Реферат: Hamlet Finding Courage To Die Essay Research

her brother-in-law and king. Hamlet begs his mother to stop being intimate with

Claudius and to think more upon her late husband. This shows that Hamlet has a

very clear perception of right and wrong. He also shows this characteristic by

being suspicious and even hurt by his childhood friends loyalty to Claudius.

Even though Hamlet is despondent over his fathers death, he keeps in mind his

moral convictions and sets out to right what he sees as a wrong doing towards

his father, and ultimately his family.

The plays tragic ending is just more proof that Hamlet was bound by his

own ethics to avenge his fathers wrongful death. Hamlet’s character traits are

very deeply ingrained and he does what he must to keep those traits from being

exploited by what he sees as unethical people.
