Analysis Of Ophelia And Gertrude In Shakespeare's Hamlet

Ophelia and Gertrude both love Hamlet and both were left heartbroken when he pushed them out of his life. However, many people do not believe that he pushed away the people he cared about. Throughout the play we see Hamlet insult, condemn, and break the hearts of people who loved him. He drives Ophelia mad and breaks his mother’s heart. Hamlet becomes self-centered and only cares about how he feels. He stops caring about Ophelia because he believes that she is a spy and rejects his mother because she rushed to get married after the death of his father, which proved to be a sin in the eyes of Hamlet. Hamlet is a brilliant young man who was once loving and kind to those around him until after the death of his father, his mother’s marriage, and

He tells the ghost to stop looking at him unless he wants him to cry instead of kill. Upon hearing this Gertrude asks, “To whom do you speak this?” Which Hamlet quickly responds by asking, “Do you see nothing there?” Gertrude, who is now baffled by the things her son is seeing, answers with, “Nothing at all, yet all that is I see.” It is here that Hamlet fears for his sanity, he no longer knows whether the ghost is real or just a figment of his imagination. He becomes more and more confused as the discussion continues. Flustered, he points toward the ghostly figure and says, “Why, look you there! Look how it steals away—” Here we can see that Hamlet is trying to point out what he is seeing to his mother who does not see anything. She then accuses him of being mad by saying, “This the very coinage of your brain. This bodiless creation.” Hamlet becomes very confused because he can see his father as clear as day, but his mother claims that he is hallucinating. Hamlet is a smart young man who cannot justify the reason why he is being betrayed and why he is the only one who can see the ghost. Even though Hamlet has been confused by these things, he never tries to figure out why they occurred. People should not look at him as an example because he does not try to figure out his

He would be alive at this point if he would have been quiet. Hamlet in his quest for revenge has become very edgy and when he saw an opportunity to strike at the king he took it. He had no knowledge that Polonius was in the room, but instead believed that it was Claudius who had entered the room in an effort to seduce his mother into lying with him in bed. When Hamlet heard the voice behind the tapestry call for help, he pounced and seized at what he thought was his chance to kill Claudius. He was wrong, however, and shed the innocent blood of a loyal servant. Many people would say that Hamlet does not want to get revenge for the death of his father, but throughout the play, we see Hamlet doing that very thing. He concocts multiple plans in an attempt to make the king confess what he has done, that way Hamlet can punish him for his cruel actions. Hamlet became so consumed with his quest for revenge that he ended up killing innocent people in hopes that it was the king. His goal was not justice, but to see his uncle end up dead for the murder of his father. Hamlet is a smart young man, who throughout the play lusts for revenge. He wants to make his uncle suffer for the crimes of he committed and should not be an example to anyone because he believes that the only way to solve the problem of his father’s murder is to take revenge. Hamlet also loses the ability to think about other things because his quest for revenge takes
