Hamlet's Wave of Emotions “Hamlet” the play by William Shakespeare introduces the character of Hamlet who is the main focus of the play. Hamlet recently lost his father and his mother quickly remarried his uncle Claudius. Which leads Hamlet to believe that something fishy is going on between his parents. This becomes Hamlet's main thread throughout the play, allowing him to seek the truth about what happened to his father. Whether his father was killed naturally or by Claude himself. This search for the truth of Hamlet is what leads him down the path of revenge and changes his attitude from what he was to a vengeful spirit. Over the course of the play, Hamlet experiences a loss of control over himself, which forces him to suffer the consequences of his actions. From Act I onwards, Hamlet's emotions and level of control are at a normal level, even after the recent death of his father. Although with the death of his father it is reasonable to experience the five stages of grief, when it comes to Hamlet, the death of his father does not hit him until the recent sighting of his father's ghost. father. At the beginning, he approaches the subject head-on and logically, thinking that Bernardo, Horatio and Marcellus are driving us crazy and seeing things. But as they try to convince him of what they saw, Hamlet tries to get to the heart of this situation and clarify everything, thus showing the control he has in handling these strange situations. It is only at the end of Act I that Hamlet's control begins to weaken as the ghost spoke to him, brought him closer to the death of his father. This is where Hamlet's emotions get the better of him and he allowed himself to feel, allowed himself to get closer and closer personally to the situation at hand. The ghost now has a slight advantage in Hamlet ... middle of paper ... around him. Once Hamlet lost control, there was no way to break free from his obsession and this became his downfall. The obsession came from the emotions of grief and anger, and when he didn't have control, they were lost in the obsession. Driving Hamlet mad because obsession became his central goal, allowing obsession to become what killed him. The consequence of his loss was actually his death due to his emotions. There was no other way Hamlet could see that would allow him to live with what he had done and be okay with it. In the end, the only logical thing he could do was fight until he died. Due to his mindset, the only thing he had control over was revenge and once that was over, all he had to do was leave his mark and focus his final moments on avenging his father.
