    Psychoanalytical criticism‚ the field of literary criticism most notably developed by Sigmund Freud’s psychological theories‚ reached its peak in the 1940’s and 1950’s. His widespread recognition stemmed from Freudian concepts such as the Oedipal complex‚ which came from his book An Interpretation of Dreams written in 1899. This theory developed by Freud says that at a very young age a child can generate an intense feeling of love for the parent of opposite sex‚ and an almost extreme dislike for

    Prince Hamlet struggles with the inexplicable death of his father‚ the betrayal by his uncle‚ and the inadvertent murder of a seemingly innocent man. Laertes likewise suffers through the accidental death of his father‚ the betrayal by a man close to the family‚ and the snide and sneaky murder of that same man.

    In the story Hamlet‚ by William Shakespeare‚ the sane Hamlet occasionally switches between the realms of sanity and insanity. When madness suits Hamlets purpose‚ he puts on an "antic disposition" (I.V.173). On the other hand‚ when sanity proves worthy‚ Hamlet goes back to being logical. Hamlet claims he is "mad north-north-west" (II.ii.376)‚ meaning he is crazy sometimes and sane other times. Therefore‚ to achieve his short-term goals‚ Hamlet shifts between sanity and insanity‚ this ironically

    stated that‚ “Action is the foundational key to success”. The story of Hamlet is a superb example of how overthinking can be detrimental.

The foils of Hamlet‚ Laertes and Fortinbras‚ who immediately avenged their father’s deaths‚ are perfect examples of the success a “Man of Action’ can obtain. Unlike his opposites‚ Hamlet becomes so entangled with his own thought process‚ that he cannot make a

He battles with his mind through soliloquys‚ he overhears
