Abstract | Shakespeare's Hamlet remains a captivating enigma. This paper delves into the psychology of this iconic character, employing a multifaceted approach to unravel the layers of his complex mind. We explore the impact of King Hamlet's ghost, acting as a catalyst for revenge and a symbol of unresolved grief. Further, Hamlet's introspective soliloquies unveil his intellectual wrestling with existential questions and the burden of action. The paper examines his strategic use of feigned madness as a defence mechanism while navigating the treacherous Danish court. Additionally, it analyzes the concept of the tragic flaw, with indecisiveness and overthinking potentially leading to his downfall. Hamlet's relationships with the women in the play, particularly Gertrude and Ophelia, offer further insights into his internal conflicts and his struggle with female sexuality and desire for power. By examining these various aspects – the ghost, soliloquies, deception, the tragic flaw, and his complex relationships – this paper aims to contribute to a richer understanding of Hamlet's psychology, ultimately revealing the tragic hero in all his complexity. |
