HAMLET - William Shakespeare
my old post
I served as the basis for this review.
Synopsis:
Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts the story how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge the death of his father Hamlet, King, running his uncle Claudius, who poisoned him and then took the throne by marrying Hamlet's mother. The play draws a map of the course of life in the real madness and feigned madness - from overwhelming grief to anger earnest - and explores themes of betrayal, revenge, incest, corruption Aoe morality.
My review:
Shakespeare is one of my favorite authors. His plays are the best of all times and ranks among the most dense and monumental masterpieces of world literature as well as being timeless and universal. Shake created some of the most complex and contradictory characters of literature, all too human, full of qualities and defects, certainties and doubts, anxieties and passions - indeed, he portrayed intensely overlap the passions over reason. Hamlet, his most complex and debated character, is a unique psychological character of amplitude and raised heated debates about the eternal and his madness (really simulated or real?), their limits of transient anti-hero hero (which makes the man simply and multiply, etc.).
Incidentally, the phrase most comprehensive of world literature may be "To be or not to be: that is the question," a sentence that includes in itself all the contradictions es, choices and human complexity. A peculiar feature in the Shakespearean works - I've read Hamlet, King Lear and
Othello - is probing the overwhelming influence of persuasive communication in the process of handling a human being by another, urging him to error and thus earning bounties, deeply desired goals. A psychological process that involves using up weaknesses, desires and more visceral suspicion of the same. The ghost of Hamlet's father instigated him to revenge, Iago encourages Othello to kill his wife, Desdemona, in order to ruin his life.
But here the doubt on the veracity of the madness of Hamlet is the fact that the ghost may be a delusional projection of visceral desire for revenge from him, and not really a ghost in the literal sense and embracing the supernatural. Hence, the question arises: he knew that Claudius was the murderer - or strongly suspected - and just "created" the father figure alémtúmulo to confirm himself the right to avenge there? This study focuses entãoa honor relationship father-son and, consequently, a child who is haunted by the father figure (Hamlet could have relations conflicting with his father, and served as an opportunity to revenge their honor unsullied, resolved with the figure of the father, etc.). Nor can we forget the fact that Hamlet is in doubt clash cruel to avenge his father's death or not, if suicide is preferable to having to face a fate destined to kill - or die. So enters the delicate relationship Oedipal - or better to say essentially Shakespearean? Hamlet loves his mother more than you should, and feel guilty about it. Kill the usurper uncle, who committed a "crime" that he would commit, in order to marry the wife of another, would be a way to greatly surrender himself, or deny the aspirations "vis" his mind "unpolluted" - certain mistake! It's all so complex in Shakespeare, to elicit much debate. Revenge is the core part, the facts revolving around them, but say that number is only about vengeance is contradictory and even paradoxical, bearing in mind the unique complexity of the work Shakespeare.
Hamlet speaks not only of revenge, but also other aspects of timeless nature, some inherent to humanity: parent-child relationships, parent-child, involving the rights and responsibilities that entails, and honor their delicate implications; suicide; real madness madness simulated x, x predestinaçãoe fatalism resulting consequences of our actions, life alémtú mule; power relationships and seduction he holds, because x paixãoe instincts - including the overlap of the passions to reason, so common in the human psyche, which leads man to the tragedy . Moreover, it is easy to foresee that a major key to understanding - and to interpret and infer - the work of Shakespeare, particularly Hamlet , is the duality / ambiguity. It is to be or not, my dear!
And as Horace would say ominously (or was it Hamlet said that?) "There are more things in céuea land than our vain philosophy supposes." It was the favorite Shakespearean quote of Machadinho.
In the works of Shakespeare, the characters are constantly manipulated and manipulative, especially within the affective and familiar relationships. Occasionally these two "functions", manipulator and manipulated, confused. Prince Hamlet is driven by the ghost of his father's revenge on behalf of her murder, culminating not only in the murder of Claudius - the killer of his father and Danish usurper of the throne - but in other deaths, instigated by Iago is Othello to kill his wife Desdemona, the villain handled mainly through its insanely jealous, Lady Macbeth urges her husband to commit regicide, etc.. It is intriguing to note that this peculiarity of Shakespeare assigns to them a character metadramático: scenarios are inside a big show, the play within the play , tragic or tragicomic stage of life - and this is intensified in nuance
Hamlet, which is actually staged a number of Prince Hamlet in order to "curtail" the spirits and self confidence , that of Claudius, making him feel cornered and about to be discovered. Yet the circle of this tragedy in such works, fatalistic content, reinforce the interpretation of many critics and readers who imagine Shakespeare as a firm believer in the theory of divine character prederteminismo , in predestination. But then, in such plays as Hamlet himself
, there is dense and caught up debating monologues and dialogues about the veracity of astrological influences and / or divine? There are still many unknowns about Shakespeare, his views and beliefs, and especially about its most celebrated and enigmatic character, Hamlet.
