Caleb Johnson Ms. Tobias ENGL 1205 28 March 2024 Acting To Reality Lots of people believe that Hamlet is mad, and I agree with them. But I think there is more to it. Hamlet is a very wise person and is very well-spoken. I believe that Hamlet first started acting mad, but throughout the play, and after each event and everything that happened to him, I believe he did turn mad. By the end of the play when he is fighting with Laretes, I think that he has gone fully mad.

Intro: A famous quote from Ghandi says, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” This is a quote that applies to the characters in Hamlet who are driven by revenge. To put in simple terms, an eye for an eye means whatever you do someone will be done to you. The characters acted through their anger and emotions, rather than with thorough thought, because they were insistent on getting revenge on those who did them wrong.
Hamlet Essay William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is viewed by many as a story of revenge. In Act 4, scene 7 Claudius attempts to convince Laertes that taking revenge on Hamlet for killing his father is the right thing to do. Claudius tries to connect with Laertes by playing on his emotions. Specifically, he targets his grief and love for his father and his new-found hatred for Hamlet. Claudius’ speech in Act 4, Scene 7 effectively targets Laertes through an emotional appeal.
Hamlet, a play written by William Shakespeare is a tragic story of a fallen and struggling hero. Shakespeare’s main character Hamlet, before the story even began, lost his father because of loathsome greed and jealousy of his uncle, Claudius. Claudius made matters worse by marrying Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. It was unknown that Claudius was the cause of King Hamlet’s death, until his ghost speaks to Hamlet about what happened and to ask Hamlet to avenge his death.

Disney’s The Lion King is a 1994 kid friendly, along with an adult friendly, movie. Like most movies, it is very entertaining, yet very meaningful.

The stories are the same, both about two young princes whose fathers are killed by their uncles, and they return to avenge the deaths of their fathers and take back the throne that rightfully belongs to them.
I do think the Ghost is Hamlet’s father and it is seeking revenge at anyone, especially Claudius, who tries to or has hurt his son Hamlet. Hamlet says that Claudius killed his own brother which is King Hamlet then married his wife, Gertrude. The ghost also says he’s “destined” to suffer in “sulph’rous and tormenting flames” until the “foul crimes done in his days of nature/ Are burnt and purged away.” (1.5.6;17-18). Although the ghost is able to be seen Hamlet is the only one that has a dialogue with it.
Prince Hamlet was a hero. Despite all the drama he went through but it was worth it at the end because it showed everybody THE REAL King Claudius. Hamlet WAS rude to the king, mean to his mom and lover, and killed Polonius. People do some dumb, crazy things and they all for a good reason, well except some people because they are crazy period but in the movie Hamlet had a reason to seek revenge, to be mad at everybody, to have a grudge. Hamlet had just lost his father and then his mother married the late King Hamlet's brother in less than 2 months.
In Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hamlet, the question many wonder is, does Hamlet posses a tragic flaw? In literature, Hamlet represents the perfect standard of a tragic hero. His character’s situation begins with great motivations to seek revenge on his father’s murderer, but as the storyline slowly progresses with several twists and turns, his choices and actions become so grim that the only reasonable outcome should be his personal death. Hamlet does not live to witness the effects of his actions, which is what makes him especially similar to a traditional tragic hero. In other words, the outline of his behavior and his downfall is because he possesses a tragic flaw.
William Shakespeare is still a significant poet and playwright, even hundreds of years after his death.
