Shakespeare’s Hamlet: a Tragedy of Moral Idealism

Author(s) ARUN KUMAR SINGH
Country India
Abstract Hamlet, it goes without saying, is one of Shakespeare’s major tragedies. There are people who tried to interpret the tragic nature of this play in different ways. The first group of these people holds the view that the hero of this play suffers from the fatal flaw of inaction, and as such Hamlet is called a tragedy of delay or inaction. In support of this view point these people tell us that in spite of what the ghost of his father narrates to Hamlet and in spite of the ghost’s occasional appearance to encourage hamlet to fulfill the mission, he does not kill Claudius. It is difficult to accept this thesis. There are others who maintain that the hero of this play is a sentimental fool, a man of weak nerves, a mere daydreamer, and they therefore suggest that the tragic content of the play lies contained exclusively in sentimentality or nervous collapse. This view also is untenable. Hamlet, then, is neither a tragedy of delay nor of inaction, nor is it a tragedy of sentimental deviation; it is, really speaking, a tragedy of moral idealism. Hamlet is a character who may in all respects be called a moral idealist.
Keywords tragedy, delay, inaction, sentimental fool, moral idealism, meaningful introspection
