Analysis of shakespeare\'s hamlet
Throughout Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet feelings and passion are an enormous distraction for the main character Hamlet. Hamlet tends to act as though he were an adolescent rather than a grown man. He acts very immature, so sarcastic, and takes action, before thinking it out, in the heat of anger. The abilities to love, control one's actions, and to subdue one's depression are signs of becoming mature however, Hamlet, a grown man, has a difficult time controlling these abilities. Although Hamlet may be a man who has come of age nevertheless he tends to identify with the likes of an adolescent because of his irrational actions. In addition, Hamlet has a particular problem controlling his love for Ophelia as well as controlling his actions. It is apparent that Hamlet loves Ophelia in his own special manner when he says: To the celestial, and my soul idol, most beautified Ophelia (Act 2 scene 2 line 116-117) Although he may love her with all his might, as he tells Laeretes:, I loved Ophelia; Forty thousand brothers Could not with all their quantity of love. Make up my sum (Act 5 scene 1 lines 264-266)Hamlet is too immature to love her enough to trust her in their relationship. This trust that he is lacking wi
Hamlet acts a lot on his impulses yet he does this in order to finish the business that he has set out to do. Hamlet although technically an adult will always and forever be remembered as an immature, irrational, adolescent by me. " / And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Hamlet's actions have become more and more accepted over time however, his actions then were only accepted then because of his ability to act mad. ll give him the ability to hand Ophelia the key to his madness however, due to immaturity he is unable to hand her the key. Most mature people will take the time to find out what is behind an arras before stabbing at it in a blind rage. /" (Act 1 scene 2 lines 69-70) for a young adult and a prince, Hamlet is even more immature in his actions and thought than an adolescent. Much like an adolescent, Hamlet only takes action when he becomes angry or furious with someone or something. Had Hamlet acted like that always his behavior would be very unacceptable to society. (Act 2 scene 2 lines 187) He is also very crude to Ophelia when he asks her: "Lady shall I lie in your lap? / (Act 3 scene 2 line 110), and does this in a time when he knows people can hear what his saying therefore they too become offended by his behavior. He uses these qualities very often in order to be harsh when offending people. Just as an adolescent might, he tends to provoke people with his words in front of others that deserve respect. His madness is understood however, as a mature adult, he should be able to control himself and be able to overcome his father's death. /" (Act 3 scene 2 lines 175-176) Hamlet does not care when he offends someone or even who he offends.
