The weak and suspicious avenger

Precious 2022-01-08 08:02:49

Many remarks say that Hamlet has transformed from a simple child to a strong avenger, but I don’t think so. I think Hamlet is always weak. He has only changed from a weak and innocent child to a weak and suspicious avenger until his death, including the successful duel of the final revenge. It was Leati arranged for his father’s revenge, not Hamlet. Voluntarily requested. The environment in which he grew up had to make him strong. This is not really strong. This is a skill that he has to possess for revenge, like a high-rise building cast under unstable foundations.

Hamlet is lonely, and there is no one by his side who can be trusted to rely on. Uncle killed her father to usurp the throne; mother's betrayal of his father; his good friend Rosenkran betrayed himself; the beloved girl Ophelia had nothing but promises to her father. He doesn't believe in family, friendship, or love, and Hamlet is suspicious and dissatisfied with his own world.

Shakespeare himself said that there are a thousand Hamlet in a thousand people's hearts, so everyone can look at this story according to their different experiences, and the same thing is that everyone will have a painful process of transformation like Hamlet.

Hamlet quotes

  • Hamlet: Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio - a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung these lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?

  • Hamlet: If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart, absent thee from felicity awhile and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain to tell my story.
