Hamlet was a Danish prince who studied in Germany. As a royal family, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of the country, but he was not accustomed to the social atmosphere of Danish singing and dancing. The king died unexpectedly, and the queen remarried to the new king (Hamlet's uncle), Hamlet felt that the funeral after the funeral was extremely inappropriate, did not agree with his mother's desperate feelings, but could not find a suitable way to stop it.
Until the soul of his deceased father reappears, Hamlet learns the truth about his father's death and is determined to take revenge and take back the throne from his uncle. The process of revenge twists and turns, pretending to be crazy and stupid, forced to go to England, accidentally kills the father of his sweetheart Ophelia, who goes mad and drowns.
The king wants to get rid of Hamlet and encourages Ophelia's brother Leotis to seek out Hamlet to avenge his father and sister. With poisoned wine and poisoned swords prepared, Hamlet won, and according to Danish customs, wine was celebrated, and poisoned wine could get rid of him. If Hamlet can't defeat Leotis, he will be injured by Leotis's sword, and the poisonous sword will make him die.
Hamlet and Leotis were designed to duel and were eventually defeated, with the queen drinking poisoned wine and dying, and Hamlet was poisoned even though he stabbed the king to death. Jade burning revenge, who is the final winner?
This is a tragedy. When the truth comes out, the protagonist of the story is not spared.
Hamlet avenges his father, accidentally stabs his sweetheart's father, drives his sweetheart crazy, indirectly kills his mother and himself, and the revenge is successful, and everything is over. It's like we blindly pursue the outcome of the event, but ignore the people and things we experience on the middle way, and when we reach the end, the event is not necessarily the end we expect.
So, what kind of life is meaningful?
As the book says, survival or destruction is a question worth considering; which of the two acts is braver, the one that silently endures the tyrannical poison of fate, or the endless suffering of those who stand up to rebel and end everything in the struggle?
Hamlet chose the latter, and on the hesitant and ill-clever path of revenge, even if the power disparity was great, he bravely accepted the challenge of fate and fought back against his uncle's persecution. The ending is tragic and magnificent, and he paid the price of his life to practice his interpretation of life: to live, you must not be afraid of difficulties and go all out.
Ophelia is unlucky, she falls in love with a man who is not willing to be at the mercy of fate, a man who lives in his own world. Queen Gertrude was also unfortunate, her husband was killed, she was forced to sleep with her enemies, and her only son could not save himself.
Hamlet is intoxicated by the great plan of revenge, ignoring the two women who love him, and although their misfortune is not caused by him, they step by step in his disregard and become the sacrifice of revenge.
Polonius is the new king's dog leg, and after learning that Hamlet likes his daughter, he firmly opposes it, and what happiness can a king give his daughter a thorn in his eye that he wants to remove at any time? The kind Ophelia is an opinionless daughter who listens to her father and keeps a distance from Hamlet.
In order to find out the truth about his father's death, Hamlet pretends to be crazy and stupid, and through a comedy, he tries to find out that his uncle is indeed related to his father's death. In the process of seeking verification with her mother, her mother felt the sin of marrying someone else immediately after her husband's death, and she felt great guilt for her behavior, but at this point, what choice could she make?
Ophelia weakly withdrew from Hamlet's world, and the sweet words of the past were returned to him. Gertrude's fidelity to her husband may have been buried in the earth at the moment of the king's funeral. They silently endured the tyrannical poison of fate and did not receive God's favor.
Endured the suffering of fate, but missed the hope of life.
Hamlet is a stupid Avenger. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to walk on the tiger mountains is an ode to courage, a recklessness with a huge disparity in strength, and also a bad consequence of self-inadequacy. Fight back with all your might, the process is tragic, the ending is tragic, who is the final winner?
Everybody is at fault, no one wins. Perhaps, the choice between life and death is not so easy.
However, I appreciate Hamlet's determination, going against the current may not be successful, but going with the flow is by no means a brave survival posture.
