Vocabulary #8

I guess I can't be in abeyance of what I think I know about Hamlet so far. Well, the one thing I am absolutely certain of is that he is definitely not ambivalent, but has strong feelings and is certain in what he thinks. I can obviously tell that his life around him beleaguers him. Yet, he doesn't let other think for him but has carte blanche and has his own feelings about things. You can see this when Claudis and others are talking and Hamlet has this outburt of cataclysm. He thinks that his mother is debauching their whole family after she marries her brother-in-law. I can also tell no one really thinks of him as special or having a eclat of any kind. He is definitely different from other characters for he certainly is fastidious but doesn't gambol when something exciting happens. He is passionate about the finding of his father's ghost and is imbued with deep fascination of the ghost. It is true he is an inchoate young boy who is lampooned by his stepfather, but he is also very strong and not malleable, but holds his own. I would have to say his stepfather is a powerful nemesis that is against him. Yet, he has lots of opts to follow his stepfather and mother, but he can be definitely be a philistine and go against everyone and everything. His character is some sort of picaresque in the sense that he is a rough sort of hero in this play. His sometimes queasy actions and refractory personality makes him stand out among others though most might not see this. He is a savoir-faire character who is not confused but knows just what to do.
