The play Hamlet by William Shakespeare may be described as the tragedy of grief due to many situations of grievance. We glimpse numerous instances of sorrow in Hamlet. There are three different categories that cause grief in this play; love, death, and revenge.
Initially, after each of murders, every son had the definite course of activity to get vengeance. Or in Hamlet's case alternative was to seek no vengeance. As play unfolds, each young man advances desire for revenge and selects the distinct route in direction of gaining it founded on guidance of another feature in play. Fortinbras good decisions and self-control, as well as, Hamlet and Laertes bad decisions can be attributed to outside guidance they receive (Bester 2005 57).
Hamlet had the more powerful conscience than Fortinbras or Laertes; therefore, he gave most considered to his scheme of revenge. Even after Hamlet concludes to murder Claudius, he continues to question how his revenge will sway himself, as well as, King. In Hamlet to be, or not to be soliloquy, he states, Thus conscience does make cowards of us all (III.i.83). By conscience, Hamlet is mentioning to looking into his mind and feelings. Hamlet is saying his conscience is in turmoil; his world is dropping apart. Although he doubts penalties of killing Claudius it seems like he feels obligated by guilt to extend with his design.
Because of blame his father put upon him, Hamlet is overwhelm with rage. Now, he not only wants to kill Claudius, but he wants to ensure that Claudius will go to hell when he is killed (Bester Alfred 2000 96). In the vain attempt to slay monarch Claudius Hamlet inadvertently murders Polonius. Even after all very cautious consideration Hamlet provided to planning his revenge he makes that dangerous mistake.
