity look of grief. The moralities and despair shown in this Shakespearean play is only but little, although the whole
