The Villain

Hamlet is usually not the one view as a evil person. But actually, he is more likely to be viewed as a very honorable young prince. By the end of Hamlet, when Fortinbras found out the true story from Horatio, he says that, “Bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage, For he was likely, had he been put on,To have proved most royal” (5.2 362-64). Fortinbras praise Hamlet as a really good man who has shown his value and courage. Although, watching Hamlet all the way through the play, it is obvious to question just how good he really was, and it is not difficult to still point out his bad actions. Whether or not Hamlet was good person with respectable intentions in the beginning of the play, by the end of the story he turns into an villain.

Hamlet’s treatment of Ophelia is not the conduct of a noble gentleman. If Hamlet was trying to protect Ophelia from the complete plan of murder, his talk with her shows lack of consideration. Some would say that he treats her poorly. He also could have been making the whole thing up when he said that, but a good person would have never say such rude things. Hamlet continue going with his brutality and says “Get thee to a nunnery” (3.1.119). He is fully striking Ophelia from all angles. He is decreasing her status as a woman. Hamlet is taking things too far that he is abusing the people that he loves. I would say that this is a definition of a

    Claudius commits one of the oldest sins when he poisons his own brother in his path to become king of Denmark. He ventures even farther into evil when he seduces the old queen, his sister-in-law and uses her as well on his path to kingship. Despite Claudius’ declaration of guilt, he admits that he is still benefiting from his sins, and chooses power and greed over salvation: “That cannot be; since I am still possess’d of those effects for which I did the murder, my crown, mine own ambition, and my queen” (4.3, 57-59). Claudius is also a master manipulator and uses it to get his ways.

    He did this by acting like he does not love Ophelia, even though he really does to portray himself as insane, in order to carry out his revenge. Hamlet was trying to protect her all along by denying his love, only to shield her from the dangers that could potentially come her way. Hamlet shows his love for Ophelia when he confesses to her that he loves her, sends her his letter and poems of affection, and when he comes to terms with the fact she is no longer alive. Many can argue that Hamlet did not love Ophelia, but he was only trying to protect her in the end. There is a great deal of evidence proving that his love for her was true, even at times it was over casted by his own plots.…

Hamlet’s behaviour toward Ophelia throughout their conversation is telling of his mental state. When he first sees her, he proclaims: “The fair Ophelia.…

    Internal Vices To be human is to be at a constant mental battle between being moral or succumbing to personal desire. People are naturally embedded with emotions that often dictate our decisions and thoughts; therefore, people’s minds are often completely ruled by this internal struggle.

All of these characters are overcome with emotions that inevitably lead to their downfalls, indicating that Shakespeare’s message was that to be human means to be consumed by…
