Module 3 Hamlet's Inner Struggle

 In Hamlet, the murdered king was deceived by his brother who lusted over his wife. Leaving the princes Hamlet to deal with the ghostly apparition and the anger he had inside drove him to levels of insanity. Having the ghost of your father pointing out the cruel and violent death over and over set Hamlet into a paranoid schizophrenia psychosis guesting everything that was happening.

The way that others treated him in the royal palace was to guide (force) him in directions that would cause him to become accepting of what happened and become a tool of the royal family. He took his free time and drilled down the many traitorous things that lead to the demise of his father and the steps taken to claim the throne. The thought of demons and devils playing tricks on his mind came to light very frequently, shifting eyes from friends and the royal court fueled his uncertain heart and questioning his own sanity and demonic tortures.

The "help" of his friends was not always helpful to Hamlet. Everyone plaid a role in bringing down the crown of Denmark. The major mistakes that Hamlet made caused motions that would eventually lead everyone to ruin, down to Hamlet himself. The destruction of his love, the betrayal he felt from his royal family, the whispering questions surrounding him at all times must have been insurmountable.

As Hamlet played out the story of death to all, the king and Queen realized this play as an accusation and a direct pointing to the newly crowned King as a murderer. The guilt, rage, and challenge to his new thrown fueled a plan to focus on taking out Hamlet next. This dance of death had begun between the King and Hamlet with no sign of letting up or having a positive outlook when all was done. from this point, all bets were off and the infliction of pain towards self-preservation began.

No one was safe from the horrific steps that we set before them all. From the death of the king due to lustful actions and power-mongering, the King's brother marrying the queen, to the murder of Hamlet's lover's father, to the continuation throughout the play of deceit and ultimately the entire royal family dying in the final scene.

   What is Enlightenment? Is what I like to call the age of self-actualization is how I would like to define it, which is the period trailing the Renaissance into the Middle Ages.      Having viewed and studied history throughout the time periods, this was time for a revolution. Revolution of the mind, asking ourselves the bigger questions, and trying to combine what was civilizations have learned so far and mapping out our next steps.   Where does it fit in the broader picture of European and/or World history? Understanding that many of the ideals we claim to hold dear and true are not from the Western world. In fact, it is more Asiatic (EuroAsia), the between of outer Europe and the beginnings of Asia. This is what many historians called the old world (East meets West). The old world it was, the beginning of written history, scholars, libraries, monuments to human achievements, and the quest of immortality in seeking god-like status. Understan...
