Death is never something that one can erase from memory, but many people try to take actions that will validate the death of their loved one.

In Hamlet’s case, he finds revenge through means of deception to be what helps him cope with the tragic death. He uses a facade and anger towards Claudius and Gertrude to drive his actions.…

    Darkness lurks over the garden as towering trees cast their immense shadows onto the hard dirt. Pebbles scatter the terrain mimicking the large boulder on which a man lies weeping. Gaining composure, he stands to his feet. Hesitating for only a second, the man’s companion places a gentle kiss of death upon his cheek. Torches flicker past the nearest mountain peak as a mob marches in unison, swords in hand.…

    For any son, the death of one’s father will definitely have a huge impact on their life however it appears that for Hamlet rather than simple grief or remorse, Hamlet instead turns to madness. Hamlet’s psychological development can be analyzed during his soliloquy of Act 2, Scene ii where he decides to plot against Claudius to revenge his father as well as Act 3 Scene IV. After King Hamlet’s death and putting Hamlet in a situation of where he must pretend to be insane, Hamlet’s true sanity can be questioned through his decision making and through the analysis of his pleasure seeking id, his realistic ego, and his over-thinking superego from a psychoanalytical reading of the text. By taking a look through the psychoanalytical lens, it is apparent through Hamlet’s long soliloquy that the death of his father is very much taking a toll on his mind. Upon analyzing the mental state of the struggling prince, one can…

    No longer grieving, Hamlet puts on a play using those closest to Claudius as his props. We understand Hamlet’s loss of sanity is intentionally acted as he says, “I am but mad north-west; when the wind is southerly- I know a hawk from a handsaw.” The bitterness with which Hamlet looks at everyone around him and life itself had been present since Act I. We gather Hamlet’s feelings of contempt at his life in his first soliloquy when he says, “O, that this sullied flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew.” Now the wishes for self-slaughter have changed into murderous thoughts against Claudius.…
