William Shakespeare

Hamlet: Corruptionphysical corruption-is a precursor, signifying to the audience the ultimate fate of all those characters exhibiting signs of corruption.Polonius may be the most obviously corrupt character, but the centre of evil of the play's plot and of the kingdom is Claudius.When Marcellus states, 'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.' it could be interpreted that he is speaking of a threat of war, but when looked at as symbolic, nothing could better sum up Claudius' corrupting effect on the kingdom which is brought on by his unpunished crime.His evil deeds carry him to the throne and pollute the people around him causing chaos, sorrow and death.The image of rotting along with the released odour permeating far and wide symbolizes the

infectious quality of sin.The suggested transformation of a beautiful human into a disgusting, purposeless mass symbolizes the effect of sin on the human soul.Hamlet himself strives to separate his noble qualities, which we have

seen throughout the play, from the circumstance and treachery against which he has struggled, and in which he has been entangled.As a prince Hamlet cannot not rule, but he too has become corrupted, not in mind, but by history, by becoming the focus of the ancient revenger's dilemma.Any action he takes will be morally dubious.Not taking revenge will reduce him and make him unfit for rule by his own standards, and taking revenge will do the same.Though Hamlet retains our sympathy at the end of the play, he has

murdered five people and caused the suicide of one.But Hamlet can still decide Denmark's future, by effectively appointing a successor.Thus, the corruption dies with him;all the inevitable justice is carried out;and Hamlet's legacy remains.From a morally dubious situation, Hamlet is able to wrest an honourable death, and the chance of stability for the future of his country.From the fates of Polonius, Claudius and Hamlet we see that corruption originating from 'disease' leads to death.Hamlet and Polonius' emotions

clouded their judgement and led them to their death.Furthermore we see that those who killed others in the play were motivated by the stagnant disease that infected their minds and bodies.Hamlet, for example, was overcome by the disease and unintentionally killed Polonius, mistaking him for Claudius.Killing another character was clearly not the correct path to solving problems;there was no clear judgement behind rash behaviour that included secrecy, lies, deceit, and murder.Corruption such as this could only lead to death.As an aside, we can note that Fortinbras was an intelligent young man who made his mark through the play quietly and honourably because he was a character whose mind was never infected with the 'disease'.A stagnant disease, with no cure, that inevitably leads to death: corruption.

第四篇：hamlet 哈姆雷特 读后感 英文

‗To be, or not to be‘ is the object of this drama, this sentence reflects the contradiction and struggle of the young prince.After struggling with his own heart, finally, the young hamlet summoned up courage and fight with his evil uncle.Act I, scene i.On a dark winter night outside Ellsinore Castle in Denmark, an officer named Bernardo comes to relieve the watchman Francisco.Shakespeare uses a dark night as the first background to establish the dark tone.It leads people to a dim kingdom.Act I, scene iii.The morning after Horatio and the guardsmen see the ghost;King Claudius gives a speech to his courtiers, explaining his recent marriage to Gertrude, his brother‘s widow and the mother of Prince Hamlet.Having established a dark, ghostly atmosphere in the first scene, Shakespeare devotes the second to the seemingly jovial court of the recently crowned King Claudius.If the area outside the castle is murky with the aura of dread and anxiety, the rooms inside the castle are devoted to an energetic attempt to banish that aura, as the king, the queen, and the courtiers desperately pretend that nothing is out of the ordinary.It is difficult to imagine a more convoluted family dynamic or a more out-of-balance political situation, but Claudius nevertheless preaches an ethic of balance to his courtiers, pledging to sustain and combine the sorrow he feels for the king‘s death and the joy he feels for his wedding in equal parts.Act I, scene IV also continues the development of the motif of the ill health of Denmark.Hamlet views the king‘s carousing as a further sign of the state‘s corruption, commenting that alcohol makes the bad aspects of a person‘s character overwhelm all of his or her good qualities.And the appearance of the ghost is again seen as a sign of Denmark‘s decay, this time by Marcellus, who famously declares, ―Something is rotten in the state of Denmark‖(I.iv.67)

The short scene that begins Act II is divided into two parts, the first of which involves Polonius‘s conversation with Reynaldo about Laertes and the second of which involves Polonius‘s conversation with Ophelia about Hamlet.The scene serves to develop the character of Polonius, who is one of the most intriguing figures in Hamlet.Polonius can be interpreted as either a doddering fool or as a cunning manipulator, and he has been portrayed onstage as both.In this scene, as he carefully instructs Reynaldo in the art of snooping, he seems more the manipulator than the fool, though his obvious love of hearing his own voice leads him into some comical misprisions(―And then, sir, does a this — a does — / what was I about to say? By the mass, I was about to say some / thing.Where did I leave?‖(II.i.49–51]).In the first two scenes of Act III, Hamlet and Claudius both devise traps to catch one another‘s secrets: Claudius spies on Hamlet to discover the true nature of his madness, and Hamlet attempts to ―catch the conscience of the king‖ in the theater(III.i.582).The play-within-a-play tells the story of Gonzago, the Duke of Vienna, and his wife, Baptista, who marries his murdering nephew, Lucianus.Hamlet believes that the play is an opportunity to establish a more reliable basis for Claudius‘s guilt than the claims of the ghost.Since he has no way of knowing whether to believe a member of the spirit world, he tries to determine whether Claudius is guilty by reading his behavior for signs of a psychological state of guilt.In Act III, scene iii, Hamlet finally seems ready to put his desire for revenge into action.He is satisfied that the play has proven his uncle‘s guilt.When Claudius prays, the audience is given real certainty that Claudius murdered his brother: a full, spontaneous confession, even though nobody else hears it.This only heightens our sense that the climax of the play is due to arrive.But Hamlet waits.As we saw in Act IV, scene ii, the murder of Polonius and the subsequent traumatic encounter with

his mother seem to leave Hamlet in a frantic, unstable frame of mind, the mode in which his excitable nature seems very similar to actual madness.He taunts Claudius, toward whom his hostility is now barely disguised, and makes light of Polonius‘s murder with word games.He also pretends to be thrilled at the idea of sailing for England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.As befits a scene full of anger and dark thoughts, Act IV, scene v brings a repetition of the motif of insanity, this time through the character of Ophelia, who has truly been driven mad by the death of her father.Shakespeare has demonstrated Ophelia‘s chaste dependence on the men in her life;after Polonius‘s sudden death and Hamlet‘s subsequent exile, she finds herself abruptly without any of them.In the final scene, the violence, so long delayed, erupts with dizzying speed.Characters drop one after the other, poisoned, stabbed, and, in the case of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, executed, as the theme of revenge and justice reaches its conclusion in the moment when Hamlet finally kills Claudius.In the moments before the duel, Hamlet seems peaceful, though also quite sad.Throughout this drama, maybe I do not have enough ability to appreciate it absolutely;I learn that people will feel at sea at times, but we must keep up our spirits to struggle and find a correct way to strive.

第五篇：Hamlet --- The unity of controverasal

Hamlet

---The combination of contradiction

As the saying goes, one thousand readers, there are one thousand Hamlets.Others may think he is a soldier, a hero or a thinker.However, in my mind, he is an immature teen-age youth who is the combination of contradictions.Firstly, as a prince, he is an idealist.He lives a luxurious life and is educated by humanism.Without knowing the dark aspects of the society, he is favored by his parents and respected by his people.We can see in the play that he believes the true, the good and the beautiful and he is a real perfectionist, which can also explain why he is so shocked by the things happen on him and doesn’t know how to deal with it perfectly.Experiencing the death of his father, the usurping the throne of his uncle and the remarriage of his mother, Hamlet’s dream turns into bubbles.He falls in to hell from the heaven and goes on the trip of revenge.The prince has to have common people’s feeling, sadness, hatred, disappointment, hypocrisy and so on.Secondly, he is definitely a great thinker but also an ordinary people who hesitates to practice his thought.He begins consider himself and his people after he listen to his dead Father King’s words.He even says “To be or not to be, this is a question: was bear the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles world, through the clearing their struggle, these two kinds of behavior, which is a more noble.” He falls in to deep thought and condemns himself.His father is murdered and the ghost of his father urges him to take the revenge.He doesn’t do anything.He wonders: how a coward or a indecent woman I am.He not only thinks of his own fate, but also considers everyone’s existence.There is no doubt that he is the great man of mind.“Now I clearly have reason, have the determination and have the strength, have a way of can start to do what I have to do, but I still in touted said: 'it needs to do.'But never expressed in action…” is the evidence for his hesitation.When his enemy is praying and he plans to kill him, he should consider that killing a man who is praying will allows him to go to haven, which makes him lose the chance to kill his uncle and commit the tragedy.Thirdly, he believes the true, the good and the beautiful, but he doesn’t believe his friends and his lover.It is his behavior that makes Ophelia dead.He pretends to be mad and kill her father by accident.Ophelia can’t bear the reality and goes to the place where she dates with her prince madly… His ignorance of others’ care and arrogance kill other four innocent people.Last but not least, he is the combination of the goodness and evil.On the one hand, he is pious to his parents, his girlfriend and his friends in a way.He bears the responsibility to take revenge on his uncle and to save the ordinary people.He tries his best to satisfy everyone but he also hurts many people.He takes his revenge on his uncle by hook or by crook.He kills Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.He is cold when he kills Polonius and heartless to Ophelia.Not merely does he lead to his own tragedy, but also leads to the whole play’s tragedy.All in all, the dejected prince wants to take revenge on his uncle, but he can’t find a proper way and his ability is not equal to his ambition.He is an idealist who has to face the cruel reality.As a great think who believes the true, the good and the beautiful, he hesitates to take the action and doubt everyone around him.He is the saver and also the destroyer.He is a giant and also an ordinary people.He is a noble prince and also an immature teen-age youth.
