this generalization is very convincing. But the teacher's explanation about Hamlet's hesitation is not accurate. Of course, the reason for inaccuracy is not because the teacher has a problem with his level, but because he has just experienced whdgm and knows the serious consequences of expressing his personal views. According to the routine given in the reference book, it is easy and will not be blamed for it.
This is a philosophy of survival to preserve our sanity. Intellectuals in China will.
I still remember his explanation at that time: Hamlet hesitated because he was divorced from the masses and his strength was too weak in the face of feudal rulers.
In fact, this is not the reason for Hamlet's hesitation. Shakespeare created the incomparable Hamlet after others had already created the image of Hamlet, because he injected humanity into this image, making Hamlet not only an avenger, but also a person who tried to launch a coup, or a timid person.
That's why people say that a thousand readers can read a thousand Hamlets.
This is why Hamlet is not The Count of Monte Cristo, The Cowherd, or hongyan, but it is far superior in quality to these later works.
In Hamlet, Hamlet's mission is to avenge his father, but the problem is that the object of revenge is not the enemy in the general sense, but the person who is directly related to himself. This involves family ties and ethics. As a young prince, there is a huge conflict between rationality and humanity in his heart, so that when he raised his sword, he clearly told himself that he was going to kill his uncle, and when he put down his sword and left, he felt ashamed to be a son and ashamed of his father. So, people all over the world saw Hamlet wandering alone on the stage, saying the famous saying that has been circulating for centuries and will continue to be circulated: To be or not to be, that is a question.
Hamlet's inner suffering is hard for outsiders to understand. His revenge has nothing to do with the people. It doesn't mean that he can get revenge smoothly without being divorced from the masses, or that he can't get revenge smoothly because he is divorced from the masses.
hamlet didn't have no chance to get revenge, but he watched the opportunity slip away again and again. All the opportunities let slip away because of his inner hesitation, and this hesitation is the main reason why Hamlet is Hamlet. Or, we can also say that all the advantages of Hamlet's image actually lie in his hesitation. Because this is not a cowardly hesitation, it is rooted in human nature. In other words, it is human nature that makes Hamlet drop the sword he raised at every critical moment. This kind of drooping is not a shame, it is actually the lightning of human nature flashing.
-any great work can't be a great work if it lacks humanity and only has gorgeous language and twists and turns of plot. Hamlet is immortal because of its inherent human nature that has been shining.
By the way, one of the important reasons why so many TV series about the palace coup we shot can't be moved and become classics is that there is only coup, only conspiracy, only bloodshed, but it has nothing to do with human nature.
Freud has another perspective on Hamlet's hesitation, and through further analysis, he has come up with a psychological term called "Oedipus Complex". If you are interested, you can find his article to read. I believe that you will gain a lot after reading it.
