Hamlet
Lesson Outline
Today we concluded our analysis of Hamlet by tracing his psychological journey from a young man with a moral imperative -revenge- to a disinterested nihilist. We first reviewed Hamlet's earlier declaration that "a divinity shapes our ends, "followed by his final declaration of "let it be." We explored the significance of "let it be" in the context of disinterest or not caring. Given Hamlet's nihilistic tendencies , he concludes that values are meaningless or illusions and hence so is revenge which assumes the existence of moral values.. Joshua interestingly noted ,however, that Hamlet simultaneously is worried how posterity will view him and similarly wants to ensure that Fortinbras takes the throne.In the final analysis, we see Hamlet as one of the most complex characters in literature.
