Hamlet’s Emotions in the First Soliloquy Essay

In the play crossroads, Shakespeare creates a rich emotional fabric in crossroadss first soliloquy. From the first lines of the soliloquy, we can find such emotions as depression, disillusion, anger, and even the hatred and hatred for Hamlets niggle and uncle. The first line in the soliloquy shows us depression O that this too too solid flesh would melt,/Thaw and resolve itself into a dew (Shakespeare 42). Hamlets depressive mettle is explained by that he is tired of life and wants to die. The reason for this is that all of the events, like King Hamlets death or Claudiuss marriage with Gertrude, Hamlets mother, which happens with the Prince press on him. As for the macrocosm disillusion about the Queen, when she marries Claudius, Hamlet asks himself why, she would hang on him,/As if increase of appetite had grown (Shakespeare 42). Hamlet feels disillusioned about his mother because after two months when his father dead, she espouse Claudius.In Hamlets opinion his mother betrayed his fathers love. Also Hamlet feels too angry with his uncle, so he compares Claudius with his father, who was so keen a king and says about the new king that was, to this,/Hyperion to a satyr (Shakespeare 42). The young Prince cant understand how his uncle can be a better king than his father. Hamlet is angry with Claudius because that satyr married his mother and called Hamlet his son, without asking his opinion or wish. Hamlet is not only angry with his uncle, just now also he hates Claudius My fathers brother, /within a month,/Ere yet the salt of most unholy tears/Had left the flushing in her galled eyes (Shakespeare 44). Hamlet hates his uncle because Claudius seduced his mother.But the strongest emotion Hamlet has in my mind is disgust about his mother a beast, that wants discourse of reason (Shakespeare 42). Young Hamlet thinks that his mother betrayed his father love while marrying Claudius. Also Prince thinks that his mother is like all other women, he thinks that she i s a prostitute. In the first soliloquy Hamlet has a rich emotional fabric, which is made up from the strongest emotions that coordinate Prince of Denmarks character.
