Hamlet’s Soliloquies
Hamlet in Shakespeares Hamlet, the tragic hero reveals his inner conflicts and introspective attitude in each of the lengthy soliloquies in the play. ... Each soliloquy goes further into Hamlets motivations and psyche. Each soliloquy is slightly different, as is all united by vivid imagery, introspective language, and discussion of Hamlets delay of action.
The first soliloquy serves to set the stage for the rest of Hamlets thoughts, feelings, and actions. ... Each aspect of this soliloquy has an integral and conflicting part in Hamlets role. ... In Hamlets eyes Claudius is a beast in comparison to the god-like features of his father. This lays the foundation for Hamlets vengeful intentions. Hamlets also comments on the loving relationship enjoyed by his parents, in disbelief of Gertrudes actions. ...
The second soliloquy concerns Hamlets delay of action. ... Hamlets thoughts are about more than contemplation of suicide. ... Hamlets conscience is making him a coward by not allowing him to kill Claudius without knowing that he is justified without a doubt. Hamlets "pale cast of thoughts" has continuously undermined his resolution, resulting in his inaction, which, in turn, causes him deep turmoil. ... In each of his soliloquies, Hamlet laments on his inability to act in response to his fathers death. ... These soliloquies suggest that Hamlet is more of a scholar than a soldier. ... Although each soliloquy takes a slightly different approach to Hamlets problem, Hamlets essence and character never changes.
