Shakspere (wrong spelling) created Hamlet--a man with wisdom and courage .In order to revenge on his uncle for killing his father, he pretented (spelling mistake) to be mad and suffered a series of misery. On the contrary, we can also say that Hamlet is rude and selfish for he did not think twice before his revenge . if (Capitalize "If" since it is the beginning word of the sentence.) a country has no king, how can a country keep alive (You need a question mark here since it is a question.) So, every thing has two sides, the bright side and adumbral side. Every time we make a decision we have to think twice.
Comment:
Be careful with your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Too many uncessary mistakes.
It is good that you looked at both the dark and bright sides of Hamlet. Thats quite objective and convincing.
The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, or more simply Hamlet, is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness—from overwhelming grief to seething rage—and explores themes of treachery, revenge, in-ce-st, and moral corruption.
Despite much literary detective work, the exact year of writing remains in dispute. Three different early versions of the play have survived: these are known as the First Quarto (Q1), the Second Quarto (Q2) and the First Folio (F1). Each has lines, and even scenes, that are missing from the others. Shakespeare probably based Hamlet on the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum and subsequently retold by 16th-century scholar Franois de Belleforest, and a supposedly lost Elizabethan play known today as the Ur-Hamlet.
Given the play's dramatic structure and depth of characterization, Hamlet can be analyzed, interpreted and argued about from many perspectives. For example, scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires, and feminist critics have re-evaluated and rehabilitated the often maligned characters of Ophelia and Gertrude.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and among the most powerful and influential tragedies in the English language. It provides a storyline capable of "seemingly endleretelling and adaptation by others". During Shakespeare's lifetime, the play was one of his most popular works, and it still ranks high among his most-performed, topping, for example, the Royal Shakespeare Company's list since 1879. It has inspired writers from Goethe and Dickens to Joyce and Murdoch and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after Cinderella". The title role was almost certainly created for Richard Burbage, the leading tragedian of Shakespeare's time. In the four hundred years since, it has been played by highly acclaimed actors, and sometimes actresses, of each successive age.
" Hamlet " of Shakespear is a classical representative work. This book certainly does not have the big difference in the superficial plot with the historical fable, spoke or the Danish prince the story which revenged for the father, in which fills the rank smell of blood violence and dies.Just like the dramatis personae Horatio said: " you may hear to to rape massacre, the unusual repair behavior, the dark center decision, accidental slaughter, borrows the hand murder , as well as falls into suicide result." Windingly elects the plot, tightly centers on the revenge to launch. Hamlet Wittenberg hurries back the home in a hurry from Germany, is attends his father's funeral, enables him to accept, he not catches up with father's funeral, actually witnessed the mother and the Uncle Claudius' wedding ceremony, this had caused Hamm the Wright suspicion at the heart, added night above meets in the royal palace castle with father's ghost, the ghost sorrow sued, this pile atrocity was Uncle Hamlet the behavior, and wanted him to revenge for the father.To this, he started the difficult revenge course, launched the life and death contest with Claudius. Finally, sent out sword the revenge to Claudius.
Hamlet is a man with contradictory,he had many chances to kill Claudius,but he hesitated,which reflects the religious thought poisons.
哈姆雷特,一个生在戏剧里,又活在生活里,人性中的人物。他是具有人文主义典型性的象征,是一个经历痛苦后忧郁寡欢的人,是一个心怀昂扬热血激情却又犹豫不决的人,矛盾是他的集中体现,思考和独白是他的表达,他用他特有的方式演绎着自我,演绎着这个王子的悲剧。
对于自我的剖析,你总能在哈姆雷特的身上寻找到蛛丝马迹。无论是关于生死意义的探寻,还是自我追求的抉择,哈姆雷特都独到的展现了人的发展的矛盾。哈姆雷特的形象的设计就是这么神奇,一千个不同的读者眼里,便有着一千个不同的哈姆雷特的形象的体悟。
他是丹麦的王子,所以他肩负着维护国家安定繁荣的义务;他是慈祥的父亲的儿子,所以他必须肩负为父报仇的责任。压抑使他踯躅、犹豫、不断地深思、不断地自言,他总是一个人,朋友的背叛,爱人的失去,母亲的改嫁,一切都离他越来越远,他孤独的行走在一条复仇之路上。这样,他也只能更加抑郁,更加癫狂。原本的只是为了欺瞒叔叔而装疯,却早已不知不觉陷入了其中,就像面具戴久了,就会忘记面具之下的自己似的。曾经那个感叹世界是“负载万物的大地,是一座美好的框架,覆盖众生的苍穹,是一顶壮丽的帐篷,是金黄色的火球点缀着的庄严的屋宇”,感叹人类是“宇宙的精华,万物的灵长”,渐渐的在现实的改变中改变了。他对世界失去了信心,他眼里的世界,“只是一个不毛的荒岬,只是一堆污浊的瘴气的集合”。人类不能使他发生兴趣,女人亦然。在哈姆雷特的身上,有人看到了不幸之后多思多虑、多愁善感的人,有人看到了生命微弱的光,有人感受到消沉如疾病难以摆脱的痛苦,亦有人看到过于犹豫而使行动迟缓的自己。哈姆雷特身上集聚了人性的复杂,演绎的人最本真的情绪。莎士比亚用他最擅长的情感的描绘和心理的刻画来展现哈姆雷特,造就了这个世界著名的悲剧之作。
人文主义是莎士比亚在这部戏剧中极力展示的,主人公哈姆雷特的忧虑的背后,流露着对理性、秩序和新的道德理想和社会理想的渴望。他是现实主义与浪漫主义的结合。丰富多彩的语言,性格分明的人物,使之不愧于莎士比亚悲剧的第一部。
第一次阅读《哈姆雷特》这部世界文学巨著,约估摸是在小学五年级的时候。父亲学外语出身、很喜欢外国文学名著,又对我管教极严,规定了阅读书目,当时就选择了这本书。现在重新拾卷,想到《王子复仇记》书籍本身讲述的就是王子为父报仇的历程,而身为读者的自己又是在父亲的启发下接触此书的,于是,在翻开书本时,不禁为这种奇妙的偶然而产生一种近乎“百感交集”的感受。
《哈姆雷特》是文艺复兴时期英国著名剧作家莎士比亚创作的四大悲剧之一,故事发生的时间、地点是在中世纪的北欧国家丹麦,故事的主人公是丹麦王子哈姆雷特,剧中人物也以丹麦王室和大臣及其家庭成员为主,讲述了王子哈姆雷特为父报仇的艰辛历程。
作品的开篇地点是厄尔锡诺的城堡露台,借士兵和哈姆雷特挚友霍拉旭之口讲出了举国戒备的原因——先王与挪威王依决斗获胜而获得土地,挪威王之子急于为父报仇、招兵买马,引发丹挪两国争端以致战争阴云密布,为丹麦先王鬼魂出现的原因——“前世***未尽”做了交代,鬼魂也随之出现,游走在城堡露台。与孤独的先王形成对比的是,先王的弟弟克劳狄斯在继承王位后迎娶了哈姆雷特的母亲、王后葛特露,举国欢庆新王大婚的盛景掩盖了先王逝世的悲痛。新婚之夜的宴会上,只有哈姆雷特一个人郁郁寡欢,为母亲的迅速改嫁而不满,“短短的一个月以前她还哭得像个泪人似的……她就改嫁给了我的叔父……”幽怨的情感溢于言辞之中。新王面对哈姆雷特的愁容,说出了“你是王位的直接继承者……我要给你尊荣与恩宠…”之类的话来安慰他,但无济于事。新王怀着对篡位的深深不安对哈姆雷特给予王位传承的许诺,妄图以此赢取哈姆雷特的忠诚,但实际对王子有着极大的担忧。而哈姆雷特对自己叔父的评价中也可以看出,对于功绩、德行远不如父亲并占有自己母亲的叔父,王子本人是及其蔑视和鄙夷的,这些情感中似乎也包含着对叔父取得王位合法性的某种怀疑。
在得知父亲鬼魂出现的消息后,哈姆雷特迫不及待的前往露台查证。果然遇见了鬼魂,而此前一直沉默的鬼魂的开了口:“必须替我报仇。”鬼魂向哈姆雷特讲述了先王遭到自己兄弟阴谋谋害、夺取王位和霸占爱人的可怕真相,悲剧就此埋下祸根。哈姆雷特心中的疑问得到了证实,复仇之路由此开始。
Were one to have the profound hatred, were one to avenge and harm his family who seems too far to harm, he would be either a hero or a monster. Should he fight the unbeatable foe and right the wrong, should he bear with unbearable sorrow, should he ruin himself in twisted enthusiasm, he would be Hamlet.
Among all the masterpieces of William Shakespeare, “Hamlet”, undoubtedly is worshipped and as one of the most successful and admired tragedies, while the character Hamlet remains one of the most loved dramatis personas in all-time history of literature.
To have read Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” by the age of 16, I was moved to tears, while having no empathy with his another great one “Tempest”。 Presumably when I get 60 or older, I could be wise enough to understand the latter, but find it nothing worthwhile to go over the former one, where lays a romantic story that the only youngsters are addicted to. But it's a fact that whenever in our lifetime after gaining such experiences as getting through hard times, or, finding a real self, from “Hamlet”, we always find something that we consider as perpetuation, which is worth deep thoughts. This is because it highlights Hamlet's choices of life, choices made under certain circumstances of history and society, requested by the fate extraordinary to Hamlet himself, but ordinary to mankind. That is, to some extent, his experiences make a similar one to ours and, his destiny is something we're facing sometime in our own lives.
We're possibly the same. We explore the truth in the dark. We discover facts from the mist. We lose ourselves in determinations. We trespass on which we're forbid to be, hesitates at love and hatred, and struggle to rebuild system of values and spiritual prop in a world without standards and scales of standards.
Hamlet couldn't have been perfect. He is very much a person motivated by irrational enthusiasm, impetuous enough to kill Polonius only to find it's a mistake as the victim is not the king. But somehow it is for his poor enthusiasm, his weakness of humanity, that Hamlet touches countless readers, as everyone makes out himself from the ill-fated prince.
Hamlet's “revenge” isn't so much simply the killing of Claudius, as it is the purging of all the rottenness in the Danish court. And although it costs him his life, he succeeds.
At some time, we all consider how much wrong there is in the world. “Hamlet” gives us a chance to watch an ordinary person consciously choose to say “No!” to the world's wrongness and falsities, and to strike back with power. William Shakespeare held up the mirror to something in us that is precious.
I hear Hamlet thinking, “Too many people waste too much effort doing things that are not worthwhile. It's a bad world, and I am far from a perfect human being. We all end up dead in the end. So I am going to do something worthwhile, and do it right.”
I hear him wondering, “What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time. Is but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more.”
I hear him whispering “To be, or not to be, aye, there's the point. To die, to sleep, is that all? Aye, all.”
That makes a hero to me, regardless of his blindness and madness which haunt everyone for a while in his time. Thousands of readers may have thousands of their own Hamlet, but there's something that stays the same, that Hamlet dares to run, where the brave dare not go. That's his quest.
Thinks about it.
