Hamlet character analysis
Hamlet is a very unique character he is made out to be a very depressed and suicidal kid because his father was murdered and his mother married his uncle. In the beginning of the play he goes on about how he wishes he could kill himself and how he despises God for making suicide a sin. Hamlet even has a whole speech based on whether or not he should die or not called "to be or not to be". Everything in his life is falling apart and the only way out Hamlet sees is to die. The reason I believe Hamlet never killed himself was because he wanted to get revenge for his father for whom his uncle poisoned. Towards the end of the play Hamlet becomes less focused on wanting to die and more focused on getting revenge and finding a way to kill his uncle for his father. He becomes more manipulative and evil in the things he does, for example when he confronts Ophelia and breaks her heart she ends up going crazy. Also when he kills Polonius he does it like it was nothing and just drags his body away, proving that he was more evil and heartless than at the beginning of the play.
