Hamlet Soliloquy Analysis

Before this soliloquy, the young Hamlet regales in the rule of a family well established in Denmark. He sets off to his studies which are progressing without any interference. This is until the death of his father which brings back to Denmark (Mason). He falls into deep mourning for the passing of his father as well as the void left behind. He minds the plight of his mother and the kingdom now left vacant by the sudden and untimely departure of loving father. The soliloquy is also intensified by the ghost of Old Hamlet who creates a window of the events that culminated to his sudden demise. The phantom which intrigues Hamlet lets him know of the possibility of foul play that may have resulted in his unintended death.

The plot is evident once unearthed despite the reluctance of Hamlet to let the ghost if his father decides the fate of the uncle. According to him, the death was orchestrated by the wife despite his unwavering and evident love for her (Meer, 2018). This explains the shameful remarriage which is both unwarranted given the relationship with Claudius brother and the response of a mature King who is Hamlet himself. ‘…Ah, I wish my dirty flesh could melt away into a vapor, or that God had not made a law against suicide. Oh God, God! How tired, stale, and pointless life is to me…’ It is through this perseverance that we also find another modern depiction of this soliloquy (Meer, 2018). Grief is a period in which one is supposed to transit from the life in which they lived together to one that the person has soon departed.

It is at this moment that the good times are cherished as we can see from the pain of Hamlet and the acceptance of the new status is cemented. Hamlet reveals a good side of the human nature. Here we find a balance between his will to soldier on and avenges his father death and the failing spirit that yearns to give in. His mother has already washed her face to embrace a new beginning which she ostensibly foresaw but Hamlet is yet to do so ‘…My father’s only been dead for two months—no, not even two. Such an excellent king, as superior to my uncle as a god is to a beast, and so loving toward my mother that he kept the wind from blowing too hard on her face.

Many families are normally caught in wrangles with the beneficiaries of the deceased smiling at the grave while the real mourners wander around in torment as they mourn the loss. This line gives a peak at the life of Hamlet. First he is astute leader both in terms of politics and military. He recruits wisely and leads his people to successful conquests which givens Denmark me victory. He is also loving given the doting passion that he gave Gertrude. Question Two In the play, the final scene depicts well the aspects of fate and coincidence. After a long struggle with the meaning of death as well as the harbinger of a fruitless future that it carries, Hamlet contemplates suicide. He swallowed a greatdeal of community pride to make a toast with the whites and offer them a chance to talk about the shared values and their claims (Sandefur & Deloria, 2018).
