From a young man fearing for Death and still longing to live his youthful life, Hamlet becomes a murderer, accepting Death as inevitable and letting it control his life. Upon conversing with his dead father, HamletвЂ™s mind becomes occupied with the death-provoking demands of revenge from the Ghost. Death transforms the human nature in Hamlet. Or again in the graveyard, as he picks up the skull of Yorick his childhood friend, the dear yester: as thus: Alexander died, Alexander was/ Buried, Alexander returneth into dust the dust is earth of earth we/ make loam (V.i.168-169 p1410). He also realizes that no matter what a person does in life, in death, that person is merely nothing Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, -two dishes, but to one table: thats the end (IV.iii.22-26 p1390). Hamlet fully realizes that everyoneвЂ™s fate is death, regardless of status or wealth. Although at first he fears Death, slowly he becomes the sword of Death and then he becomes a represent of Death after killing Polonius and then in the graveyard scene in Act IV (Boyce, Hamlet 1).

However, just how Hamlet avenges his fathers death with the price of his life, Laertes too will avenge his family in exchange with his youth in the grave.Дeath itself is also presented through Hamlet the protagonist character. Hearing the news of Poloniuss death and his sisters going mad leading to her suicide he goes mad and thirsts for Hamlets blood. He is driven to face his fate by Claudiuss manipulation and Hamlets carelessness. In the chain of Death, the following one is Laertess. With her suicide, Laertes her brother is given even more reason to kill Hamlet. It is possible to say that Hamlet indirectly kills Ophelia through slaying Polonius. When Polonius is alive, Ophelia is absolutely obedient and dependent on him вЂњIll teach you: think yourself a babyвЂќ (I.iii.110 p1338). Her death, in addition to Poloniuss death, makes heavier cause to Hamlets doom. Claudius smartly uses this occasion to mask himself as a loving stepfather, and also to stage the death for Hamlet.ДЇurthermore, Poloniuss death makes room for another death, Ophelias. Since Hamlet now knows the truth of Old Hamlets death, as long as he is nearby, Claudius is no longer safe. Poloniuss death also offers Claudius an opportunity to get rid of Hamlet. Therefore it is no surprise that Laertes, Polonius son, will soon kill Hamlet as they meet. Because Hamlet kills Polonius, he has blood in his hand and thus will be revenged. For many reasons the death of Polonius is the most important death. Hamlet stabbed Polonius as he thought that was Claudius in the Queens room. The massacre begins when Hamlet confirms Claudius is the real slayer of his father. It is an unknown mystery of the afterlife that prevents hamlet himself from committing suicide.Дespite the fear of Death, his fathers demand for vengeance gradually changes hamlet into the weapon of Death. i.86-90)His statement describes the explanation of humans fear for death. The Prince wonders how people bear to grunt and sweat under a weary life, as he discovers, it is because of their fear of Death:But that the dread of something after death,The undiscovered country from whose bournNo traveler returns, puzzles the willAnd makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not ofвЂ¦вЂќ (III. The dreams of the sleep of death mean there may be a worse situation after the suicide. He views suicide as a chance to escape his own depression, but he realizes that for in that sleep of death what dreams may come. To die, to sleep -No more вЂ“ and by a sleep to say we endThe heartache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir toвЂ¦В (III. He explains his inability to end his life by questioning the moral of his actions:Whether tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd, by opposing, end them. Deeply depressed about his mothers too early remarriage, Hamlet considers the opportunity to escape the вЂњwhips and scorns of time.вЂќ Here he thinks of Death as an escape however, he has great fear of it. When Hamlet does not know yet the true reason of his fathers death, he thought about committing suicide. It also foretells the outcome of the story.Дeath is presented mainly through characters dialogue.
