Hamlet's First Soliloquy Essay

Decent Essays
At the end of the soliloquy he takes himself out of this reflective technique by deciding that if you think too much, it will be the thing that will prevent the action he has to come up to. This is not completley a moment of possible suicide. It’s not that he’s looking at suicide as much as reflecting on life, and we find that theme all through the text. In this soliloquy life is burdensome and free of power. In other words, it’s tired, old, flat and unprofitable,’ like a garden with too many weeds. In this soliloquy Hamlet gives a list of all the things that annoy him about life: the whips and scorns of time, the oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, the pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, the insolence of office and the spurns

    Shakespeare has Hamlet act increasingly obsessed with his task to the point where he makes a conscious decision to enact vengeance at any cost.

He also describes how the eventual overcoming of said adversity will result in the re-emergence of one’s ethics.

    He talks about the vile and incestuous wedding that has occurred, about suicide and about the rankness and corruption within Denmark and the world, describing the world as an unweeded garden. However, the juxtapositions give his speech greater meaning. He compares his late father (King Hamlet) to his once uncle now (step) father (Claudius), as “Hyperion to a satyr” (I.ii.142). Hyperion was the Greek titan who was the father of the sun, dawn, and moon. He had virtues of honour, integrity, and nobility.…

    In Hamlet’s first epilogue, Hamlet grieves the passing of his father and expresses his fury at the kingdom rather than explicitly declaring his contemplative state of suicide. The turmoil he encounters after the unforeseen death of his father and how hastily his mother and his uncle, his father’s brother, were so eager to marry “But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two: / …and yet, within a month- -” (Shakespeare 1.2.142-149). Hamlet’s frustration and emotions pours from the depth of his inner soul. The in-depth depression he suffers of his mother’s new impious relationship brings suicidal thoughts to Hamlet.…

    Hamlet's first soliloquy contrasts the controlled dialogue he exchanges with his mother and uncle. His true emotions of anger, hatred, and grief pour out when he is alone with the audience. He characterizes Denmark as a “weary” (1.2.34) land filled with “rank” and “gross” inhabitants (1.2.137). Due to his mother’s remarriage and uncle’s coronation, Hamlet loses all hope for the people of his country and no longer sees the beauty of his kingdom. So distraught by his family’s betrayal, Hamlet wishes for relief in the form of death.…

    Shakespeare’s “To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy in Hamlet is possibly the most quoted passage of any of his works and even those who have never read the text of the play have likely at some point in their lives heard the famous words “to be or not to be”. While many are familiar with this opening line it is only when one is familiar of the context in which it is spoken that they realize its true meaning which may come as a shock. These lines are spoken in the context of the protagonist contemplating suicide. Shakespeare likely wrote Hamlet’s soliloquy using inclusive language and philosophical concepts when discussing suicide because during the Elizabethan Era when the play was written, suicide was considered a mortal sin and the audience may have viewed Hamlet as a…

    Jacob Vore Advanced Poetry Mr. Dranginis 2/15/16 Hamlet; An Existential Character One of the most common and cliche questions you hear people ask is, “What is the meaning of life?”. This question has never been answered and has been pondered by philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham. Philosophers have also contemplated over the value of life, as is seen in ethical theories such as utilitarianism, to help answer existential questions. Merriam-Webster defines existentialism as a “philosophical movement… centering on analysis of individual existence in an unfathomable universe and the plight of the individual who must assume ultimate responsibility for acts of free”. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we see Hamlet struggle to answer questions regarding the true meaning of humanity, the meaning and value of life, and who Hamlet is as a person.…

    Shakespeare’s Hamlet, an age-old tale of revenge, most prominently contains the theme of delay and ambivalence. In Hamlet, the main and titular character Hamlet, enacts a ploy of revenge against his step-father Claudius, who killed his father, and married his mother, but Hamlet only does so after almost five months of waiting. Hamlet faces many moments of ambivalent filled moments of hesitation throughout the play. Shakespeare deliberately inserts this delay by through his soliloquies, which lengthens the plot as well as develops Hamlet and the themes. Besides Hamlet however, the theme of delay is also developed through the character of Polonius.…
