Shakespeare is the most famous playwright and poet and Hamlet was masterfully written by him in the golden era of Elizabethan theatre. The play begins with the murder of Hamlet’s father. Throughout the play, the main purpose of characters is to revenge each other. Meanwhile, we can observe the thoughts and behaviour of the characters.
First of all, we can analyze the behaviours of his family and his relatives after Hamlet’s father is killed by Claudius. Hamlet is the one who deeply feels the sorrow of his death and even therefore he doesn’t like Denmark. We can clearly understand his thoughts in this quotation:“nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath, no nor the fruitful river I the eye, nor the dejected havior of the visage, together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief that can denote me truly: these indeed seem.” In addition, Queen Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother, is sad of the death of her husband, but she is not so deeply affected. In this quotation, she tells her son that “Thou know’st tis common; all that lives must die, passing trough nature to eternity.” Moreover, Claudius who is King of Denmark is the murderer of Hamlet’s father. He pretends to be upset because nobody knows he is the killer of his brother. He wears a mask and he says that death is normal and that being in too much sorrow is coming against God.
Secondly, we can discuss the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia who is the daughter of Polonius because everyone has different thoughts about them. They love each other and start spending time together. However, her father and brother worry about her youth and age so they warn about their relationship. Throughout the play, Hamlet thinks his father’s ghost and makes revengeful plans and he does not have too much time to spend time her together. She begins to misinterpret Hamlet's behaviour so she talks her family. Her brother says that “keep you in the rear of your affection, out of the shot and danger of desire.” To this quotation, his thoughts are just to protect his sister because she is young and youth can make us do things we may regret. This is just an advice for her. Furthermore, her father says that “do not believe his vows; for they are brokers, not of that dye which their investments show, but mere implorators of unholy suits, breathing like sanctified and pious bawds, to better to beguile.” To his thoughts, her daughter should be aware of her youth and relationship and his wish is to stay away from him.
Lastly, we can talk about Hamlet’s behaviour after his father is killed and he talks his ghost. Hamlet’s mother and uncle think that he is sorrowful and mad because of his father's death. Therefore, he starts to change day by day. They talk to Polonius and he says that his mood changes due to the relationship between his daughter, but it is not. They send Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to get information why Hamlet’s behaviour changes, but they are not successful. The truth is that he thinks of his father's revenge because the ghost says that his uncle is a murderer and he has a relationship with his mother. Therefore, he seems to mad, but nobody knows the truth till the theatre he writes. After he learns all the things happens, he considers them and says that “Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her galled eyes, She married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets!”
To sum up, we can observe that every character looks different perspectives about the events that happen throughout the play because we are not the same person and we cannot think the same things. Therefore, we can say that everything and everyone is one and only.
