Free Hamlet Essays: Hamlet the Anti-Hero :: GCSE English Literature Coursework

crossroads the Anti-Hero    village certainly isnt a bomber in this play. He exhibits many of his weaknesses that contradict other(a) characters in the play. A hero is a person who shows great courage through his actions and single who is noble and self-sacrificing. He does exhibit courage in split the likes of when the ghost came and Hamlet followed it, but yet he certainly isnt self-sacrificing. He sacrifices other characters lives to benefit his chance of take a shitting revenge with Claudius. I archetype Hamlet was a selfish, self centered, weak and crazy person. How can you gripe a person a hero after killing friends and family in order to get what one regards? Hamlet can be a very smart and noble person but in parts of the play he exhibited actions that are completely opposite of the person he can be. He acted with a sense of madness that made me rally he was actually going mad. He acted obnoxious and annoying to other characters in the play. Here is a s cene where Hamlet is talking to Polonius and they get into a little argument over what figure a fog forms. Polonius My lord, the Queen would speak with you and presently. Hamlet Do you see yonder cloud that is almost in the shape of a camel? Polonius By th Mass, and tis like a camel indeed. Hamlet Me thinks its like a weasel. Polonius It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet Or like a whale. Polonius Very like a whale. (page 161, toy 3, Scene 2, lines 404-412) I thought Hamlet demonstrated his madness greatly here because it seemed like Polonius knew he was mad and just played along. Polonius didnt want Hamlet to get annoyed because Polonius disagreed with him. If Polonius didnt have any idea that Hamlet was going mad he probably would have said something closely what Hamlet was talking about and would have asked him why he was playing like he was. Polonius also would have done something to change the elbow room he had been acting or help him out. Hamlet showed many of his weakne sses in this play. He exhibited some of his weaknesses in the choices he makes and the actions he does. He acts earlier he thinks, in other words he makes a set off before he sits and thinks about it. Like the scene when Hamlet killed Polonius.
