Hamlet - the masterpiece by the excellence of
the Shakespearean genius translates in a
grandiose and profound form the social
contradictions of the era, through the shocking
moral crisis of the nobleman and his hero. The
Prince of Denmark, returning home from
Wittenberg, where he had studied philosophy,
finds a brutal discrepancy between his ideas
about life and reality itself. The brutal reality
reveals horrible truths to him: the killing of his
father to take the throne, the infidelity of his
mother immediately married to her husband's
murderer and the falseness of the royal court
that accepts all these monstrous deeds
without opposition. Hamlet's suffering is
fueled by the disillusions that other humanists
of the time also tried; like them, Hamlet
observes that "the world is a garden invaded
by beetles"
The young prince,
naturally inclined
towards studies and
reflection, is brutally
forced by events to act
and avenge his father by
stimulating madness.
Therefore, Shakespeare's play
supports the principle of
development through the various
themes it debates, such as finding
out the truth, the power of love. This
leads to a deep development of the
text. Hamlet is able to overcome the
love he has for Ophelia. He pretends
to be crazy in order to be left alone by
the rest of the world: his mother,
Claudius and Gertrude, but only those
close to him such as Horatio and two
former schoolmates know his plans.
This madness is also carried across
by Ofelia, who later commits suicide
by throwing herself into the river.
