The artistic image and personality characteristics of Hamlet created by Shakespeare follow the characteristics of tragic art, thus making Hamlet a great success.
In Hamlet, an immortal drama, there is always a series of fierce conflicts between good and evil. As the protagonist of the play, Hamlet's fate is inevitably in the whirlpool of such fierce contradictions and conflicts.
As a prince, Hamlet was portrayed by Shakespeare as a typical example of the beauty of life. He is young, handsome, determined and brave. He loves his country, his father and mother, and his beloved lover, Mr. Filja. It can be said that his life is at the best moment of his life. However, this wonderful life time disappeared in an instant. What kind of environment is he in? We can see that the Danish court at that time was in chaos, the old king died strangely, the queen remarried to the new king, the foreign enemy was under pressure, the domestic public sentiment was on the verge of exploding, and the palace was drinking and having fun all night, all of which cast a huge shadow on Hamlet's young and beautiful life, thus making him unhappy and thinking that the world was just "a barren and incurable garden full of malignant weeds". With the appearance of the ghost of the old king, the inside story of the court was uncovered and revealed. ...
In the face of the sinister new king, Hamlet began to take revenge alone: for revenge, he killed his lover's father by mistake; In order to get revenge, he pretended to be crazy and lost his beloved lover; In retaliation, he was very unfriendly to his weak mother; For revenge, he endured the pain of losing his friendship. Finally, in a bloody court duel, although he killed the sinister new king, his life ended in this "prison"-like court.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for people to see." As a prince deeply loved by the masses, Hamlet has the ability to rectify the situation, govern the country and avenge himself. But in the face of the powerful feudal forces represented by the sinister and treacherous new king, as a bourgeois humanist, he always regarded this cause closely related to the people as personal hatred and fought alone. Therefore, his tragedy is not only a tragedy of the conflict between truth, goodness and beauty and evil forces, but also a tragedy of the humanist era.
The reason why the image of Hamlet has a strong tragic beauty lies in the contradictions and conflicts that constitute all this. Tragedy expresses its affirmation of truth, goodness and beauty by revealing the inevitability of conflict and destroying valuable things. Hamlet won the moral victory over the old system and the old forces with his own death, tragic but not pessimistic, which made people feel a new life from the protagonist through tragedy and saw a ray of light in dark kingdom.
