Hamlet's Death Mourning Producing a Fatal EndIt is an innate human quality to fear death and what is to come; it is the fear of suffering and anguish. People usually mourn the loss of a friend or loved one. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet's obsessive thoughts regarding the deaths of others lead to his timely demise. The deaths of his father, Ophelia, and Polonius have different impacts on Hamlet's state of mind. His father's death sparks vengeful thoughts aimed at killing the king. Ophelia's death distorts the vision of Hamlet's death. The death of Polonius shows the repercussions of Hamlet's aggressive impulse. Clearly, Hamlet is fascinated by death throughout the play. Although this is deeply rooted in his character, his obsessive thoughts are a product of ongoing grief. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet learns of his father's brutal murder from a ghost. Hamlet cries and considers action but fails. Instead, he plots his revenge and waits for the perfect moment to avenge King Hamlet. The ghost of Hamlet's father inspires Hamlet to seek revenge who would otherwise consider the subject to death.,GHOST: Revenge for his dastardly and most unnatural murder.HAMLET: Murder? GHOST: Murder is most vile, as in the best case, /But it is most loathsome, strange and unnatural. HAMLET: Hurry me and find out; that I, with wings as swift as meditation or thoughts of love, may fly to my vengeance (I, v, 25-31). Notably, the ghost tells Hamlet to enact his revenge in the opening scenes of the play; he seems hesitant, as if questioning death for the first time. Hamlet wants to make sure that Claudius actually killed his father, so he puts on a play to re-enact the crime scene and, to Hamlet's content, Claudius displays...... middle of paper ...... death of him. Hamlet's obsession and many thoughts about death set him in the undesirable direction of suffering with the deaths of his father, Ophelia, and Polonius, all of whom he believed to be unworthy. His willingness to continually find himself in situations that inflict a lot of emotional stress on him is astonishing, and his change in attitude towards his indecision over killing is not beneficial, on the contrary, it kills him in the end. Having a healthy fear of death is normal – understanding that death is inevitable, while constantly thinking about death creates unhealthy anxiety. An overdose of thoughts related to death will disrupt the mind with fear of pain or suffering. Too much fear of death has the effect of over-amplifying stress in a normal situation. Staying at a level of death awareness is healthy and can help you stay alive longer.
