The superego serves as a person's conscience, it differentiate between what is right and wrong; therefore, the superego may possibly justify the reasons for Hamlet's actions. Both his father's death, and mother's marriage, have mentally affected him, clouding his judgment. These circumstances prohibited Hamlet from knowing action to take. The seven soliloquies in William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince of Denmark reveal Hamlet's indecisiveness, grief, revenge, and insanity. While all seven reveal parts of Hamlet's character there are three soliloquies in particular that are vital to the reader's understanding of Hamlet's motivation leading to his fatal end. .
Hamlet's first soliloquy appears in Act I of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, where he expresses his feelings about his father's death and his mother's hastily marriage to Claudius. While Hamlet is feeling both grief and sorrow, he also reveals his anger and disgust of the marriage through his words: .
O, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt,.
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew! .
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd .
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter (Hamlet. I. ii 129-132).
Hamlet is suggesting suicide as an end to his sorrow; however, Hamlet goes on to say that "the Everlasting" is against "self-slaughter," or suicide. This drastic action would result in Hamlet's not going to Heaven after death. "''Tis an unweeded garden, That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature. Possess it merely" (Hamlet. I. ii 134-136). Hamlet accepts that weeds are a natural part of the garden (and generally a natural part of life), he feels that the weeds have grown out of control and now they have possessed him entirely. Hamlet is using weeds to describe the problems in his life. He feels that his problems are out of control, just as weeds are in a garden.
