Hamlet supports a large array of themes‚ but I feel that the most prominent theme‚ by far‚ must be that of Appearance vs Reality. Shakespeare’s work‚ very much open to interpretation of the individual reader‚ makes the question of the central theme one that proves difficult to choose but simple to support no matter the decision. The play‚ filled with problems and questions answered with yeses or noes or anywhere in-between‚ creates a large area for discussion and person identification. Whether the

which Hamlet’s mind is in; is he continuing to feign insanity to avenge his fallen father and defend his own honour or has he immersed himself entirely to the pursuit of vengeance that he reaches the point of no return. The reoccurring theme of appearance versus reality may (initially) appear to prove the former‚ but it becomes apparent as the play progresses that it induces unhealthy responses to his spirit and

One of the most fascinating ways in which Shakespeare explores the theme of appearance and reality is through the characters of the witches. The witches bring with them confusion‚ which infects the natural order. Night becomes day. Duncan’s horses eat each other‚ Fair is foul‚ and foul is fair.

The quote
