How Does Hamlet Conflict Throughout The Play

Classic war between passion and responsibility Hamlet, an intelligent person with tragic flaws, finds himself torn between the enthralling task of avenging his murdered father, accepting the fact that his mother has gotten married to his uncle in a short period of time, opposing the act of treason and misery his mother obtained herself to, and maintaining his love for Ophelia. Hamlet quickly abandons his responsibilities as a prince and to be a loving, considering man and becomes obsessed with achieving perfect revenge; ultimately, this conflict facilitates Hamlet’s demise. His actions reflect toward the entire family, which contributes to the meaning of his madness and insanity. Throughout the play we notice Hamlet calling
Hamlet is amazed and asks exactly how the ghost looked and what it did. After listening to Horatio, Hamlet believes that he was telling him the truth and decides to declare that he will come to see it this very night. He pleads the men not to tell anyone else about what they’ve seen. Hamlet meets the ghost of his father. After his appearance, Hamlet feels obliged to fulfill his father’s request: to avenge his suspicious death and reveal Claudius’ heinous crime. In (Act I, Scene iv) The ghost says: “Now, Hamlet, hear: Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, a serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark is by a forged process of my death Rankly abused: but know, thou noble youth, the serpent that did sting thy father’s life now wears his crown.” In this speech the ghost reveals to Hamlet that he was murdered by his brother. He alludes to the Bible and the Garden of Eden and how Eve was persuaded to eat the apple and violated God’s rules, and his brother did the same, his love for power and desire to take over king Hamlet’s throne and wife made him blind and led him to committing this terrible crime. After this speech with the ghost, Hamlet is convinced that he must take revenge for his father’s death, but part of him is also worried that this ghost is a demon
He causes many deaths along the play. We notice him making the wrong decisions; for instance, he has the chance to kill Claudius and he could have used this opportunity, but he didn’t want him to go to heaven so he decided to stop. His madness makes him kill Polonius, then his craziness lead Ophelia to her madness as well. He is the one to blame for her death, as well as her father’s death and Laertes pain. He is sent by the king to England to be murdered, however he is able to escape. He switches the letters that contain orders of killing him with another one, which results in the death of the two messengers-Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The alliance of Claudius and Laertes form the concrete decision of killing hamlet. The plan consists of stabbing him with a poisoned sword during the duel, and if the plan is to fail, they will give him a poisoned drink as a backup plan. He refuses to take the drink, therefore the queen ends up drinking it. Claudius warns her not to do so, but she figures that he had slipped something in it so she sacrifices her life for her son and ends up dying of the poison. Laertes sneaks a moment and stabs Hamlet in the neck with the poisonous sword. Hamlet realizes that his mother is dying and he forces Claudius to drink the poison and he finally kills him.
