Hamlet Thesis
Hamlet Character thesis
The tragedy of Hamlet is the most famous in English plays, focusing on the complications arising from betrayal, love and death without giving the audience a final and positive resolution to them. Conclusion of this play will be a no definitive answer to life’s most alarming questions. Hamlet’s world is a perpetual enigma.
Hamlet is indecisive and doubtful.
Hamlet is generally characterized as indecisive, a man who is always doubtful about things. Inititally Hamlet decides, after his meeting his father in a form of a ghost, to take revenge of his father’s death. He said:

His high-morale can be seen, but there is obvious impossibility of murdering Claudius within his book of morals.
He was very thoughtful to the point of worship. Hamlet also behaved impulsively and rashly in the play. It is surprising when he does act, when he stabs Polonius through a curtain without even confirming who he is. He steps very easily into the role of a madman, upsetting the other characters with his obvious innuendos and wild speech. He behaves erratically too sometime in the play.
However it is also important to note that he is extremely discontented with the affairs in Denmark and of his own family. He got very disappointed in his mother for marrying his uncle soon after his father’s death. He also repudiated Ophelia who was once he claimed to love wholeheartedly. He considers his own death and even committing suicide. He portrays his distrust and disgust in women through his harsh words. Even him professing dissatisfaction, it is notable that he should think about the threats to Denmark’s national
