On the journey through the path of life, there are encounters with many different incidents and situations where we must act accordingly. Depending on what type of personality is aquired, there are numerous ways that we can deal with these encounters. In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the main character is confronted with a group of dilemmas and is in emotional distress. The ghost that encounters Hamlet, the monarchs’ incest, and the thought of murder, are the major conflicts, which he must deal with one way or another. As a result of these three issues, as well as Hamlet’s particular character, he handles these issues internally, which causes internal struggle and a inactive response. In Hamlet, the incest involving his mother and uncle triggered the action, which took place within Hamlet. First off, Hamlet was in deep grief with the death of his father, and very angered of the quick re-marriage of his mother. On top of all of that, the fact that Hamlet’s mother wed his uncle, made matters even worse. In Act I, scene II, line 129-159, Hamlet reveals what is on his troubled mind. He closes off by saying, “With such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come too good. But break my heart, for I must hold my tongue.” This reveals Hamlet’s true feelings regarding the marriage and how he bottles up his emotions and keeps them to himself.
