Topic > Conflict Analysis in Hamlet - 706

The conflicts in Shakespeare's play Hamlet are very complex and are introduced at many levels. However, there is no conflict more distressing than the internal struggle that Hamlet himself goes through. Hamlet is trying to perform one of the most difficult actions that most people have to endure; he's trying to find out what his identity is. The catalyst of his father's death brings his internal conflict to a head, and his struggle is the foundation upon which Hamlet's background story is built. To begin with, it is evident that Hamlet is struggling with who he is after encountering the ghost of his murdered father. His father asks Hamlet to avenge his death. This revenge includes the murder of Hamlet's uncle, and this in itself is a sin that Hamlet is not sure he is capable of shouldering. Promising the ghost that he would carry out the murder of his uncle, Claudis, Hamlet begins the journey through his inner conflict by acknowledging his discomfort at the unpleasant task, moaning: "'O cursed spite, that I was ever born to set it right!'” Once again, the war within Hamlet is shown when he confronts the talented actor, saying, “'He would flood the stage with tears... he would frighten the free... Yet I, a dull... scoundrel... not pregnant with my cause... I may say nothing.'” It is further specified with the words “'Am I a coward?'” Hamlet must strive to find further evidence that his uncle is guilty, thinking that “'…the spirit which [he] saw might be a devil, and the devil…abuses to damn him.'” His thoughts on the morality of murder fluctuate, and up to this point Hamlet has not yet set in motion a plan to actually avenge the death of his father. The height of Hamlet's inner anguish is shown when he speaks... in the middle of the paper... the severity of this identity crisis is the reason why it spreads into everyday life, and almost every action is based on this conflict. It happened to Hamlet, and it is currently happening to teenagers in the modern world. In conclusion, the internal conflict that prevails in Hamlet causes the repercussions of his father's death to multiply and end in the death of his loved ones. , and a final epiphany in the final moments of his life. Insecurity, the question of whether it is better to "be or not to be", changes the lives of everyone who comes into contact with Hamlet and improves the general appearance of the play itself. Without this conflict, the work would simply be a story of revenge, and not a dramatic tragedy that masterfully observes both the positive and negative aspects of the human mind and its ability to behave in stressful situations.
