of Denmark, all his wishes of life have been changed. He decides to change the society, but in action he hesitates. The third stage is about his decision to take activities, which is after the play arranged by Hamlet himself. He can not bear the crime of reality any more. In his own words, he would fill his mind with bloody thoughts. Although Hamlet revenges for his father?s death in the end, he does not achieve the purpose to remove the evil force thoroughly, even he loses his life. 2. Hamlet?s Death Hamlet?s death is also his tragedy. It is destined for Hamlet to end with his death, which is caused by both internal and external course。 it is not prehensive to emphasize either of them. As one of his challengeable enemy, Claudius is on behalf of the evil force。 his crime is collected with all the society?s darkness. Hamlet is eager to wipe out such evil force and revenge for his father?s death. But it can not be solved only by having Claudius died, of course to achieve which is not easy. To remove the evil force which is monly existed in the society and reverses the situation is more difficult. What Hamlet is hesitating “is not what he should do, but how to do it.” Judging from the objective aspect, Hamlet?s enemy is not only Claudius, and also some villains. As a new style of thought of a newly emerging capitalist class, humanism just exists as a power of thought at that time, which is far away to match with the feudal evil force. The bourgeoisie revolution in England happened in 17th century, judging from the feature of the time, Hamlet?s death is destined. Judging from the character of him, Hamlet has the most weakness which dominates his action. Because of his prince social position, there is no munication with people. Although he has sympathy to them, he also learns people are angry to the evil force, and they also keep hope on him, he is unwilling to corporate with people. What he believes is his own ability。 what?s more, in his mind he is the only person who can plete such hard task, which is the root of Hamlet?s social tragedy. So Hamlet?s tragedy is of an advanced humanist?s failure to struggle with powerful evil force of him, of the time, which has strong classic meaning. B. he Tragedy of Claudius Claudius, who is the head of the reactionary force, is also a schemer, the model character of doubledealer. He is on behalf of the feudal evil force. He kills his older brother, bees the new King of Denmark, and marries his sisterinlaw. What a dissolute gay! He indulges in creature forts. Although he is so pleased with himself, when he meets Hamlet, who is in mourning apparel, he is frightened, even it is in his new wedding banquet, he can not conceal the fear which is from his inner heart. Claudius lies that the old King (Hamlet?s father) died of a poisonous snake, and then he takes the place of Hamlet?s succeeding to the throne. While on the surface, he pretends to care Hamlet very much, treats Hamlet as his own son. He also promises Hamlet that he would let him inherit in the future. In the reply to Hamlet?s outburst, Claudius uses language which seems to be calculated to take into account both sides of a question. On one hand, He tells Hamlet that it is ?sweet and mendable? of him to be so obviously affected by his father?s death. On the other hand, he continues mourning must end sooner or later, and life must go on. Thus, Claudius?s answer to Hamlet appears at first sight to be the epitome of reasonableness, a balanced bination of sensitivity and downtoearth mon sense. ?Tis sweet and mendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give this mourning duties to your father But you must know your father lost a father, That father lost, lost hisand the survivor bound In filial obligation for some tem To do obsequious sorrow. But to persevere In obstinate condolement is a course Of impious stubbornness, ?tis unmanly grief, It shows a will most incorrect to heaven, A heart unfortified, a mind impatient, An understanding simple and unschool?d, For what we know must be, and is as mon As any the most vulgar thing to sense Why should we in our peevish opposition Take it to heart? Fie, ?tis a fault to heaven, A fault against the dead, a fault to nature, To reason most absurd, whose mon theme Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried? From the first cores till he that died today, ?This must be so?. (Hamlet, 87106) When people actually look at the different weight which Claudius gives to the two opposite parts of his argument as his speech develops, it can be realized that Claudius?s ?balance? is actually nothing of kind. It is just because that he is under a great deal of strain, and that he is far less in control of the situation than he wants his audience to believe. In another words, Claudius, because he is in a public situation, needs to be a little tactful towards Hamlet, and thus pliments him on his sweet and mendable nature, and assures him that he regards him ?with no less nobility of love/Then that which the dearest father bears his son?. (Hamlet, II, 110,II). But Claudius is, after all, King, and his power is absolute. He tries all the ways to eliminate Hamlet, who is regarded to treat him very much. Because Hamlet is deeply loved by people, even pirate is willing to help him, Claudius could not kill him by any reason, he should be very careful. To spy whether Hamlet is mad or not, Claudius asks two of Hamlet?s classmates to keep watch on him. Meanwhile, as bait, Ophelia is used to spy upon Hamlet?s inner secrets. After the play, which is arranged by Hamlet, Claudius exposes his guilty conscience thoroughly. Then he plans to murder with a borrowed knife to remove Hamlet for another try. On the excuse of Hamlet?s safety, Claudius sends him to England, in secret he asks the man who keeps watch on Hamlet t
