Examples Of Eulogy Of Hamlet
King Fortinbras, my peers, my friends… This day is not a day which brings happiness, it is not a day which warms the heart. We gather here today in the finest of Elsinore’s cathedrals, and the finest of company to remember Hamlet. The very name conveys so much to many… Hamlet was honourable, loyal, respectful… And he will be remembered as a prince, a scholar, a crusader. But above all, he was a friend. And what a friend he was. I was just 10 when I first attended Wittenberg, it was an abiding place, one that I will never fail to recall in all the remaining time I am graced to live. Never in my life has a place shaped me more. It was here, at Wittenberg that this quiet boy, one who didn’t make himself known a lot, but when he did, his voice was fierce and unapologetic. This young boy was a mystery to many, he was always busy, he never slowed, and was often alone.

When I was finally told exactly who this friend of mine was and what he was hiding, I realised just how humble and noble my friend was.
Hamlet became for so many, a North star, their guide.
He was the light that guided us by night and the spirit that guided us by day. Hamlet was brave. The purest of hearts did he have. ‘Twas as clear the nightingales call through the halls of our palace. With such purity, Hamlet experience the full breadth of the human condition.
When tragedy struck and Denmark lost the noble King Hamlet and natural order was lost, the weight of this nations sorrow and expectation were thrust upon our prince’s shoulders. But Hamlet did not cower under such grave responsibility. He did not ignore the injustice that was before us all.
All the while Hamlet never acted rashly for he was ever-mindful of the weight of his choices. Never did he act without immeasurable forethought for the consequences of his actions to himself and above all, others. And he never overstepped his morals. Throughout the past few weeks Hamlet remained loyal to himself and to his country and he acted honourably to restore natural order to Denmark. Hamlet was a friend that challenged others to be better, to be more loyal and to not give up the
fight.
Hamlet’s devotion to this great nation was immense, he did everything and anything he could to better the country. He took much on his own shoulders, carrying the weight of others’ dishonourable actions with him. Like a shining beacon of light in the black darkness, Hamlet was a guide to us all. We need not worry about him, a light that shines as bright as he did does not go gently. His light will shine on, like the north star guiding us through the treacherous, troubled waters ahead. Hamlet’s fundamental belief, that better is possible, never came from a textbook. It grew from his deep love for and faith in all Danes and over the past few days, with every letter, every rose, every tear, every wave and ever pirouette, you returned his love.
We have all gathered here today, united in grief, to say goodbye. But this is not the end. Hamlet was an honourable prince; he did things that were not expected of him. When Denmark’s natural order was under threat, he was the first one there to clear the waters. It often came down to him to remind us what we are all capable of.
But he won’t be here anymore. It’s up to us.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. He has kept his promises and earned his sleep.
Goodbye Hamlet.
