1. Hamlet finds out his mother is sleeping with his father's brother (the former King). Infact, the former kind was the brutal murderer who killed Hamlet's father.
ReplyDelete2. Hamlet meet's his father's spirit and is overwhelmed with a task upon himself. To avenge his father's death.
3.Above all, Hamlet needs to make sure he is telling the truth. He goes out of his way to put on a play to examine his uncle's reaction.
4. Hamlet is in an awkward position with his lover Ophelia. This is also a big factor that makes him go mad. Especially how she gives him his letters back during a hard time.
5. He is refering his mother to our modern day term "whore". Its hard having a Queen as a mother who is unaware of this issue as does Hamlet.
6.Hamlet begins to question life, asking himself if life is really worth living for. In Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech.
7. He opens the letter given by Claudius to exterminate Hamlet. He changes his name, and adds his fellow friends, just so he can return.
You should also add his little conversation with the Queen in the bedroom and his unexpected guest who Hamlet murders unwillingly. Ophelia's father.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of these factors and would include the factor of having people around him, constantly judging him made him go a little crazy
