The Character Analysis of Hamlet “The Prince of Denmark”

Choose a character from the play and do an extended character analysis.

Research could go in the psychological direction ( the nature of Hamlet’s madness – pretend or real – or his inability to act- where codes int come from ) or in a more literary direction ( how does the character work as an artistic creation, how does Shakespeare create such depth in so many characters, etc. etc.) or you could look at the moral dimensions of Hamlet – how he struggles over the commission to kill Claudius, how he is so concerned with doing the right thing, etc..
