Hamlet
Hamlet, the philosophical and enigmatic central character of Shakespeare's Hamlet, is a character that deliberately decides to trick his enemies by affecting a mad personality, but in doing so, is changed by his facade. Hamlet, after entering the "unweeded garden" of Denmark, is affected by the evil of the Court. His philosophical studies of the university from which he came have no use in the reality of the political court and he must affect a rash and mad character in order to survive. However, by doing this, Hamlet opens a door to which a flood of rashness, surreptitiousness, and cold heartedness escapes. Hamlet enters the court as a young student of the University. Hamlet, although being a Prince, is far more interested in the philosophical than the political. Hamlet is a man who is controlled by thought; every action must have a reason to justify it. More so, Hamlet even tries to comprehend the unifying basis of action by which every man acts as he tackles complex unanswerable questions such
However, I do not believe that it is the role as a madman that he was playing. Finally, Hamlet, despite the long drawn process of planning his perfect revenge on Claudius, kills him swiftly, almost anticlimactically, taking brief action over long thought. Hamlet's acceptance to avenge his father's death is his first step into entering the realm of Denmark. Perhaps, it is the other way around. He is able to leave his reality and change character in order to play for an audience. However, as Hamlet begins to affect his madness, his character is transformed. The Hamlet seen in Act 1 Scene 1 would never even consider taking these actions. Moreover, Hamlet becomes rash and abusive at times. Additionally, Hamlet does not even think twice in sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to a cold blooded death after leaving them to die. Up to this point, Hamlet has acted as a student of thought would. Although Hamlet is not completely transformed through the majority of the play, his mad character allows him to take actions that he would not have done had he remained unchanged. From the beginning of the play, Hamlet is characterized as scholastic, sarcastic, and shy. Once entered into the world of the political and the under handed, Hamlet must devise a way in order to fool his enemies and plot against the King. However, by taking on this disguise, Hamlet's mind reveals to the reader the rash and violent subconscious that lay dormant. He begins to lose faith in his philosophies as he doubts his beliefs and questions the meanings of life and death.
