Our personal response to William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" (1603) draws on our knowledge of the composer's contextual and political milieu, which helps to highlight aspects of the human condition that permeate not only Elizabethan England but also our modern context. Shakespeare uses a variety of dramatic and linguistic techniques to explore elements of human nature. Thus, through the textual integrity of the play, Shakespeare is able to strike a chord with contemporary audiences as we also consider the perilous nature of human attributes such as deception, corruption, and mortality. Corruption is central to the textual integrity of Hamlet, as it reflects the political tension that took place during the Elizabethan period. At the same time, Hamlet analyzes death as a destined part of life and thus, this existential questioning gives the play its literary value. This is particularly significant in Hamlet's well-known soliloquy "To be or not to be", in which Hamlet philosophizes using metaphors, whether it is nobler to accept the fate "to suffer the slings and arrows of a scandalous fortune”, to fight destiny “to take up arms against a sea of ​​troubles”, or perhaps to fight destiny by ending life “by opposing it, end it”. Hamlet first sees death as preferable to life, illustrated by the iambic line "For who would bear the whips and scorns of time" before listing the problems that make life a burden, this is however taken further through the metaphor “the unknown country/no traveler returns,” where Hamlet forces us to consider the uncertainty of death. Not only is this a philosophical and religious debate, but what Hamlet says is a fundamental question for humanity. Through Shakespeare's use of soliloquy, we gain an in-depth insight into Hamlet's mind and his personal dilemmas, allowing us to understand his struggle with his conscience. As we also emphasize with his dilemma of futile values ​​and Christian morality, the staging is also used to emphasize the black humor "he digs and sings", contrasting with the image of the gravedigger singing at work "This Does man have no feelings...? » It is in Act 1, Scene 2, that Claudius appears to be an able king, demonstrated by his eloquent language: "Though Hamlet is dead, our dear brother...to bear our hearts in sorrow", indeed , our initial reading of Claudius creates the face of a man who is good for the country. However, Claudius' true essence is revealed through the juxtaposition of "an auspicious eye and a drooping eye", alluding to his dual personality. This reinforces the “you can smile and smile and be a bad guy” paradox. As a result, Shakespeare is able to explore appearance versus reality, where many of Hamlet's characters put on facades for personal gain, echoing humanity's capacity for deception. Mirroring this, we find Hamlet's adoption of an "antique disposition" which accentuates a feigning of madness in order to pursue his revenge safely "though it be madness, yet there is a method in there.” Thus, Shakespeare colors our understanding and encourages reflection on the human being's capacity for deception..
