The Message of Hamlet Hamlet shows a mound of sadness and also contemplates suicide. He is very confused with his feelings and his depression has brought down his spirits, but Hamlet uses a mask of pride to hide all of this from the naked eye. The many events which have occurred, has made thinking straight for Hamlet difficult. His plans of avenging his founding fathers death are unraveling beforehis eyes and he is not in the right state of mind to stipulate things. Hamlet may be very proud but it is obvious he is very depressed and confused with life O God, God, How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable front to me all the uses of this world (I ii 32-34) First of all, Hamlet comes home to a dead father and the re-marriage of his mother to his uncle, Claudius We pray you throw to earth This unprevailing woe, and think of us as a father, for let the world take note you are the most immediate to our throne. (I ii, 106-109) All of this has been a huge negative shock to Hamlet. He d oes not understand the events which have taken place. Hamlets mother re-marring makes mourning his fathers death all the more than difficult. He does not understand why his mother would re-marry so soon after the death of her husband especially the fact that its to his uncle, Claudius. All of this has caused a lot of anger and sadness inside of Hamlet. All of his feelings have become unbearable and bottled up. He begins to lose control of his life. It has also caused him to feel a lot of hatred towards his mother. He also feels hatred towards Claudius and blames him, for their marriage. Hamlets hatred does not stop with his mother and Claudius he begins to see women as less due(p) to his mothers actions. When Hamlet thought things could not get any worse, the ghost of his father appears, revealing his murderer The serpent that did sting thy fathers life outright wears his crown (I v 39-40) Hamlet was not at all surprised to find that his fathers murderer was his own uncle O my pr ophetic reason (I v 41) Although Hamlet and two others saw the ghost with their own eyes, Hamlet was still reluctant to believing. Hamlet was the only one to hear the words of his fathers ghost.
