Hamlet Essay

Hamlet since the beginning demonstrates that he is a unique hero that can differentiate him from another hero. This is due to the fact that he is maybe one of the only heroes that communicate with the audience. Hamlet's strong use of his language and communication truly differentiate him from any other hero, for example Beowulf. Not only that but Hamlet's strong reflection on his emotions also compell us to see him as unique.
Since the beginning of the play we are introduced to Hamlet's constant reflections of life and choices he makes. For example, "To be or not to be, That is the question whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer..." this goes on for a while but it demonstrates something that is key to the character development of Hamlet. Beowulf would have never reflected on his life or at least not continuously because that's not the type of hero Beowulf was.
Another thing that Hamlet does is his constant use of his communication with the audience. Hamlet truly takes the time to inform us of what's going on. Hamlet's soliloquies are a perfect example of his communication with the audience. Not much heroes take the time to tell one their thoughts and intentions, they leave their thoughts to be overshadowed by their strength but not intelligence. Hamlet actually takes time to simplify the play.
One other thing tells Hamlet apart from any other hero, his constant display of emotions. Hamlet is always overpowered by his grief, depression, and his anger. He always reflects his actions off his emotions. When Hamlet goes on to display his love for Ophelia he is vulnerable, but as soon as he discovers Ophelia betraying him, he quickly changes his love to disrespect. This shows that he is a hero that is not far from human. He displays his actions in a human way, Beowulf never diopside his emotions, well maybe at the end but it wasn't constant as Hamlet did.
Hamlet has truly displayed his position as a unique hero. His constant use of language, emotions, and thoughts differentiate him from heroes like Beowulf. Hamlet is never outshined by his dilemma but rather embraces it to make decisions.
