hamlet

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the protagonist of the story Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, gives a soliloquy, expressing his deepest emotions through grieving, anger and resentment of his own mere existence. The universe is both an intricate and unique creature; built with a suitable and decent amount of its ups and downs of fortune. Prince Hamlet is conflicted and dazed upon the overall position he has come to in his life, mourning for his royal father's death, King Hamlet, and unable to bear the deception and betrayal of his mother’s hasty marriage.

In the first nine lines of Hamlet’s soliloquy, Hamlet expresses his inward and innermost thoughts, believing that the only key to his end his agony and misery is by suicide. He wishes “that this too solid flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew!” indicating he sees no point in his existence. He wishes that God “or that the Everlasting had not fix’d, his canon ‘gainst self-slaughter”. Hamlet saw the qualities of life as “weary, stale, flat and unprofitable”, ultimately useless to live in. He also compared the whole world to an unweeded garden, that grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature”, astonished and skeptic upon what it has become.

Hamlet then addresses two of his internal and family related issues, mourning for his deceased royal father and the displeasing and abhorrent fact that his mother could dare to marry so hastily. It was only “two months dead: nay, not so much, not two”, the thrown went from an “excellent king” to a new king, clearly unworthy of Hamlet’s blessing being compared to a “Hyperion to a satyr”. Hamlet so loved to his mother that he would not “beteem” or permit even the winds of heaven to hit her face too roughly, both “heaven and earth!” His mother cherished and adored Hamlet’s royal father, “hanging on him, as if increase of appetite had grown by what it fed on”. And yet, within a month she showed her true frailty and feebleness for “thy name is woman!” Even
