Hamlet: Good to Evil

Hamlet’s Transformation from Good to Evil In the play Hamlet by Shakespeare, Hamlet endures exorbitant amount of pain and anger because of his father’s death, his mothers hasty remarriage, and the loss of his only love, Ophelia. The losses that Hamlet has to deal with, the anger and lack of forgiveness that he allows to build within himself, allows Hamlet’s true thoughts and character to be revealed through his soliloquies, which are …

…virtue and integrity. He becomes a victim to evil and corruptness by allowing himself not to forgive Claudius for his father’s murder and his mother for her hasty remarriage to Claudius. Hamlet’s full character transformation is very apparent in his last line of his last soliloquy “my thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth.” He allows himself to become someone that thrives off the thought of revenge and this ultimately gets him killed.
