In the Name of Love to Exercise the Right to Revenge

The famous French writer Victor Hugo said, â€Å"Hamlet like each of us real, but must be greater than us. He is a giant, is a real person. Since Hamlet is not you, not I, but for all of us. Hamlet is not a person, but people (Victor Hugo Quotes.)†. This means that our body can be seen in the shadow of Hamlet, he is such a real life live around us, familiar and strange. Hamlet is a person, a person who has love, just like us, but when the love is gone, he will revenge his dead loves. Love is the source of power, doesn’t matter the loved one is alive or dead, it will help you to grow up or to be changed. In William Shakespeare’s book â€Å"Hamlet,† the protagonist Hamlet is a prince who watched friend, mother and lover died. So he finally could not†¦show more content†¦Furthermore, the protagonist Hamlet and Laertes are very good friends before, but because of Hamlet accidentally killed Laertes’s father, so everything becomes upset up. But t hey are best friends, so true friendship never fades away, and Hamlet sincerely request Laertes to forgive him. â€Å"Let my disclaiming from a purposed evil/ Free me so far in your most generous thoughts/ That I have shot my arrow o’er the house/ And hurt my brother (Act 5. Sc. 2.255-259). Through the mood, Hamlet shows readers that good friends can understand and forgive each other, not because of dignity or ridiculous face and lost the precious friendship. Just like Hamlet and Laertes, their love between friends in the end still can dissolve the hatred. But Laertes still died in front of his eyes, this is one reason why he can’t oppress himself not to revenge. In addition, the protagonist Hamlet loves his mother deep either. He thought after his father died he would own his mother’s love, but his uncle step into it makes him need to restrain the love again. Because of this, he needs to vent and wants to revolt. The love for her mother blinds his mind, and makes him feel strongly to revenge his uncle for his father. â€Å"Fie on’t, ah fie!’Tis an unweeded garden/ That grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature/ Posses it merely. That it should come to this: / But two months dead-nay, not to my mother/ That he might notShow MoreRelatedWomen Mistreated in the Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez786 Words   |  4 Pageshad openly informed her husband, Bayardo San Roman of this big and shocking news and had courageously put on the veil as she waited for the groom.
