Manic Behavior in Hamlet
Manic Behavior in Hamlet
In the play The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, it preformed the essential need of Hamlet, the protagonist and his ambiguity about the murder of his uncle Claudius, the new King. The essential revenge was something that was absolutely necessary that Hamlet should have done. Claudius, King Hamlet’s brother, murdered King Hamlet, Hamlet’s father. Hamlet’s ambiguity came in when he was not sure if he should kill Claudius or not, because he was scared of getting caught and being punished. Essential ambiguity preformed nicely in the play The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, it showed the way of how Hamlet acted when problems came about, his maturity of dealing with his own problems, and thing that was needed to be done but he gave up because he was not sure. Hamlet’s uncertainty towards his problem was a disgrace to his father King Hamlet. In the play many examples have been set based on essential ambiguity, the thought of a character, an action of a character, and a phase that was said by a character.
For the nature of Polonius, he was a greedy, selfish, and a mouthy man. He did not care much about his daughter nor anything else expect for himself. The only reason for his living was to try to please the king and queen. If he does what he was told then he will retreat rewards from them both. Right after when he found out the problem in between Hamlet and Ophelia his daughter, he rapidly wanted to report the incident to the king and queen because they where looking for the cause of Hamlet’s madness at the time being. Hamlet and Ophelia were in love, but Polonius stopped them from seeing each other because he thought Hamlet would not want Ophelia as his wife. “Come, go with me. I will go seek the king. This is the very ecstasy of love, Whose violent property for does itself, And leads the will to desperate undertakings...” (Hamlet Act II Scene i, line 101) Without ignorant characters such as Polonius in the play, the king and queen would not have been on watch of Hamlet’s every step. For Polonius, to please the king and queen was the essential ambiguity of his life.
