1000 readers, 1000' Hamlet', is it related to the characteristics of information?

"A thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets" mainly expounds the characteristics of information: the relativity of information value.

Every reader's life experience and value orientation are different, and his understanding of literary characters is naturally different. For the same reason, the same article, the same question, different readers certainly have different opinions.

Some people say that he is the embodiment of humanists, some people say that he is the prince of revenge, and some people say that he is the embodiment of courage and kindness. These characters, which are constantly being excavated, are far from capturing Hamlet's emotional and complex personality.

Perhaps the reason why Hamlet is so intriguing lies in the complexity and multiplicity of his own personality. The transformation of his melancholy character is the accumulation of wisdom and courage, which makes his character richer and fuller. Hamlet, a humanist thinker in the contradiction between ideal and reality, was stimulated by a great change overnight, and his inner shyness and hesitation made the prince embark on a melancholy journey.

love tragedy

Hamlet is a masterpiece of tragedy. The love tragedy between Hamlet and Ophelia is one of the most important tragic factors. Their original pure love finally withered because of the pressure of the times, the use of bad people and the exposure of human weakness.

In this emotional development process from deep love to losing control and then dying, it reflects the present situation of European society (the position of power in society and the corruption of feudal dynasties) and the flawed and even ugly side of human nature, which plays an irreplaceable role in deepening the theme, thus leaving a rich and colorful stroke in the whole British and even world literary history.

However, it should be pointed out that Hamlet is, after all, a tragedy with the theme of revenge, and this tragic love is only an auxiliary plot in the story, serving the theme. Therefore, we should combine the whole script to grasp it as a whole, and we can't simply exaggerate its role.
