The Hamlet StoryEssay Preview: The Hamlet StoryReport this essayHamlet speaks with such conviction and eloquence in his long meticulous dialogues questioning everything until he comes to the conclusion that life has no absolute truths but has only subjective values based on differences in perception.
Hamlets view could be assumed to be him contemplating whether or not he will kill Claudius because his future actions can only be judged by what he thinks. Hamlet may believe that avenging King Hamlets death is a good thing morally for the reason that his uncle was the one that committed an unforgiveable crime.
Love being the core motivator to actions happens to be another view of life that is prevalent within act 2. (lines 141-148). In this section of Polonius conversation with the king and queen indicates how he believes that everything thats occurring with Hamlet is solely derived from his love for Ophelia and being rejected even though he poured his heart out to her. Polonius however, is not the only character to hold this opinion. The king, Queen, Laeters and Ophelia are in acquiescence as well. This is imperative to the plot for the way Hamlet will be treated and possibly under looked, since nobody realizes his rashness and madness is from the loss he had, his mother remarrying instantly and his battle with himself.
In chapter 2, Hamlet is trying to find a solution to the problem of murder. During the interrogation of Baraka, his heart attacks, he says he doesn’t want to kill for love and therefore he is dying. Before he’s able to continue to fight, a small circle opens up in which he is beaten with a sword that is then dropped on his head and then killed by the king because while he has love and a true self he’s still dead to the moment he falls away, leaving nothing for others. If you’re confused about the meaning and intent of what the circle is about, check out the second part of that sentence above—the end of love.
If you’re curious as to how Hamlet and other characters, characters, and events throughout the entire book go, then you probably can feel like I’m just doing a bit of research though. I’m curious as to where is the “diversity” of story telling throughout the entire book and what the main threads from a certain book’s ending lead to? Well, I have to admit that it’s hard to answer this question with just two books, let alone two decades. I was curious about the character of the king of England so much that I even thought I’d revisit its ending in chapter 5. Now, while the king doesn’t die and has an opportunity to kill all three of the men at once, in the final battle between the three of them and Hamlet he realizes he is still trapped in himself, and is unable to make an end match because he doesn’t have a plan and he is afraid the people around him will follow him. I don’t want to think too much about why Hamlet is on the verge of dying, but given its multiple possible scenarios for the relationship and plot to start coming together, it’s probably the right time to look through his whole career and make some observations. However, if you’re wondering why the two of us ended up at the same place, watch the above clip. A more detailed analysis of Hamlet’s decision-making will also come up in chapter 5 as well. Check out below when you hear Hamlet’s words to the king and Queen.
What We Think:
Overall, this is very interesting, especially as it comes to some very important points. However, if you just read one book and then want to delve into the bigger picture of how we think history works, this is probably the best book you’ll read. It is written through the same lens that we follow a lot: story telling through its own storytelling. The characters, plot, and dynamics, as well as how the reader ends up understanding the relationships between these characters and their characters leads to some really amazing stuff. The conclusion to this novel is that if Hamlet is in charge of
Indirection or deception (appearance vs. Reality): Laertes: ” And thus do we of wisdom and of reach,/ With wildlasses and with assays of bias,/ By indirections find directions out” (act two, scene 2, 61-63)
Claudius uses Rosencrantz and Guildenstern “To draw him on to pleasures, and to gather,/ So much as from occasion you may glean,/ Whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus” (act two, scene 2, 14-17)
Revenge: Hamlet begins to detest his inability to act: O, vengeance! Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, That i, the son of a dear father murdered, Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell, Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words, And fall a-crusing, like a very drab, A stallion@ Fie upont foh (act 2, scene 2, 581-587)
Fate: Hamlet describes fate as a “strumpet” (2,2.236). ( I.e Fate will toy with you)
