Hamlet’s Psychological State and Its Contribution to His Actions (5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )

This is a 5 page paper discussing the psychological state of Hamlet at the beginning of the play and how this may have lead to some of his actions. William Shakespeare’s Hamlet in Hamlet, Prince of Denmark undergoes a great many psychological transitions throughout the play. While Hamlet eventually falls into madness and acts out his revenge, he begins the play in a state of depression over the death of his father and anger over the early remarriage of his mother to his uncle. When he returns to Denmark he is experiencing various aspects of grief, sadness and classic melancholy which are for him personal in nature and which he might have eventually overcome if not for the additional traumatic shock of seeing his father’s ghost and finding out that he was murdered by his uncle. At this point, already psychologically venerable in a state of depression, Hamlet’s mental state becomes one of irritability, disjointed thought, and impulsiveness which lead to his further state of despair, revenge and eventually being responsible for five deaths of which he seemingly had no self control.

Hamlet and Oedipus (7 Pages, 83.65 $ (USD) )

The first interpretation of Hamlet as a young man in the grip of an Oedipus complex as outlined by Sigmund Freud was probably Ernest Jones' 1910 article Hamlet and Oedipus. Since then, a number of film and theatrical presentations have included this concept in their own interpretation of the great Shakespearean play, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The psychological pressure that Hamlet is expected to confront and integrate is interfered with at a critical point in his development. Rather than making the adjustment to the adult stage where the sexual connotations of his parent's relationship can be synthesized so that his own feelings of jealousy and rage are expunged and the Father figure develops beyond idealization, his father dies. He is then placed in a situation where the definitions of his own unconscious incest is in conflict with the apparent incest between his mother and a new father figure. He is subsequently, and tragically, stuck in the Oedipal stage and is unable to negotiate the intellectual processing necessary to come to a healthy conclusion. This 7 page paper explores the myth of Oedipus, the interpretation of the myth by Freud and the appropriateness of the theory that Hamlet was suffering from a classic Freudian Oedipal complex.

Hamlet/Theme of Revenge (5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )

A 5 page essay that analyzes what propels Hamlet to action. The writer argues that it is far harder to coldly and rationally enact revenge after the fact than when a misdeed first occurs and the blood runs hot to seek justice, regardless of the consequences. For Hamlet, however, "outrageous fortune" has conspired to present him with the task of revenge, but within a context when Hamlet is well aware of all consequences and does not have the heat of passion to help him with his task. The fact that Hamlet is quagmired in doubt and self-reflection throughout most of the play, and acts only when circumstances ignite his emotions suggests that Shakespeare intended the audience to perceive violence as something that requires an emotional response from a good man.

Critical Analysis of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” (7 Pages, 83.65 $ (USD) )

This is a 7 page critical analysis of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”. William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” (1601) is considered one of his most popular, psychologically driven and dark tragedies. An analysis of the elements within the play show that Hamlet as the central and pivotal character reveals his inner most thoughts as he contemplates his situation, the events and purposes of those around him and the true metaphysical meaning of his life and the lives of others. The play is basically formatted as a “revenge tragedy” but readers and audiences soon come to realize that Shakespeare upon writing this play provided psychological and philosophical questions which remain consistently important to this day. Through themes of revenge, madness, incest, love, corruption and power, Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” becomes more than a play but becomes an examination of mankind and his will to act. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
