SummaryIn William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet meets his demise with acceptance as he has reached a matured, highly introspective level of self-awareness. His state of satisfaction derives from a rigorous course of transformation. Throughout the play, he explores the design of mankind which he believes to dictate certain flaws innate in each individual. Hamlet later applies the ideological revelation to his own character, plunging deeply within himself to discover the extent of his wisdom and power, stretching his morality to a breaking point when he directly instigates the deaths of Polonius, Rosenkrantz, and Guildenstern. Through heavy contemplation, he determines each course of action and develops each self-governing principle proving that no misguided fortune, or random error, commanded his death. In fact, an order exists to each set of principles as well as each series events. By Aristotle’s definition, Hamlet cannot be a tragic hero. His evolving sense of self and thorough comprehension of the design of mankind leads him to a content finality.
