REFLECTION OF THE WORK HAMLET
Introduction
From the interactive oral activity I could know about religious reforms, State regime and the living of society with respect to the ruler (Isabel I) of that time which is located in the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, the workHamlet was written by William Shakespeare, one of the greatest representatives of Renaissance literature lived in England. During the writing of the work, the country lived an improvement stage since it was expected to achieve a modern England having Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII in power.
She was a dear queen, but at the same time hate, during her reign the Anglicanism that proposed church-stated relations was established and this resulted in the ideological divisions of society (congressmen, Anglicans, Puritans) all the aforementioned aspects influenced greatway in literature and theater, being the focus of great authors, existentialism.
First, the issue on which the work focuses on man, his living and the influence of conscience about him, the author is influenced by the context of the 16th era trying to publicize religious reforms and Church Relations-Estado, these meant a benefit to the monarchs and increased their power in front of society, this is reflected in the characters such as King Claudio and Hamlet, Claudio showing himself as the symbol of power and hamlet as society looking for a way to getIn light each reform imposed by its convenience. On the other hand, we can identify and relate Claudio to Queen Elizabeth since both take the role of thrones usurper causing a great change to achieve an Elizabethan society, another aspect is violence and deaths identified in the work, being influenced by theQueen’s tastes since she liked to see representations that showed these topics.
Revenge product of madness?
The Hamlet work was written by William Shakespeare in 1600 to 1601 this is one of the representative works of the 16th and 17th century. The English society of this century was characterized by the purity and care of the image, this means that they worried a lot about social criticism trying to hide every aspect that was judged. This society also caused political divisions (Puritans, Anglicans and congressmen) that demanded the separation of church-state relations, causing rebellions and social conflicts.
For this reason a certain group of people influenced by the idea of existentialism, which proposed to place man as the center of everything and accept that he had interior problems, decided to capture through death and theater topical theater like and tragedy, which they showedThe hidden face of society. The aforementioned influenced the creation of Hamlet, an existentialist work that showed the essence and existence of the subjective life of man, true issues and interior problems of this entity.
The end of this treaty is to address madness and revenge, thematic topics that are present in Hamlet’s personal psychological conflict that is developing a cause of the appearance of the King’s spectrum (Hamlet’s father). This appearance is interpreted as the representation of the consciousness of man, which causes different issues to be presented in Hamlet, such as the famous phrase ‘to be or not to be’ where he reflects on life and death as on the actions that he candrink. From this, the theme to develop is the construction of Hamlet’s internal psychological conflict. The use of closed spaces through actions.
Regarding this analysis, the following question arises. How do the closed spaces and actions are used to present the psychological conflict in the Hamlet character (madness and revenge)? In view of this question we conclude that the use of closed spaces and actions led Hamlet to the edge of madness and that he takes revenge as a solution to his existential problems. To affirm the idea we will rely on the following arguments: the use of closed spaces was a determining factor for Hamlet’s decisions and Hamlet’s actions cause him to reach the edge of madness question type
Presentation thesis and arguments
First, closed spaces contributed to the beginning of revenge by Hamlet to exhibit the true reason for his father’s death before his possible murderers. The space fulfills a great role seen that helps the development of the actions and contributes to the development of the dramatic action, in this case it contributed to the action planned by Hamlet. The above is evidenced in Hamlet’s soliloquy: "I would flood the theater by tears tearing the ears of the public, it would go crazy to the culprit and astonish the faculties to see and hear".
First argument
From the soliloquy it is shown that Hamlet wanted to break all fallacy that the mother conjectured because she thought that internal problems and age led her father to death. In addition, we appreciate the space represented by the theater in which the need for a child who wants to reveal the foolish act towards his father to end the problems that conflict him is shown. At the same time it is inferred that, if Hamlet did not clarify his internal conflict, the strategy of revenge on him would be even more crazy. In this way the dramatic conflict begins to be argued through the theater presentation, where Shakespeare adapts a space for the development of climax and thanks to this influence on the actions of the characters.
At the same time, space contributes to the development of the emotions found in Claudio through the actions. This evidenced in a particular dimension "(the king, visibly disturbed, rises, when Shakespeare introduces the appeal of the dimensions it is easier to understand the attitude and behavior of the character. In such a way that this resource was conducive to the fact that Hamlet could identify the culprit for the gestures that Claudio expressed through his behavior. Therefore, the theater space was conducive to the development of the actions and behaviors of the characters because with this resource there was the performance that psychologically altered Claudio to the point of disturbance.

First argument
Second, Hamlet’s failed attempts to kill his uncle caused him in him, reaching the edge of madness as the main internal conflict. From the promise that Hamlet made to his father to avenge him, he began to execute multiple strategies to achieve Claudio’s murder. His doubts about executing this act produced in it to reach a high level of madness and internal issues, this demonstrated in one of his attempts when Hamlet tells himself "now he could do it, we must reflect that that was a prize and remuneration and not revenge", from this Hamlet tries to convince that the revenge that will execute is correct, but in it there is a conflict because of guilt and thinking that revenge is a wrong decision.
In addition, it is intuited that he is an empathetic man who is in the feeling of the antagonist to try to understand his actions, but does not realize that the repentance of the other entity is only used to delay the solution of dramatic tension. As a result of these events, Hamlet began to follow actions that would confirm his madness, one of them the death of Polonium.
This point is presented in a dialogue between Rosencratz and Hamlet in which he says: "It is already in a safe place", "keep your secret and not mine ‘, in this appointment you can see the way Shakespeare uses to theAllegorical characters as a resource of temporal dynamics and the construction of the protagonist’s internal conflict, in this the author transfers the tragic tone that characterizes his works. Continuously, Hamlet’s delirium is built which makes the understanding of his words to Rosencratz impossible and then to Claudio.
All the facts mentioned above become the main internal conflict of Hamlet. In view of these acts, it is concluded that Hamlet’s failed attempts were decisive so that it reaches the edge of madness and causes the death of Polonium which caused greater madness in it and this became an internal conflict ofHamlet.
conclusion
In conclusion, revenge as an option for solving problems and actions that lead to the madness present in the work showed the issues of man. In the period that the work was developed, the feeling of man was hidden, but with existentialism they placed man as the center of everything and showed the problems that overwhelmed him, this was a bit judged for not wanting to accept the feeling of the individual. In addition, both topics are relevant since, not finding a correct solution to the problems, we head for the easiest option. Therefore, the work reflects the truth of what revenge and madness cause also showing the actions that unleashed these.Importance of the subject
To begin, the use of closed spaces and actions led Hamlet to the edge of madness and that he takes revenge as a solution to his existential problems. This is demonstrated because without these technical resources the development of the plot of history would not have been feasible, it is also. On the other hand, the actions taken by Hamlet to kill his uncle influenced him to the point of taking him to madness.Thesis compliance
Finally, every day there are people who fight inside with different issues that are presented wanting to choose revenge as an option or transforming these into madness. Therefore, the work by covering these topics transmits the reader the consequences caused by revenge since it does not bring anything productive showing that the environment also influences the development of revenge and at the same time shows how to find oursThe foolish actions we carry out lead us to madness by triggering greater conflicts.Transcendence of the subject
