Theme Of Love In Hamlet

The play “Hamlet” written by Shakespeare, is full of drama that is presented in many different way. Young Hamlet has been through so much that he has gone crazy. Hamlet has been through a lot from his mother marrying his dad’s brother to talking to a ghost. Everything important in Hamlet’s life is suddenly all confusing at once. Throughout the play “Hamlet”, Gertrude (Hamlet’s mother) and Hamlet have a distance, love, and hate relationship between each other. Distance is presented throughout the entire play of “Hamlet”. Most of these examples of distance are between young Hamlet and his mother Gertrude. The Shakespeare writes, “ I’ll go see my mother soon. (to himself) They’re trying as hard as they can to mess with me.—I will go soon” (3.2.345).

Hate can be see through the entire play. Every character in the play has some type of hate towards another person. Although there is a lot of hate throughout the play, the best examples can be found through young Hamlet and his mother Gertrude. One great example of hate is when the author writes, “It’s like a garden that no one’s taking care of, and that’s growing wild. Only nasty weeds grow in it now” (Shakespeare 1.2.132-134). In this example, Hamlet is currently talking to himself after a conversation with his mother and the current king, . Hamlet is presenting that his family has now gone wild, and that no one is capable of taking care of all the bad that is happening. Hamlet puts the blame on Gertrude because Hamlet knows that his mother started this nonsense and now there is no help to the situation. Another example of hate is when Shakespeare writes, “Yet even so, within a month of my father’s death… crying like crazy—even an animal would have mourned its mate longer than she did!—there she was marrying my uncle, my father’s brother”( Shakespeare 1.2. 144-151). Hamlet anger towards is mother has now grown the the max. Hamlets hates the fact that Gertrude husband's (Hamlet’s father) recently died and she is already moving on. He even more upset by the fact that his mom was crying over the death of his father and now she moved on so quick. Hamlet is so torn by how his mother is so does not have the same love toward his father death like he
