Hamlet’s Deteriorating World View

This analysis explores Hamlet's complex worldview, which unravels throughout the play. Hamlet's embrace of madness serves as a façade for his deeper uncertainties and contemplations on revenge, especially after his father's murder. His morbid curiosity about death and decay is encapsulated in his reflections on mortality. The metaphor of the "unweeded garden" symbolizes the corruption in Denmark. Additionally, themes of honour, the portrayal of women, and the tragic elements of premeditated actions highlight the depth of Hamlet's internal struggles.

  2. Madness/Insanity: “As I perchance hereafter shall think meet/To put an antic disposition on...” (I.v.172-173)

  3. Revenge:“Does it not, think’st thee, stand me now upon-/He that hath kill’d my king, and whored my mother;...is’t not perfect conscience/To quit him with this arm?” (V.ii.64-68)

  4. Death:“How long will a man lie I’ the earth ere he rot?” (V.i.158)
