The significant tragedy “Hamlet” violates the eternal problems. Those problems are connected with the contradiction between action and ideal, the role of personality in the history of humanity, the meaning of the life of each person, with justice, revenge, betrayal, love, friendship, and corruptibility.
Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” has been written based on the concept of retaliation. The relation between the brothers, friends and beloved. The unhappy man, whose mind is too broad for our close world, is trying to decide what to do with himself and with the situation - whether to live, or not to live; further, to take vengeance, or not to take it. He doesn’t know if it’s better to be alive or dead. Being dead looks like sleeping, and sleeping is good, but it might be a nightmare. There are plenty of terrible things that happen in this life, and we would end it all except the fear that comes after death it may be much worse.
Ophelia and Gertrude represent the women line. We want you to pay attention to the first one, as she is a beloved of the main hero. Ophelia in writing of the great playwright is volitional, strong, decisive human, who is trying to resist inexhaustible life circumstances and not to break into a violent fate. We experience an extraordinary tension of feelings and passions. She is characterized by extraordinary colorfulness, expressiveness, imagery, deep, sometimes inclusive tragedy, which passes the leitmotif in the plot of tragedies. “Hamlet” is created on the broad social background.
Ophelia is an image characterized by isolation; it is difficult for her to withstand the problems and crimes of the surrounding world. She is very vulnerable and sensitive and influenced by emotions. She is not able to challenge the tragic circumstances of the fate or contradictions of her contemporary society.
The relations of heroes are not built as love. They are marked by other motives: the prohibition of Ophelia to accept the warmth of Hamlet and her humility of parental will; main hero’s love frustration, suggested by his role of a madman; the true madness of Ophelia, through which the words of the song broke the memories of what was, or that there was not between them. She does not break the circle of prince's tragic loneliness, on the contrary, she gives him a smoother feel of this loneliness: they are transformed into obedient instruments of intrigue and make the dangerous charm that the prince is trying to catch.
Polonius, Laertes, and Hamlet encircled Ophelia. However, all these three men vanished because Laertes walks away, Hamlet kills Polonius, and both Polonius and prince leave her, so she cannot make any decisions, she does not have any choices apart from behaving according to rules of three men.
“Hamlet” is a world-famous masterpiece that has different kinds of reviews; it has always caused controversial responses. The main hero is a fighter against the mores of the depraved and despotic royal court. He cares about the destiny of the humanity for which blessing and justice should become the main moral criteria, but unfortunately, his beloved betrays him.
