    A very important thing that you don’t mention is that Hamlet is a tragic hero. He has heroic qualities but has one fatal flaw. He over thinks things which leads to procrastination. Upon careful exampination of the chapel scene, you’ll notice that Claudius isn’t actually asking for forgiveness. He basically is saying that he is already neck deep in all of this and there is no way out now. He wouldn’t have gone straight to heaven if he had been killed right then and there. Hamlet is no killer, and so he looks for any excuse to not do the deed. When Hamlets father says that Claudius murdered him, he doesn’t believe him. He puts on a “mask of antic disposition” and says that he must know for sure if his dad is telling the truth. Deep down he knows he is, but he cannot accept the role he’s given. Even after he finds out that Claudius did in fact kill his father via the play, he STILL puts the killing off. Hamlets procrastination and over thinking brings on his downfall, as well as others around him. He is truly, a tragic hero.

      It’s worth nothing that there is some contention in the (vast) Hamlet scholarship about this perspective. For centuries, beginning with the first actor to play Hamlet, Richard Burbage, the character was played as a rather straightforward hero-type, who spends the play nobly getting to the bottom of things. It was really only once Freud (and later Olivier, with his “Tragedy of a man who could not make up his mind” reading of the play) came along, around the dawn of the 20th century, that the view of Hamlet as a procrastinator became commonly accepted. Now, that’s not to say that that perspective is wrong; I think there’s a ton of textual support for it, which you allude to, but I think the context is important/interesting.

      I was under the impression that Claudius is actually praying in the strict sense of it, so Hamlet spared him. This explanation is great indeed.

    I’m not sure why we are told Ophelia killed herself? Not according to Shakespeare in Gertrude’s speech: Ophelia went mad, was playing by the river, making flower wreaths. She climbed a willow tree to hang the flower garlands on it, a bow broke and she fell in the water. Floating in the river, like her element, she didn’t understand the danger and her heavy dress sank her. Nothing here tells us she drowns herself by will. More like a death by insanity. The image correlates with an ondine/rusalka - a spirit of a drown beautiful young girl, that lives on in the river.

    • @thebookwormhotel5336
      @thebookwormhotel5336 Год назад +12

      it seems pretty obvious that a woman who had her partner go mad and her dad die is depressed, during this time suicide would lead to the one who committed to be buried out of the churches grave yard. Gertrude even if she knows why she died would never state it was suicide. especially when it's clear she was not in the correct head space during this time

    Reference to hamlet:
    Slavery was the main cause and driving factor of the war with Mexico and the Texas revolt. Had it not existed in our country likely there would not have been a desire for new territory for the cultivation of cotton and sugar or the market of slaves, and thus no strife with Mexico. If you read the war with Mexico reviewed by Abiel Livermore or even the anti Texas legion by Benjamin Lundy, it describes this as the factor without doubt or controversy, it would be like watching the play of hamlet, with hamlet ommitted from the play, an exact quote of the reference of slavery with the Texas revolution and war with Mexico.

  • @theinfernoburns
    @theinfernoburns Год назад +6

    As a tragedy, it's very effective and masterful. As something from which there is a lesson to be had, this fails communicating any moral righteous or otherwise.
    There is no arc it's a straight up circle. A new foreign king to yet again uphold the vises and sins of the appointed royalty. Maybe I'm missing the point and the medium which is a classical tragedy, maybe not. Is it a commentary on the ever separate but ubiquitous agency of Monarchy? On how murder is such a effective political tool governments all over the world practically have made it legal? Age old lessons that were well trodden even when Shakespeare wrote this.

  • @rattlethecages
    @rattlethecages 2 месяца назад +1

    This video has some inaccuracies. Firstly, Claudius isn’t seeking divine absolution, he’s panicking and trying desperately to think of a way out. Hamlet hesitates to kill him because it goes against his nature and the entire play is a meditation on over-contemplation. Hence “to be or not to be”.
    Secondly, it’s not conclusive whether or not Ophelia committed suicide, and if she did, it wasn’t entirely due to any cold shoulder treatment by Hamlet. She was distraught over Polonius’s death. She fell into the water in a state of delirium and could not come to her senses in time. So the safer educated guess here is to say she probably wasn’t trying to kill herself.

    ophelia was driven to madness by the killing of her father, not by hamlet's rejection. Maybe his rejection played a part in her madness, but the last straw was the murder of her father. we don't know if it was suicide or an accident caused by her madness, its up for interpretation
