Theme Of Loneliness In Hamlet
Hamlet as we all know is a young man who has lost his father and is looking to seek revenge. One can say a dancer is much like hamlet in a way. They are both looking lost and lonely looking for a way to express their emotions. Loneliness can be caused by so many things. Hamlet doesn't necessarily come out and say that he is lonely but the audience can point it out by the events that have occurred in his life. “If you marry, I'll give you a curse as a present…” (act3,1,136-137). Hamlet has gone crazy because he has no one. A dancer, almost identical to hamlet, is very lonely in their own world which creates this beautiful dance. Once they set foot on that stage foot on that stage you can learn a fair amount of their thoughts through
her body language. “The movement has aesthetic and symbolic value…” (dance). Hamlet has a different way of expressing his thoughts and feelings he expresses them through actions and the way he treats others. When someone is feeling lonely it is usually easy to spot. “To die, to sleep, perchance to dream… for in that sleep of death” (act 3,1,66-68). This helps understand that hamlet would rather die than live because he has no one to talk to or no one that is there for him. In a way a dancer is the same because they may have that feeling and just show us through a performance. A dancer gets lost in the music and feels every word, hamlet gets lost in his thoughts and acts on it. Hamlet and a dancer are the same but different. They have the same feelings but different ways of coping. Being lonely is easier when you have a way of coping with it. I am a dancer myself and I tend to get lost in the music I cope with my loneliness by dancing it off. Not just me but many other dancers express their emotions through dance. Dance is a huge part of today's world. We dancers run to dance when we are lonely it helps us relieve some of that lonely feeling. Hamlet and others of today's world take their loneliness out on others. We all have different ways of coping but in the end it's all the same because we all feel that same thing which is the feeling of being alone.
