Isaac Perez Essays - Culture, Arts, Literature, Characters In Hamlet

Isaac Perez English 102 1) Hamlets most notable traits are that he is thoughtful, he's doubtful, he is full of hatred for his uncle, and at times known for impulsive behavior. I see these traits as both positive and negative. Hamlet was looking for revenge for the death of his father and once he found out who it was he knew he had to kill him. These traits helped him fulfill his revenge against his uncle but they also made him get banished form Denmark. 2) 3) I do think that Hamlet is a sympathetic character because he wants revenge for what his uncle did to his dad and mom, and that revenge drives him to want to kill him. Hamlet is also a young character and he feels that he has to kill his uncle because if he doesn't he will live on knowing that he did nothing to avenge the death of his parents. The only part that I find myself disagreeing with Hamlet is when he finds his uncle praying and he doesn't kill him then and there and thats where I disagree with him. I think he should have just killed him there even though he was praying and possibly could have avoided his mother dying as well. 4) Hamlet gets mad at Ophelia because she lies to him, she tells Hamlet that her father is at home when Hamlet knows that is not true and, he also knows that Ophelia is spying on him for her father and whatever he tells her, Ophelia's father will find out. It doesn't really change my view for him because Hamlet has been through a lot with he finding out who killed his father and Ophelia lying to I feel like it's a lot to handle for him because he is so young. 5) Hamlet has changed a lot since he returned to the castle.
