Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, was perhaps one of the most cryptic and sophisticated plays in the English literature. The play reflected upon the doubts one's life was built upon, and the dilemmas one must face and resolve. Prince Hamlet, the tragic star suffered from being too philosophical and indecisive, causing his revenge to be almost impossible, until the very last scene of the play. The protagonist was constantly making excuses to the detainment of his revenge on King Claudius for his father. He speculated greatly about the physical remains of the deceased and the spiritual aftermath of the dead although he knew it was inevitable. Throughout the story, Hamlet simultaneously expressed his desires to escape from the real world, while constantly hesitated about the nobility of his choices about death.
Prince Hamlet was easily distracted by his thoughts on the legitimacy of death as a solution to his escape from the burdens and troubles he must face in life. He was extremely melancholy and discontented with his own family. And the reason was none-other-than the remarriage of Gertrude, his mother, to his uncle, Claudius, within a month after King Hamlet's death. The younger prince, who returned to Denmark for his father's funeral was shocked as the news unveiled before him. He painfully grieved, "Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears/ Had left the flushing in her [Gertrude] galled eyes,/ She married O most wicked speed!" (Hamlet I ii 153-156) The recent dramatic events deeply distressed him, and he longed no more than to seek a way out. Under these circumstance, Prince Hamlet contemplated about his own death and even thought about suicide, in lines 129-134 of Act I Sc II, he cried out,.
O that this too sullied flesh would melt,.
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew,.
Or that the Everlasting had not fixd.
His canon gainst self-slaughter. O God! God!.
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable.
