The character of Hamlet just wants to get even with the man that killed his father. In turn, through some of the events that take place, Hamlet believes it to be his uncle Claudius. Hamlet has a great deal of hatred toward his uncle, and all of the occurrences that take place lead to many different tragedies. It has been stated that, “No character is more familiar to audiences around the globe than Hamlet” (Puchner, 2626). The character of Hamlet is very complex in his internal conflict, but in contrast is the Shakespearean tragic hero that we sympathize with. With all that has been discovered with the character of Hamlet, it is easy to infer that he is an iconic individual, yet he has his own inward struggles. He obviously is battling something

In Act 3, Scene 1, Hamlet is thinking and more than likely in his own word; this is probably where his internal conflict is. He goes on to exchange words with Ophelia. According to one criticism, it appears that Hamlet is either irritated or actually trying to care. That is the thing about the way Hamlet feels and acts to ward others. He has so much confusion that is happening inside of him, he cannot manage his own inner thoughts. (hamlets perfection) “Hamlet is completely trapped: he can find authenticity neither within nor outside the society, since both to step outside the official nexus of the court, and to commit himself to it, involves a loss of integrity, disintegration” (Eagleton, 57). It appears as though Hamlet cannot escape the struggle that is going on within him. While Hamlet was in conversation with the King, he went on to say things like “public worms are e’en at him” and “your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service”. A person who has a great deal of opposition taking place inside of them would probably be saying these things. Hamlet may not even be able to control the thoughts that are taking place in his inmost being. His internal conflict chooses his tragic …show more content…
He struggles with just how to do this, and at one point thinks that he has found the chance. However, Hamlet realizes that he cannot kill Claudius because that would just lead to other things happening and probably Claudius being rewarded in death rather than punished. The tragedy that Hamlet went through can be described as, “he is the heir apparent of the throne; his father dies suspiciously; his mother excludes him form the throne by marrying his uncle. This was not enough, but the Ghost of the murdered father is introduced to assure the son that he was put to death by his own brother” (Collier, 65). This example supports that Hamlet has quite a bit of internal conflict. But it is no wonder that Hamlet strains day after day trying to decide what he should do just to get back the thrown that is rightfully his. Hamlet confirms this when he claims, “How stand I then, that I have a father killed, a mother stained” (2695). Just the passing of his father placed a large load on to Hamlet’s shoulders. He truly shows that he is a tragic hero in Act 1, Scene 5 when talking to the ghost. He swears to the ghost that he will get justice for his father’s death. Hamlet exemplifies a tragic hero in that he usually counters back with clever remarks. He uses these around almost everyone he comes in contact with. In Act 1, Scene 2 he uses the language with
