Critical Anaylsis on Hamlet
Hamlet is considered by many scholars to be William Shakespeare's masterpiece. Shakespeare has written many tragedies, comedies, and histories. His works have been widely produced around the world and are read more widely than any other author in the world. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon which was a small market town. He finished his schooling before marrying at the age of 18 and moved to London to seek his William Shakespeare was said to have knowledge in music, law, the Bible, military science, the stage, art, politics, the sea, history, hunting, woodcraft, and sports.

Hamlet tries to test Claudius' guilt by performing a play which will reproduce Claudius' crime and observe his reaction to it. Hamlet pledges to revenge his murder by Claudius who, the ghost also informs Hamlets, had committed adultery with his queen during his lifetime. The ghost in Hamlet symbolizes Hamlet's father and the crime that Claudius had done to the kingdom of Denmark and to his own family. He does not want to fail his father, his mother, and himself. After Hamlet's father's death and the hasty remarriage of his mother to his uncle, Hamlet started to fall into a suicidal frame of mind. If Hamlet would have killed Claudius the night of the play, Polonius, Ophelia, Gertrude, and Laertes would have possibly lived. Claudius married his brother's wife, Gertrude, the Queen of Denmark. In my opinion, if Hamlet would not have waited so long to kill Claudius then he could have possibly saved the lives of those that died due to Hamlet'enius and many of his works can be read and interpreted in many different ways. I can understand Hamlet's anger towards Claudius and his careful planning of his assassination. The main theme in Hamlet was revenge.
