Character Analysis Of Hamlet In Hamlet - 730 Words

Hamlet is a character of melancholy because he is a very sad individual finding out that his very own uncle has killed his father. He is wanting to commit suicide but he’s contemplating it because it is a sin. He is not to fond of Claudius considering he was the one that had killed his father in the first place. â€Å"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† This quote is showing how he is bitter towards the thoughts of his mother marrying his uncle. He finds that incest but if you look deeper this was not her brother it was his father’s brother.

Hamlet is very upset and wants revenge against the person who has committed the crime of murder against his father. Same thing with Laertes. He’s upset the Polonius has been killed by Hamlet. Laertes is wanting to kill Hamlet, which he succeeds in, but then again people can argue that Laertes has killed himself instead of saying Hamlet killed him because Laertes is the one that had poisoned the tip of the sword and was going to cut Hamlet with it. So Hamlet got the sword that was found on the ground that had been poisoned and killed Laertes with it. Hamlet is envious just like Laertes because not only did Claudius kill Old Hamlet which is Hamlets father he had also â€Å"accidentally† poisoned Gertrude. If Claudius did not want Gertrude to drink the drink that had the poison in it what was the point of letting her drink it? I think he would’ve stopped her if he was so worried about it, right? But. Hamlet did not stop wanting revenge until he got his hands on Claudius which he did. His mother never believed him when he was telling her that Claudius had killed her ex husband and his father.
