William Shakespeare, the most remarkable playwright and poet of England in the period of the Renaiance.“HAMLET” is a claical representative work of Shakespeare and is one of the four great tragedies of Shakespeare.This play creates many vivid characters, particularly the image of Hamlet is most well-known.To begin with, Hamlet is a intelligent and brave man.There are some reasons to support this.Firstly, he feigns madne after the ghost tells him that his father was murdered by Claudius.Secondly, when there is a theatrical troupe coming to perform in the imperial palace, Hamlet comes up with a great idea.He directs a play with his talent on writing to prove that his uncle was the murder.Thirdly, facing the contrast and difficulties in his life, he doesn't shrink back but choose to accomplish the revenge plan with more efforts.Besides,Hamlet is a hesitant man.Because Hamlet has dual-responsibility.One is to revenge for the death of his father.The other one is to give Denmark people a peaceful life.Being a son and a prince, he has to take all responsibilities.But due to the heavy responsibility, he doesn't believe that he can accomplish it.He couldn't decide to do or not to do for such a long time.Last but least,Hamlet is a man of melancholy.The source of his melancholy is disillusion of ideal.Because Hamlet is a humanist who is full of sweet hope for the everything.But he suffered a series of unfortunate and domestic misfortune suddenly: his father’s death, his mother’s remarriage, his uncle’s usurpation, and his girl friend’s betrayal.The harsh and ugly reality broke his happy ideal, and which led his humanistic beliefs were shattered.In short, Hamlet’s character is complex and profound and his image is distinct and great.
