I think that one message is about revenge. You sometimes hear people talking about the expression “revenge is sweet.” This play explains how it really isn’t that sweet. During the whole play he is seeking revenge and defiantly acts upon it. His father, the king, gets killed and comes to him as a ghost telling him what happened. From then on Hamlet takes it into his own hands to get revenge. So he sets up a play about the king’s death to try and trap the killer and a bunch of other things that are just bazaar. I mean if I was him I would try to get revenge, but he goes all out. By the end all the characters but about 3 are killed. So is revenge that sweet? No.
Another message this play brings is just how much drama life is. I think this is a great play just showing real life. No joke life is filled with drama, trials and tribulations. Life isn’t easy and this play really shows it. They don’t sugar coat it either. It’s pretty intense. I think that is a good thing though because life really isn’t easy and it can be a crazy and confusing thing. We don’t always know what to do, so it just shows life. How life really can be.
The last thing is, I guess, just betrayal, assumptions and judgment. When you have false accusations it can screw up everything. That’s the same with assuming. You know what will happened if you assume? I think you know that expression so I won’t finish it. I really think that all the above are big problems in life though, and Hamlet really shows it, big time. He assumes, and gives bad and good judgment threw out the whole thing, the death of his father, Ophelia, and just a lot of things. He really should have just stepped back and thought of all the results to his actions. I don’t think he ever would have expected what did happen though. Nothing good happens when you kill.
