II．Analysis of Hamlet's character (2)

Hamlet's character is a bright, rich, but also the development, we study the character of Hamlet must be examined in the course of the fight put him in.Beginning of the story, Hamlet is a carefree Denmark Prince, he was young, optimistic, and full of energy, life has been going well. In the pursuit of

knowledge, he came alone to distant Germany Wittenburg University. At that time, Vuitton is humanist gathering places, full of ideas. In College, Hamlet by the infection of humanism, emotion has been nurtured, so filled with better vision for life and living. In his eyes, his father is an ideal King, was a wise King, as a "person" model. It can be said that Hamlet's world is full of sunshine, when he was still living in the beautiful world of fantasy.

However, when hamlet returns to his country, but was suddenly changes. Brutal truth of his life has been ruined completely. Father suddenly died suddenly, and mother was remarried in a hurry, had married his uncle Claudius, the uncle also usurped the throne. Hamlet suddenly plunged into an abyss of suffering. His world is no longer beautiful, no longer simple. His heart was filled with anguish and sorrow, lost interest in everything, even the despair of life. Suddenly one day, King hamlet has dreamed his father. Father to his dream, telling him the truth. Father was murdered by Claudius, this thing down like a bolt from the hamlet. Heavy blow to his spirit and power of survival could not be found. In desperation, the hamlet had to pretend, but his mind was wide awake. He began to observe the world with their own eyes, Hamlet finally finds himself living in a world full of evil, he began to reflect on, and to bless the absurd behavior of Claudius in fear. While hamlet carefully observe the world and people around him have changed. Friend Jamie Fullerton thought Dan luosenkelanzi vessel for qiurong, betray Hamlet, act as spies for Claudius. Valentine aofeiliya also be used as a tool by the enemy, original Claudius faces now take 20, 40, 50, and 100 gold pieces to buy his small portrait. Hamlet has finally begun to face up to their responsibilities, not only does he have to kill Claudius, but also to reverse the drying Shi Shen, remaking this society!

In order to change the community, Hamlet racked, hoping to find a way to turn things around or just road to recovery. However, the consequences he considered too detailed, so miss the chance again and again. So, in a very long period of time, Hamlet started to get restless, since the task yourself. And he thought: "tent of the sky as a top good ... ... I think that it is nothing more than a

bunch of accumulation of miasma. "From here we can see that Hamlet is in serious crisis, in the famous three-act in a monologue, showed his emotional pain to the extreme, even live or not live issues. Melancholy, characteristic of Hamlet's ideal shattered mental state. As Marx said, not Denmark Prince

blue ... ... Prince nor itself. Hamlet's personality is sensitive, shy, love meditation. His sensitive performance in the high degree of sensitivity to moral sense and keen observation of reality. He whipped violently "cruel, treacherous, incest, and Paradox of the bad guy." Harsh criticism that mother while waiting for the funeral procession to wear shoes wear out quickly remarried, so hated that flatter the courtiers. His thinking is profound, powerful, from his family's misfortune, Palace of corruption seen throughout Denmark miasma. He's relentlessly exposing the dark reality, sharply pointed out that it was a "troubled times upside down" "the world is one big prison '" Denmark is one of the worst prison ' "era the whole out of joint!"Belinsky reveal to hamlet gave a high evaluation of power, saying that "Hamlet's every word is poison coated arrows, his every word to show the evils of hatred and how evil has been realized the deep sadness."

Meanwhile, the image of Hamlet is a thinker, rather than a simple revenge for the parent. Is in he consider "live down also is not live" of when, he by wants to of is life, and social and whole national of fate "investigate competing the swallow to capacity by rage of fate vector stone make attack does, also is the stand against boundless of distressed, sweep it a clean?" Hamlet see has world Shang of evil de defeated line, also look has himself of task and target. Why the delay in taking action, delaying? Interpretation of Hamlet's delay has always been different.

Some scholars believe that Hamlet's thought than action, indecision, doubt, and lost the will. Shileigeer said Hamlet "because of the singular life, all power is concentrated in his noble nature kept thinking intellectually, his ability to act would be entirely undermined." Some scholars believe that the hamlet of weak character, it is difficult to complete the heavy responsibility of

restructuring the course. This statement is made by the Goethe-Institut. Goethe thought Hamlet's tragedy is doomed, Hamlet does not have a strong energy to make him a hero, but was destroyed by a heavy burden of. There are said to be due to various reasons a chance to start, so ambition difficult to pay. These claims only emphasizes the protagonist's subjective character and focus solely on tables and phenomena, but did not reveal the causes of the tragedy. Hamlet was repeatedly delayed, finally, although the accident killed his father revenge, but failed to accomplish his noble mission, tragic ending, its root causes and historical conditions are not mature. Objectively, the reactionary forces are too powerful and has advanced ideas like Hamlet's character is one of the few, the old feudal power weakened, but still occupy a dominant position and at the same time and period of capitalist primitive accumulation of evil are intertwined to form a powerful evil forces. Advanced humanist with the evil forces of conflict, in fact, is the inevitable outcome of historical development, but also impossible victory, this is a thoroughly tragic struggle.

The tragedy of Hamlet is a tragedy of the times. Hamlet's tragedy is the tragedy of humanism. Hamlet is a humanist typical concentrated reflection of the humanist in him the progress and limitations. He has many good qualities, sincere, friendly, open and above board, as equals. His outstanding character, embodies a humanist, he sees everything in a humanist point of view, enthusiastic praise of human values. Hamlet always thinks that men are all primates, have their own ideas and freedom. This Ode to humanity, sure people have noble in reason and a lot of strength, and to create a better life and a great cause, is a bold challenge to medieval religious theocratic rules, is based on "human nature" against the "divine". Hamlet against the hierarchical feudal relationship, advocating equality between people and love. He did not agree with Huo Laxu "servant" status refer to him as "your Highness", but also against the soldiers, he said, "loyalty". He openly declared that "beggars are entities, our Kings and boasting a hero is the beggar's shadow". These were rare at the time.

However, the hamlet has a humanist thinking limits. On the attitudes

towards people he showed two of the humanists. As an emerging bourgeois thinkers, he can be closer to the people, he was surrounded by officers, guards, street actors, sailors on the warship, and grave digger. Hamlet also has some sympathy for the plight of the people. Claudius saw "people loved him," reluctant to dispose of him. But divorced from the masses of Hamlet, his nation's hopes on the wise governance of the monarch, he does not believe, do not see the power of the masses. His action plan in addition to Huo Laxu, a person does not tell. Therefore, he always felt lonely, depressed, pessimistic, negative, role to play in the shoulder and libushengren. Alone, divorced from the masses is also an important cause of the tragedy of Hamlet.

Through the image of Hamlet, Shakespeare for us and shows in a period of transition from the old to the new United Kingdom social appearance, depicting the situation of humanism. In the special context, humanists struggle against social reality and dark, they continue to search for truth, in search of freedom, but also shows their tragic fate. Hamlet was so impressed by readers, not that he can solve problems in the dark society, but his fighting unit and the social courage to let people amazed. Hamlet's story, and the real world is full of contradictions and conflicts, for a better life, must fight-fight. Maybe this is the hamlet to the history of European literature to become immortal model for important reasons. Moving forward, to overcome difficulties and changing reality is advocated by the purpose of the hamlet!

III．The factors that influence the character of Hamlet(1)

1.The tragic experience of life

In Shakespeare's play, tells of Denmark Hamlet, life experiences and changes of inner experience, once the hamlet is a life and a future full of hope, full of fantasy and dreams of people. He has a heroic King father and the Queen Mother of a beautiful and charming, unmatched in his life, full of hope. However this soon with a palace coup and quickly at the end. Hamlet's father (former King) is killed by his brother Claudius, vicious, Claudius is not only insidious usurped his throne and turns took advantage of his wife. As learned

from the ghost of Hamlet after his father's death, was determined to avenge his father and regain kingship.

But hamlet revenge of process to complex have more, revenge eventually to tragedy ending, because in Hamlet revenge of process in the, he manslaughter has Polonius--he love of lover of father, and he of lover Ophelia because incredible himself of father died in has deep love of lover hand Shang of facts and crazy death, hamlet of mother while and because errors drink has wine and eventually died, Ophelia of brother this wants to to father revenge, is by sinister of King using, eventually died in HIV sword zhixia, Though hamlet kill the King, but they are going t died because of poisoning, his fantasies of the revamp also because his death is not final finished, so in the end to his good friend to finish.

From ancient has, people are general think tragedy itself has infinite of attraction, and Hamlet is Shakespeare in Renaissance such a times background Xia creation of tragedy, so works everywhere are full has strong of humanism of color, and check is this humanism and Hamlet painful of life experience, directly caused has hamlet in dream of achieved Shang difficulties, and struggled, special of life experience caused has hamlet delay character of preliminary produced.

2. The era of deep roots

Shakespeare once said that his work is "take a mirror for natural, virtue look at his face, to the absurd look at their attitude, for time and look at his image and imprint of society." Hamlet is a microcosm of the times. As a result of the times from the deep distance makes, let this tragedy cannot be changed continuously inherited from the accumulation itself and end naturally presented the disastrous consequences. This theory of human nature in Shakespeare's early completed the largest hamlet in the shows.

Sudden painful realities and deplorable society directly resulting from the once ambitious, his personality Frank, passionate, warm blooded man into a sullen, doubt, indecisive Prince of revenge. Age of Hamlet as a typical

representative of a microcosm of society as a whole and the Renaissance. His depression, fears and negative anxiety, delays action, revenge, seize Crown loss and his analysis of those around, have a profound artistic condensation.

So, hamlet of tragedy must has deep of times roots, he of life environment is a new old social alternating of middle moments, constantly to declined of feudal lords class and flourish of emerging bourgeois violent to mutual impact, Hamlet as a advanced of humanism who, accept raised and he has long effect raised of deep and behind of thought of feudalism who mutual bound and restricted, this on led to has he must no to weak of situation fight what of determination and fight. From the perspective of historical evolution, new triumphs over the old course is tortuous, winding and full of hardships, Hamlet is typical of Renaissance era protest through his struggle reflects the bourgeois advanced humanistic thought and sharp conflicts between feudal and conservative forces, while harshly criticizing the dark social reality. Therefore, it can be said that Hamlet's ultimate tragedy is not only is he a human tragedy, or is of a family tragedy, but a social tragedy, a tragedy of the times. This shows that the character of Hamlet's delay has profound roots in the era, his character was laid deep times.

IV. Summary(3)(4)

Hamlet at the end of the play is still unable to shake off the yoke of the tragedy, and ultimately to the world and left a contradiction very introspective humanist image. We can say that the tragic fate of Hamlet from the inevitable personality conflicts dictates. However, as Shakespeare said: "one thousand readers there are a thousand eyes of Hamlet." Therefore, every reader in the interpretation of Hamlet's character to character and destiny of contact has its own unique insights. As Shakespeare's Hamlet distinctive character and characters full of moral rhetoric to impress readers. Hamlet is the contradiction between ideal and reality, art on behalf of the individual and social conflict, his tragedy is not only a humanist tragedy is the tragedy of the times.

Admittedly, "Hamlet" is Shakespeare's art treasures left to us, with

endless artistic charm. Hamlet character is formed in addition to its own reasons, as well as the reason of the times. We have to stand a macro point of view, and to get a full understanding of!
