Free Hamlet Essays: The Downfall of Hamlet :: Shakespeare Hamlet Essays

The Downfall of hamlet   There are many reasons why Hamlet had his downfall. One be his decision to keeping the murder of his father a secret. Another nonpareil being the screwals of his closest friends. Perhaps if Guildenstern or Rosencrantz had been there for Hamlet, to rely and fleck trust upon, he might not had to fell so alone. A little sympathy from his girlfriend Ophelia, and even his mother Gertrude would save been subtle as well. Unfortunately Ophelia is held back from Hamlet, due to her father. Gertrude marries his uncle Claudius, who is responsible for his fathers death, and is looking to overcome him next. And Guildenstern and Rosencrantz are ordered by Claudius to spy on Hamlet, and betray him as a friend. How Gertrude can marry the brother, and murderer of her deceased husband beat out me How she got re-married so quickly subsequently the death, and without even consulting with her son Hamlet exactly proves how much of an ugly person she really is. Thrift, thrift, Horatio. The funeral baked meats did coldly issue forth the marriage tables.( Iii 180-181). What beats me is how even after Hamlet told his mother that Claudius was responsible for his fathers death, she still decided to stay with him. Which is living proof of how self centred she is, and how much her son means to her. A cover deed almost as bad, good mother, as kill a king, and marry his brother.( IIIiv29-30). Hamlet, now having no blood family left wing to lean on, finds himself feeling very alone. But cannot see his downfall coming. For Guildenstern and Rosencrantz to betray Hamlet the way they did is utterly despicable. Especially considering that their taking the orders from Claudius. Claudius turns out to be quite a good lire, and shows his skill of being able to circumvent people, into doing what he wants. Welcome, dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Moreover that we much did long to see you, the ask we have to use you did provoke our hasty sending. ( IIi i 1-4). Since Rosencrantz and Guildenstern spied on Hamlet, and brought back the fact that he is mad to Claudius. Claudius could then betoken out Hamlets next move, and counter act it with his own. Was not like madness. Theres something in his soul. ( III i 161). If Claudius hadnt had Guildenstern or Rosencrantz to aid him in his efforts, I think Hamlet could have had a chance at survival.
