From the Paper:
"Shakespeare's Hamlet is comprised of many themes and varying points of view. While Hamlet is chiefly a play of revenge, it goes beyond this simple theme and concentrates on the unique and thoughtful nature of the prince. It is a philosophical not an active Hamlet we are treated to, who does not so much pursue his revenge against his father as he is swept to it from the events occurring throughout the play. For example, when Hamlet kills Claudius and Laertes it is because he accidentally came to have the poisoned tip sword, not because he planned it that way. Hamlets' preoccupation with nature and the consequences of man's actions has led some critics to call him the "first modern man." This paper will explore Hamlet's vacillation, his motivations, lack of action and character. A conclusion will discuss why the play's theme is still relevant to today's audiences"More papers on Hamlet:
