第一篇: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.
