THE SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HAMLET:
THE PLAY IS SHAKESPEARE'S MOST DETAILED EXPOSE OF A CORRUPTED COURT —“AN UNWEEDED GARDEN” IN WHICH THERE IS NOTHING BUT “A FOUL AND PESTILENT CONGREGATION OF VAPOURS". BY REVEALING THE POWER SEEKING, THE JOSTLING FOR PLACE，THE HIDDEN MOTIVES，THE COURTEOUS SUPERFICIALITIES THAT VEIL LUST AND GUILT, SHAKESPEARE CONDEMNS THE HYPOCRISY AND TREACHERY AND GENERAL CORRUPTION AT THE ROYAL COURT.
THE CHARACTER OF HAMLET：
HAMLET IS NEITHER A FRAIL AND WEAK MINDED YOUTH NOR A THOUGHTSICK DREAMER. HE HAS NONE OF THE SINGLE MINDED BLOOD LUST OF THE EARLIER REVENGERS. IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS INCAPABLE OF ACTION,BUT BECAUSE THE CAST OF HIS MIND IS SO SPECULATIVE, SO QUESTIONING AND SO CONTEMPLATIVE THAT ACTION, WHEN IT FINALLY COMES, SEEMS ALMOST LIKE DEFEAT. TRAPPED IN A NIGHT- MARE WORLD OF SPYING，TESTING AND PLOTTING, AND APPARENTLY BEARING THE INTOLERABLE BURDEN OF THE DUTY TO REVENGE HIS FATHER’S DEATH, HAMLET IS OBLIGED TO INHABIT A SHADOW WORLD, TO LIVE SUSPENDED BETWEEN FACT AND FICTION, LANGUAGE AND ACTION. HIS LIFE IS ONE OF CONSTANT ROLE PLAYING, EXAMINING THE NATURE OF ACTION ONLY TO DENY ITS POSSIBILITY, FOR HE IS TOO SOPHISTICATED TO DEGRADE HIS NATURE TO THE CONVENTIONAL ROLE OF A STAGE REVENGER. BY CHARACTERIZING HAMLET，SHAKESPEARE SUCCESSFULLY MAKES A PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLORATION OF LIFE AND DEATH. HAMLET IS ALSO A HUMANIST, A MAN WHO IS FREE FROM MEDIEVAL PREJUDICES AND SUPERSTITIONS. HE HAS AN UNBOUNDED LOVE FOR THE WORLD RATHER THAN HEAVEN. HE CHERISHES A PROFOUND REVERENCE FOR MAN AND A FIRM BELIEF IN MAN'S POWER OVER DESTINY.
