before losing her father lured Hamlet into her trap and was not
In Hamlet, Gertrude is a woman who means no harm but whose poor judgment contributes greatly to the terrible events that occur. There are only two female characters in the play, and neither one--Gertrude or Ophelia--is assertive. But the decisions Gertrude does make eventually lead to her death and the downfall of others as well. We first realize in Act I, Scene 2 that poor judgment is her major character flaw. As the mother of a grieving son, Gertrude should have been more sensitive to Hamlet's
has evolved to the internet, social medias, and a way of communication. In this written task, I have decided to rewrite William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, into different text message conversations between the characters. However, the whole play will not be included. In this play, the audience sees the different altercations and events in which the characters conversate with one another. The idea of this task is to show the audience the tragedy of Shakespeare, but in a more modern way. In this generation
In Shakespheres’ play, is Hamlet really crazy or is he just faking it? The only people who regard Hamlet as truly mad are the king and the henchmen, but they all had their doubts. There seems to be an abundance of evidence that Hamlet is really crazy. This paper will go through both sides of the argument but will only prove one. This paper is to prove that really is truly mad. Hamlet was making it look like he was mad because there was much to gain from it. He could gain being king from killing

I, Horatio, speaking in regard to my beloved Hamlet who lost his life in tragedy. His body rest in the soil, yet his soul remains alive in my heart. A young prince who lost the chance and privilege to express his strategies and strength to better the land of Denmark. All people be aware that the prince has been murdered just like his father the king. The king and his son, Hamlet, were as innocent as a white sheet of paper. They were too good to have their life taken away. My sorrow and grief will
it seems that Gertrude is shallow and that she only thinks about her own pleasures. It was not until Hamlet confronted her about the problems when she had realized what she had done. This might seem unjust to being with, but in the end it gave Hamlet justice. It let him have the satisfaction that his mother did not do these things to purposely hurt him; she was not just thinking of herself. Hamlet was acting violently towards his mother because of the pleasures she enjoys. He is disgusted with her
Hamlet and Ophelia play a very nice contrast to each other and one without the other wouldn’t have been as interesting. You have Hamlet feigning madness as he tries to kill King Claudius and you have Ophelia who was given too much to deal with and was driven mad. Two completely different motives and reasons but both have the same outcome – death. Hamlet was pretending to be mad for a couple different reasons. Hamlet needs a way to hide his new suspicions of Claudius while he first, tries to see
In Hamlet, there is an issue of false and phony actions and feelings happening over a tragedy that has occurred. Hamlet, the main character, acts crazy to fulfill his duty and seek revenge for a tragedy that occurred. The story goes off of how Hamlet acts insane and how that acting insane completes him getting his revenge.

There is tons evidence in the play that caused Hamlet to be insane. was Hamlet’s insanity real or was it fake ? Maybe Hamlet made it look real in order to carry out his plan. In order to do so He would have had to keep the king wandering by deliberately acting out to make it seem as if he was insane. The fact is Hamlet made his insanity appear to be real just goes to
