The birth of Hamlet just added more jealousy to the pot. Claudius envied his brother he wanted to take the place of him, so much as to kill his brother. Then as the coward he is he kept the truth from all of Denmark. No one had known he was the one to kill his brother so he pretended to be sad for the look of it. “That we with wisest sorrow think on him / Together with remembrance of ourselves" (Hamlet 1.2.6-7) Claudius had pronounced after the death of his brother.

    In Shakespearean plays it is a prominent technique to portray a character having ambition to obtain power, which leads to them making selfish decisions and committing evil actions. This was seen in Macbeth, as Macbeth killed King Duncan in order to achieve his goal of becoming King, and in this play, Hamlet, Claudius’ desire to become King of Denmark triggered him to kill his brother and start making decisions in order to sustain his power. The hunger to maintain authority motivates Claudius to make choices for personal benefit, and this puts the lives of others in jeopardy, thus evoking chaos. Also, the obsession to keep power causes Claudius to weaken the relationships between those around him, leading to the demise of several characters.…

    While Hamlet is willing to hurt and push away his loved ones in order to perfect his insane act, Claudius is willing to go to much more dangerous and morbid lengths to preserve his great image and create a flawless façade. To make sure Hamlet will not expose the real him, Claudius is prepared to plan Hamlets own murder. After Claudius confirms that Hamlet knows of the murder and is a threat to his “good guy act”, he tells Hamlet he is set for England, and later reveals his letter to the King of England which says that he must help him with ‘”the present death of Hamlet, for like the hectic in [Claudius’] blood, he rages” (4.3.65-66). Claudius is willing to do whatever it may take to tie up his loose ends and perfect his image, all to hide his true self.

    If Claudius never existed there would be no Hamlet. King Hamlet would have probably died of natural causes or something else and when he died, Hamlet would just take the throne without any problem. Claudius set up the whole play from the moment he poured the poison down King Hamlet’s ear. With the crown as his goal he tells the public that his “dear brother” died after being bitten by a snake, and proceeds to take Elsinore and Gertrude. After the ghost of King Hamlet tells Hamlet that, “that incestuous, that adulterate beast, with witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts….won to his shameful lust the will of my most seeming-virtuous queen.”, that is what starts the plot as Hamlet is now filled with anger and revenge as he says, “It is 'Adieu, adieu!…
