    passions in both positive and negative ways. I believe that Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a play based fully around the tragedy of not only the key character Hamlet‚ but also other characters with a lower status such as: Ophelia; Hamlet’s love interest‚ Gertrude; Hamlet’s grief driven mother‚ and Laertes; Ophelia’s exceedingly noble brother.

Hamlet’s ability to form coherent thoughts and his clear use of diction express his sanity; the weight of avenging his father’s death and
