Theme of the work:

In the play "Hamlet", Hamlet's attitude towards fate changes several times, and even seems inconsistent. Hamlet initially believed that fate was fickle, neither promoting good nor punishing evil, but bringing disaster to noble people. Like Machiavelli, he cursed fate as a "whore" and expressed in a monologue that he would stand up against "the tyranny of fate."

But after experiencing a "mutation", Hamlet turned to trusting God completely. Given Hamlet's initial intense dissatisfaction and anger at his fate, this sudden change cannot but be surprising. What kind of thoughts on fate does Hamlet's changing views on fate contain in Shakespeare?

Although Hamlet, cursing fate, looks like Machiavelli, Shakespeare later highlights the differences. By showing Hamlet's two views on fate, Shakespeare not only denies the two extreme views on fate, but also shows the correct attitude towards fate: human misfortune is not attributed to any external chance, but to personal Nature and choice.

In the play, Hamlet plays many roles at the same time. He seems to be a philosopher, an avenger and a dramatist at the same time. However, after encountering the accident, Hamlet first failed to control his grief and anger, and then repeatedly complained about the unfair fate. This is a big problem for Hamlet, the prince of Denmark. Hamlet's view of fate reveals his flaws.
