Our prince Hamlet becomes doubtful after the disaster of his family.He dares not to believe others any more.he did not trust his friends Marcellus and Horatio.One the other hand, Hamlet does not believe what the ghost says.He plans a play to prove whether the ghost is good or not.Here is what Hamlet says: “observe my uncle.If his occulted guilt do not itself unkennel in one speech, it is a damage ghost that we have seen” (Act 3 Scene 2 Line 80 to 82).
他是否生性就如此多疑？？还是真的生逢变故才会如此
Hamlet also becomes cruel and rude.
1 at the queen’s house, hamlet thinks the person who was behind the curtain is Claudius, and then he kills him.But when he finds it is Polonius, he doesn’t fell sorry about his death.He even say; “thou wretched rash, intruding fool, farewell, I took thee for thy better.Take thy fortune: thou find’st to be too busy is some danger” (Act 3 Scene 4 Line 32 to 34).对ophelia及其父兄都是很无礼
2, he treats the queen cruelly.“That blurs the grace and blush of modesty…proclaim no shame when the compulsive ardour gives the charge, since frost itself as actively doth burn and reason panders will…in the ran sweet of an enseamed bed , stew’d in corruption, honeying and making love over the nasty sty! ” (Act3 Scene 4 Line 41 to 94).His words are so cruel to his mother.He says what he wants to say and doesn’t pay any attention to his mother’s feeling.母子感情好像很单薄，原因？王后与先王感情又如何？只知道先王对王后很好，风都不舍得吹着她p22
3, his actions to Ophelia are so rude.“Lady, shall I lie n your lap/ no my lord… that’s fair thought to lie between maids’ legs” (Act 3 Scene 2 Line 110 to 117).
Hamlet thinks too much and is hesitate.When Claudius is praying, it’s a chance for hamlet to kill him.However, Hamlet doesn’t want to send Claudius to the heaven.He gives up this chance, them Hamlet becomes a tragedy.“Now might I so it pats, now’a is a-praying and now I’ll do it …this physic but prolongs thy sickly days.” (Act 3 Scene 4 Line 72 to96).
Besides, our prince is very brave.When he has the first dating with the ghost, he shouts loudly to his friends: “by heaven, I’ll make a ghost of him that lets me.I say, away.” (Act 1 Scene 4 Line 85 to 86).
In a word, his suffering changes his characteristic
from a gentle prince to a smart, doubtful, cruel and rude man.
He should have revenge, for the throne, for his father & mother.However, he also thinks that if he revenges for those, he will be the same as his uncle, a person who is full of evil ideas.Then he delayed his revenge, and his inner is full of contradictions of revenge.
Two reasons of his delay.1.in order to grasp the throne, his uncle had to get rid of hamlet, the heart of suffering, for consolidating his political power.He also planted the spies around hamlet to monitor his words and behaviors.In this case, H had to postpone his revenge plane and his hesitation was showed.2.H knew the difficult task of his revenge.He not only wanted to revenge his father, but also he wanted to reverse the tide.Faced with these dual tasks, he wanted to take actions but did not know how to act.
He is a thinker not a doer.
The reasons for H’s depreion1.h’s ideals have been shattered after he came back Denmark.He became depreed.He is a humanist, a man
who is free from medieval prejudices and superstitions.He is a play writer or a scholar, think or writes love friendship and some other beautiful things; he has an unbounded love for the world instead of the heaven.The world for him is “this goodly frame the earth, this most excellent canopy the air, the brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire.” as a humanist, he cherishes a profound reverence for man, and a firm belief In man’s power and destiny: “what a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how expre and admirable! In action how like an angle! In apprehension how like a god！” such a delight in nature and man is characteristic of humanists of the renaiance.2.The next leading reason for his melancholy character is deserted.Once he loved god and hated evil.He adored his father, loved Ophelia and greeted his school-fellows with hearty welcome.When he knows that his father was died and mother takes new husband.His uncle even usurped the throne.不再相信亲情友情与爱情，三观全被推翻了，整个人生都崩塌了。彻底郁闷了.
