Shakespeare’s Hamlet: A Conflicted Demonstration

Though Claudia also upset this coiffe by murdering King village), for village to even consider killing Claudia, he crosses a moral taboo. Furthermore, when the ghost charges Hamlet to Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder and Hamlet accepts, replying Haste me to Knott, that I with wings as fleet/ As meditation or the thoughts of love/ May sweep to my revenge, he once again disregards the Christian value system that asserts Judgment and penalization to be only the decline of God, and not of man.Hamlets only redeeming action, Is that later on contemplating To be, or not to be, he does not inevitably commit felo-de-se a goal denied Christian burial. Secondly a sense of right and wrong can be derived from common sense, logic and the sense of right and wrong. In this regard, Hamlet displays no moral integrity, as he firstly used Aphelia by displaying to her a faked antic disposition (ACTA, Sac. To which she was so freighted (ACTA, SSL) before allowing her to believe that he r love had been betrayed when he stated I love you not to her reply, l was the more deceived (Act, SSL After this, when granted the opportunity to kill Polonium, Now I might do it pat he refrains because the victim now a is a-praying and the murder therefore would send him o heaven. He shows no mercy, deciding to Walt till later when he is behaving In a way That has no relish of salvation Inner choosing then to trip him that his heels may kick at heaven, And that his soul may be damned and black, As hell whereto It goes (ACTA, IS). It is possible however, that this example of postponing the revenge is an indicator that Hamlet was perhaps reluctant, and did not truly wish to kill him. This indicator of repressed guilt is also shown in ACTA Scenes where Hamlet states I am myself indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things, that it ere break in my mother had not borne me. I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts t o put them in, imagination to give them shape, or season to act them in.Finally, a Judgment of moral integrity can hit place when witnessing Hamlets response to local laws. In this he varied. By Hamlet deciding to take Claudia life In exchange for his fathers, he was sideline the pagan value systems of the era which accepted an eye for an eye. However, on discovering that Guilelessness and be struck off (ACTA, IS), he stole the commission, and illegally replaced it with a assume harming that Without debasement further, more, or less, He should those bearers put to sudden death, Not shriving prison term allowed.Despite the action saving his life, Hamlet both broke a law, and ensured the death of those who once were his friends. Therefore, though it appears Hamlet believed he must extract his revenge, and at times showed unwillingness to do so, by this action and the behavior he used to carry it out Hamlet betrayed the religious rules, logic, common sense, conscience and law of t he Elizabethan era, Hamlet displayed an at best conflicted, and at worst absent moral integrity.
