Number of Pages 7

This research paper: This is a 7 page critical analysis of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”. William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” (1601) is considered one of his most popular, psychologically driven and dark tragedies. An analysis of the elements within the play show that Hamlet as the central and pivotal character reveals his inner most thoughts as he contemplates his situation, the events and purposes of those around him and the true metaphysical meaning of his life and the lives of others. The play is basically formatted as a “revenge tragedy” but readers and audiences soon come to realize that Shakespeare upon writing this play provided psychological and philosophical questions which remain consistently important to this day. Through themes of revenge, madness, incest, love, corruption and power, Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” becomes more than a play but becomes an examination of mankind and his will to act. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
