‗To be, or not to be‘ is the object of this drama, this sentence reflects the contradiction and struggle of the young prince.After struggling with his own heart, finally, the young hamlet summoned up courage and fight with his evil uncle.Act I, scene i.On a dark winter night outside Ellsinore Castle in Denmark, an officer named Bernardo comes to relieve the watchman Francisco.Shakespeare uses a dark night as the first background to establish the dark tone.It leads people to a dim kingdom.Act I, scene iii.The morning after Horatio and the guardsmen see the ghost;King Claudius gives a speech to his courtiers, explaining his recent marriage to Gertrude, his brother‘s widow and the mother of Prince Hamlet.Having established a dark, ghostly atmosphere in the first scene, Shakespeare devotes the second to the seemingly jovial court of the recently crowned King Claudius.If the area outside the castle is murky with the aura of dread and anxiety, the rooms inside the castle are devoted to an energetic attempt to banish that aura, as the king, the queen, and the courtiers desperately pretend that nothing is out of the ordinary.It is difficult to imagine a more convoluted family dynamic or a more out-of-balance political situation, but Claudius neverthele preaches an ethic of balance to his courtiers, pledging to sustain and combine the sorrow he feels for the king‘s death and the joy he feels for his wedding in equal parts.Act I, scene IV also continues the development of the motif of the ill health of Denmark.Hamlet views the king‘s carousing as a further sign of the state‘s corruption, commenting that alcohol makes the bad aspects of a person‘s character overwhelm all of his or her good qualities.And the appearance of the ghost is again seen as a sign of Denmark‘s decay, this time by Marcellus, who famously declares, ―Something is rotten in the state of Denmark‖(I.iv.67)
The short scene that begins Act II is divided into two parts, the first of which involves Polonius‘s conversation with Reynaldo about Laertes and the second of which involves Polonius‘s conversation with Ophelia about Hamlet.The scene serves to develop the character of Polonius, who is one of the most intriguing figures in Hamlet.Polonius can be interpreted as either a doddering fool or as a cunning manipulator, and he has been portrayed onstage as both.In this scene, as he carefully instructs Reynaldo in the art of snooping, he seems more the manipulator than the fool, though his obvious love of hearing his own voice leads him into some comical misprisions(―And then, sir, does a this — a does — / what was I about to say? By the ma, I was about to say some / thing.Where did I leave?‖(II.i.49–51]).In the first two scenes of Act III, Hamlet and Claudius both devise traps to catch one another‘s secrets: Claudius spies on Hamlet to discover the true nature of his madne, and Hamlet attempts to ―catch the conscience of the king‖ in the theater(III.i.582).The play-within-a-play tells the story of Gonzago, the Duke of Vienna, and his wife, Baptista, who marries his murdering nephew, Lucianus.Hamlet believes that the play is an opportunity to establish a more reliable basis for Claudius‘s guilt than the claims of the ghost.Since he has no way of knowing whether to believe a member of the spirit world, he tries to determine whether Claudius is guilty by reading his behavior for signs of a psychological state of guilt.In Act III, scene iii, Hamlet finally seems ready to put his desire for revenge into action.He is satisfied that the play has proven his uncle‘s guilt.When Claudius prays, the audience is given real certainty that Claudius murdered his brother: a full, spontaneous confeion, even though nobody else hears it.This only heightens our sense that the climax of the play is due to arrive.But Hamlet waits.As we saw in Act IV, scene ii, the murder of Polonius and the subsequent traumatic encounter with
his mother seem to leave Hamlet in a frantic, unstable frame of mind, the mode in which his excitable nature seems very similar to actual madne.He taunts Claudius, toward whom his hostility is now barely disguised, and makes light of Polonius‘s murder with word games.He also pretends to be thrilled at the idea of sailing for England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.As befits a scene full of anger and dark thoughts, Act IV, scene v brings a repetition of the motif of insanity, this time through the character of Ophelia, who has truly been driven mad by the death of her father.Shakespeare has demonstrated Ophelia‘s chaste dependence on the men in her life;after Polonius‘s sudden death and Hamlet‘s subsequent exile, she finds herself abruptly without any of them.In the final scene, the violence, so long delayed, erupts with dizzying speed.Characters drop one after the other, poisoned, stabbed, and, in the case of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, executed, as the theme of revenge and justice reaches its conclusion in the moment when Hamlet finally kills Claudius.In the moments before the duel, Hamlet seems peaceful, though also quite sad.Throughout this drama, maybe I do not have enough ability to appreciate it absolutely;I learn that people will feel at sea at times, but we must keep up our spirits to struggle and find a correct way to strive.
