Hamlet

            
             Throughout history, and in the present, people have been victimized and wronged in many ways that other people cannot comprehend. Some people are victims of murder, betrayal, envy, and even mass destruction killings. All of the victims of these situations are thousands of innocent people whose lives have been ruined. The story of the Holocaust is an example of millions of people who were victims only because of their race or disability. The Holocaust was one of the deeper times that evil has roared its ugly head and presented itself in the shape of people who disregard the fact that humans should be treated with respect. But long before the Holocaust, there was a young man named Hamlet whose story was more personal and tragic than other stories. Hamlet's dads own brother murdered him, out of envy and desire for the crown. Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, then gets the crown and marries Hamlet's mother. When Hamlet's dad comes back as a ghost and tells Hamlet who killed him, something inside of Hamlet seems to awaken which proceeds with an overflow of anger. When Hamlet realizes he is a victim in his own household, he plots Claudius's death. He spends most of the play scheming of ways he could get Claudius and those thoughts soon torment him. Hamlet's problem is that he is too conscientious. He thinks and cares too much, and his thoughts are what keep him from acting. His thinking leads him to be consumed with hatred towards Claudius. This hatred is what eventually blinds him. His knowledge does him no good because he cannot act on it. The same hatred that took over Claudius while killing Hamlet's dad, is now taking over Hamlet.
             Since Hamlet has been wronged and violated, he felt as if he should be made right. He tries everything that he can to make all of the wrongs right, but they all back fire on him and cause his destruction. The reason why he cannot do the right things on his own is because he is blinded by his hatred.
