He does seem to be in a dual or bipolar state of mind, unconsciousness might got overloaded when processing attitude and behavior. What is a lion without his female, nothing to protect but to eat, desire and chaos. Madness as illusion walks.

What people ignore when talking about Hamlet's alleged procrastination is that King Claudius is almost certainly surrounded by bodyguards and other armed men, so any assassination attempt will likely amount to suicide on Hamlet's part. No wonder he hesitates.

@@crappyaccount the plays are in early modern english! So still technically the same language (unlike old English and Middle english), but quite different from how we normally speak. Shakespeare also invented words, so a bit of it is stuff he just made up. A really interesting thing is what is called the great vowel shift, which was when the vowels in English shifted (obviously). This happened after standardised spelling (one reason english spelling seems weird) and Shakespeare were things. We probably won't ever really know for certain how words were pronounced back then, but thanks to people like Shakespeare, who wrote things with a specific set of rules, we know which words rhyme with which words, and how many syllables words were supposed to have. This allows us to make guesses about how these words were pronounced. :)

@@mellomell7269 To be fair, Gertrude doesn’t see the dead King when he appears to Hamlet after Polonius is slain-only Hamlet sees him. The theme of violence “to ones ears” in how suggesting makes people believe is also at play in convincing Hamlet (like Claudius persuading Laertes to murder Hamelt) that a wrong must be made right. Though you are correct that the Kong is said to appear to the nightwatch & Horatio at the start-though even this could be questioned insofar as an apparition at night by men readying for war, mourning the King (who would likely have the King on their mind), and even unsure of who all is approaching at night-as evidence by the first line. Ambiguity looms large in this play, and the more one studies the less certain one becomes in determining what all is real or imagined.

A reflection on The Tragedy of Hamlet! The Tragedy of Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's most famous and enduring works. The play follows the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who is visited by the ghost of his father and urged to seek revenge against his uncle, who has murdered his father and seized the throne. One of the things that makes Hamlet so special is its complex characters. Hamlet himself is a deeply troubled and conflicted character, struggling with grief, anger, and self-doubt. Other characters, such as Ophelia, are also richly drawn and add depth to the play. Another noteworthy aspect of Hamlet is its exploration of themes such as revenge, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. These themes are still relevant today, and the play's exploration of them continues to resonate with audiences. Hamlet is also notable for its language, which is poetic, eloquent, and full of memorable phrases. Lines such as "To be, or not to be" and "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" have become iconic and continue to be quoted and referenced today. In conclusion, The Tragedy of Hamlet is a masterpiece of literature that continues to captivate audiences and inspire reflection on important themes and human experiences. Its enduring popularity is a testament to Shakespeare's enduring influence and the timeless appeal of his work. 0:20 [Content generated by ChatGPT.

I always wanted to understand what the notoriety behind Shakespeare and now I get it. Hamlet also sounds a lot like Crime and Punishment to me, which is also a great read if anyone thought something more modern might but more cohesive scepticism within the mind. TED-Ed > school

I had to read Hamlet in tenth grade and I found the story to be funny. Is there something wrong with me? After reading the story, each student in my class had to choose, analyze, and recite (from memory) one of the soliloquies. I chose Hamlet's first soliloquy because it had a lot of allusions to Greek mythology and his indecisiveness entertained me. It also wasn't too long or too short, and I actually enjoyed memorizing and analyzing it. I still know it by heart. I'd definitely recommend Hamlet to anyone. Obviously, the language may be hard to understand, but the story is worth the struggle.

Many well are enthralled by the passage in Hamlet, "to be, or not to be.'". I found Hamlet's musing on the state of humanity more profound, "what a piece of work is man...".

the crazy part is Hamlet's plan was to act crazy so that king Claudius and them wouldn't questions Hamlet's odd actions, but throughout the play, I questioned whether he was acting or if he was actually going insane, and I'm still not sure which one it is.

Hamlet is like those teachers who answer your questions with questions *To be or not to be* Hamlet: Wait.. that reminds me of another question I have *Recites the whole book*

It’s also good to reread hamlet once in a while. I read it last year and loved it, but coming to it again now takes it to a new level as I lost a family member recently and have also been struggling with some complex emotions and contemplating mortality more than ever

These animations, comments and analysis are beyond marvelous!

This lesson is fantastic! It synthesizes the whole moral dilemma that Prince Hamlet tries to cope with throughout the play. I'll be more than glad to share this link with my English class! 😊❤ Thanks indeed, TED Ed! 😊❤🎊🎉
