Shakespeare thoroughly brings out Hamlet’s feelings with his manipulation of diction devices. In line 136, Hamlet says the hyphenated word used as an adjective “self-slaughter”, referring to the fact that he wishes God had not made it a sin (suicide). He continues on, speaking religious words such as “God” (136, 154) and “Heaven” (145, 146) to continue explaining that he feels as if suicide seems like the best way to get out of life in a cruel world, but Hamlet feels that he cannot go about doing this because of religion. The repetition of the word “month” (142, 149, 151, 158) is caused by Hamlet wishing to reiterate how short of a time it was from the time of his father’s death until his mother’s remarriage to Claudius. Lastly, in line 137, Hamlet employs the emotion-laden words “weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable” to yet again bring about his thoughts of suicide and say that this is how the world is -- gloomy.
“Thou poor ghost.” (I, v, 97) Hamlet pities his father, as he was murdered and was not given the chance to pray. This conjures frightening thoughts in his mind, for if he were to be murdered as well, would he be sent to burn in purgatory? Towards the middle of the play, though Hamlet’s thoughts still point towards suicide, he begins to toy with the possibilities of what death could be like. “To die, to sleep; … perchance to dream.” (III, i, 60-65) He may find some comfort in death if death
The main causes of Romeo and Juliet’s death are the friar, their own emotions, and their feuding families. Friar Laurence and his lack of communication play a large role in the suicide of Romeo and Juliet. The friar told the messenger that couldn’t send the letter that, “The letter was not nice, but full of charge / Of dear import; and the neglecting it / may do much danger” (5.2.18-20). The friar was too slow in sending the letter of his plan to Romeo, who
Due to his indecisiveness on making key decisions, Hamlet suffers from the tragic flaw of procrastination. Hamlet procrastinated with his revenge of his father’s death, prioritizing his love for Ophelia, and his decisions on deciding to make the kill. Hamlet was procrastinating with his revenge of his father’s death because he was too indecisive on when and how he was going to do it also whether or not the ghost was right. Prioritizing his love for Ophelia, Hamlet did not show his love to Ophelia until she was just a cold, dead corpse being put 6 feet under. Finally Hamlet had the perfect opportunity to get his revenge and yet again his indecisiveness is getting the best of him.
Hamlet begins by contemplating suicide, questioning the metaphysics of the after-life, later proclaiming that death is the greatest equalizer and then realizes one cannot escape their inevitable fate. In the beginning of the play, the contemplation of death appears to Hamlet in the form of suicide. Hamlet is undergoing the hardships and hopelessness of his life and begins to accept that suicide is the ultimate defence against life’s troubles. To express his profound, depressed grief, Hamlet announces his first self-proclaimed thoughts of despair in his soliloquy, “O, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt.” Hamlet believes that if he were to kill himself, he would “sleep”, and by sleeping terminate “the heartache and thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to...” (III, i, 61-62). Hamlet ponders what an improvement his life would be without his grief.
He tries to accomplish his goal by hiding his sin but is distressed because of his pursuit of what he believes to- be happiness. Towards the end of the play his struggles eventually end in his downfall. His courage to stand strong in his beliefs leads him to death at the gallows. His personal struggle with Elizabeth is resolved as he makes his decision to refuse to confess to witchcraft. Elizabeth sees his inner goodness shine when he refuses to lie about being involved in witchcraft, and she realizes how unfair she has been.
It becomes clear that Hamlet did truly love Ophelia, yet hid it because he was a coward. The “ White Lie” is not only depicted through Hamlet denying his love but also putting a front up for the selfish betterment of his life style. After his outrageous lecture on self worth that Hamlet gives Ophelia, she grows incredibly mad, which ultimately leads to her death. Although the intentions of his lecture were clearly to hurt Ophelia and gain power over her, once he realizes she is dead he feels the need to express his actual love for her. His change of attitude grows confusing as he professes his dear love after her awful death, “ I loved Ophelia.
Arsat's guilt has blind their life for having a happy one. Arsat is also distraught about his life and the guilt, which is haunting him for his betrayal to his brother and to his country. At the beginning he thinks that was worth fighting and sacrificing for his lover and country, but gradually he realizes that the guilt of his betrayal would hang over him forever preventing him happiness and peace. In the other hand, what Arsat feels respect love, is just an illusion of an endless happiness and with the dead of Diamelion he ended up realizing that he is alone with the agony in his isolation. Arsat's love for Diamelen made him blind and he couldn´t think in anything else but Diamelen becoming himself in an incompletely man living in a word of illusions and fake hopes.
His mother’s quick marriage to Claudius, his father’s brother, leaves him bitter and disillusioned. In the first act of Hamlet that Hamlet’s state of mind is explored and his quest for the meaning of life begins. The soliloquy “Oh that this too too solid flesh would melt…” is a dramatic technique used by Shakespeare to reveal Hamlet’s true emotions and marks the beginning of Hamlet’s philosophical journey. The dominant imagery used in this soliloquy is one of corruption and disease. His disgust at his mother’s “incestuous” marriage is also revealed in this soliloquy.
Should he make himself feel better with revenge or with honor. The third soliloquy shows how Hamlet realizes that his conflicts in his mind cause his indecision and personal turmoil.
