Hamlet

In William Shakespeare story, “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,” Hamlet goes home to see that his father has passed away while he out studying in a school far away. Not only that, but he also comes home to see that its only been a while that his father has died and his mother has remarried. His mother didn’t marry any men either; his mother married his father’s brother, Claudius.

“That it should come to this, but two months dead, nay not so much, not two… within a month, Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her galled eyes, she married. O most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets; it is not, nor it cannot come to good, but break my heart, for I must hold my tongue”(1364).

Hamlet has a reason to be mad at his mother. The fact that his mother remarries so fast and that the person she decides to marry is his uncle. Someone who he dose not like and dose not care much about him. Hamlet goes insane or ill because his fathers dead has a big impact in his life and so far is the only one that cares that he has died. Hamlet also finds out Ophelia, his lovely sister has been buried, and he begins to lose his mind. Anyone one round him is happy at that the fact that his mother the queen got remarried to someone else. Not only that but when his father died he has the position to become king. But now that Claudius has married his mother he took that him hamlet. People around him notice that he has become ill or insane by the dilemma that he is facing. I believe that he has becomes confuse about the whole thing. He doesn’t know what to do. His father ghost to kill Claudius hunts him. But hamlet never killed anyone and doesn’t want to kill anymore but by his father ghost who keeps on telling him to kill.

The fathers ghost tell hamlet: “but that I am forbid to tell the secrets of my prison-house, I could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy youth blood… revenge his foul and most unnatural murder (1373). The father ghost asking to have avenged. Hamlet wants to make sure that the ghost is telling him the truth and so he dose a play which Claudius will see, to see the reaction on his face to know rather he killed his father or not. Hamlet will re-reenact the story of his father murder, by poison.
