Personal heroism thesis
After reading Hamlet, the newspaper said, "If there are a thousand audiences, there are a thousand Hamlets." This sentence has been circulating for a long time and aroused my infinite curiosity. When the book Hamlet finally came before me, I opened it like a magic box, surprised and attracted by it. I seem to have gone to the Danish royal family, grew up with Hamlet and watched him change from a hopeful and happy prince to a melancholy prince. A terrible pain hit me, and tears flowed freely on my face. My heart is broken for the poor prince and I weep for the ugly soul of mankind. The prince once said in college: "Man is the spirit of all things." He believes that the world is pure and beautiful, his parents' relationship is the most harmonious among human beings, and his father is the most perfect king. He thinks his world is as pure as a virgin, without a grain of sand. However, when the prince returned to Denmark, his world changed completely, and darkness enveloped him, eroding his purity. Father died, mother remarried, and uncle ascended the throne. This series of blows confused his thoughts. With the appearance of ghosts, the truth comes out! The light disappeared from his world completely, and the heavy burden fell on the prince's ruthless shoulder. He knows that his responsibility is not only revenge, but also to reorganize Gan Kun. If the prince is willing to ask for help at this time, maybe history will be rewritten. But the prince advocates personal heroism, and because of religious thoughts, he delays again and again and misses the opportunity to kill the enemy again and again. In the end, he abandoned his relatives and died with his enemies, and the Danish royal family was destroyed. This not only reminds me of Xiang Yu, he is also a personal hero, who likes to be brave and does not rely on the strength of others. At the hongmen banquet, he had an excellent opportunity to kill liu bang. However, he also repeatedly refused to drive the tiger back to the mountains, which eventually led to the tragic ending of being besieged on all sides and committing suicide in Wujiang River. Hamlet and Xiang Yu both had many opportunities to reverse Gan Kun and change the ending, but they missed them again and again. These are all due to their personalities, but these are also their hunger curses. They are all aboveboard heroes, from whom we can see the truth, goodness and beauty of human beings. Maybe the prince is only suitable for living in a bright and pure world. Before he died, he might see A Ring of Endless Light. Hamlet also cherishes his feelings very much. When he pretended to be crazy to escape the busy persecution, he still couldn't help thinking of Ophelia and couldn't bear to make him suffer because of his madness. At the risk of being suspected by the king, he wrote him a little poem: doubt that the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun does not move; Suspicion is a liar; But never doubt my love. That's it. Hamlet constructed his own tragedy in his choice of fate. It turned out that he could completely succumb to his own fate and not explore the truth of his father's death. But Hamlet's character does not allow him to live a mediocre life with a question, so he resolutely embarked on the road of finding the truth. "The unknown will exist behind me!" In this world where there is no yardstick to measure good and evil except the goal, is it the eternal charm of Hamlet to make a brave choice and then accept his fate frankly? Of all Shakespeare's works, Hamlet is probably the most controversial and striking one. At the age of sixteen, you may be moved to tears by Romeo and Juliet, but you find The Tempest inexplicable. When you are 60 years old, you may be deeply moved by the mystery of the latter, but the former can no longer stir up waves in your heart ... But no matter at that stage of your life, when you live a rich and profound spiritual life, when you upgrade your personality and rediscover a brand-new yourself, you can always find something that seems to belong to eternity and immortality in Hamlet. Because he is talking about the choice of life, he is talking about the life choice made by a person living in a specific historical and living environment in the face of a fate that is unique to him personally and universal to all mankind. Only when the limited experience accumulated from the past can be relied on or relied on can we choose the life path. In a sense, his experience also represents our experience, and the fate he faces is something we have to face at some stage of our lives. Faced with the existence of despair, we seek truth in contradictions, seek truth in fog, act in difficulties, and rebuild the value system and spiritual building in a world that has lost standards and measurable standards. Hamlet is a masterpiece of Shakespeare's tragedy. It has reached an unprecedented depth and breadth in ideological content, and profoundly revealed the evil and essential characteristics of the society at the end of feudalism. As far as the inner expression of the characters is concerned, Hamlet is the most confusing, or the most philosophical. Among them, the father was murdered by an evil uncle, the throne was usurped, the mother married the murderer with incest, and the Crown Prince attempted revenge, pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, etc., which can be seen in ancient Nordic legends, especially the Danish History written by Danish historians. These dusty original materials originally recorded only some rough plots and pale names, and had no character in action, but in Shakespeare's works, readers found themselves living among a group of lively people, almost related to their leisure and their fate. What is particularly incredible is that a brilliant model that has amazed the world for hundreds of years has appeared. Many questions can be asked around this hero. For example, is Hamlet really crazy or fake crazy? What is the typical meaning of this character? None of these problems can be solved by the plot alone. To fully understand and correctly evaluate the central figure in this play, we must fully take care of the complexity of the contradiction between his personality and environment, from the words "the times are misplaced, too bad, I was born to straighten out" to "to be or not to be, this is a question worth thinking about", and understand the whole psychological background of his despair and sigh. In fact, Hamlet's embarrassment lies in his delicate and sensible heart, shouldering the heavy responsibility that is not commensurate with his own behavioral ability. In Goethe's words: "This is an oak tree planted in a vase for me. It should only have delicate flowers." Hamlet, a pure, noble, moral, knowledgeable and determined person, who can only replace behavior with thoughts and cannot be a hero, is a "vase"; Then he can't afford it, there is almost no hope, but he can't shirk the heavy responsibility of revenge, that is, "oak tree." Once the root of the "oak tree" swells, the "vase" will be crushed, which is a tragedy. In Hamlet, the fragility of human beings and the cruelty of the environment are so antagonistic and complementary that this unique figure is dense in connotation and profound in extension. Just like this, some experts claim that Hamlet is not an objective and outdated role, but each of us. Shakespeare belongs to the whole century, not an era. His plays are like the big dipper in the bright starry sky, guiding people. "To be or not to be, this is a question worth considering." He put forward this question, which is the basic proposition of philosophy. Because what happened to him just now caused him to think about the philosophy of life, he wouldn't think about it when everything went well in his life. At that time, he only saw the bright side of life, and life at that time was undoubtedly beautiful. Now, the sudden tragedy forces him to face up to the dark side of life and the ugly side of human nature. It can be said that Hamlet still has a deep understanding of the dark side of life. He just turned a blind eye to all this in the past. Now the cruel reality forced him to face all this. He had a premonition that he was inevitably dragged into a tragic fate. If his father was really killed, then revenge for his father became his bounden mission in his life. His enemy is the king today, so it is not easy to kill him, but no matter how difficult it is, it is inevitable to kill his father. His current task is to come up with a clever way to verify whether his uncle killed his father. Conspiracy, conspiracy and killing are against Hamlet's kind and innocent nature, but they are also necessary for his revenge mission. Hamlet in In the Mood for Love bears a heavy mission of revenge on his back. His heart is full of hatred all day, which makes his heart dark and heavy, and he has fallen into the abyss of pain. The "heavy concern for death" has made us all cowards, and the persistent red-hot brilliance has been cast a gray by careful thinking. Under this consideration, the great cause will also retreat against the current. Lost the meaning of action. "Hamlet's doubts about life and death also show that he hesitated in the future revenge action and missed an easy revenge opportunity. That's just because killing him may send him to heaven while praying for revenge, which is too cheap for him. The description of this kind of psychological activity shows his philosophical thinking on the fundamental questions that life cannot answer, which can be said to be of universal significance to all mankind.
