Hamlet's Message Hamlet shows a lot of sadness and even contemplates suicide. He is very confused with his feelings and depression has brought him down, but Hamlet uses a mask of pride to hide all this from the naked eye. The many events that occurred made it difficult to think directly about Hamlet. His plans to avenge his father's death are crumbling before his eyes; and he's not in the right frame of mind to make things right. Hamlet can be very proud; but it is evident that he is very depressed and confused with life; "O God, God, how tired, stale, monotonous and useless all the uses of this world seem to me!" (I; ii; 32-34) First of all, Hamlet returns home to find his father dead and his mother's remarriage to his uncle Claudius; “We pray that you cast this unrelenting pain upon the earth, and think of us as a father, that the world may take note that you are closest to our throne.” (I; ii, 106-109) All this was a huge negative shock to Hamlet. He does not understand the events that have taken place. Hamlet's mother's remarriage makes mourning his father's death even more difficult. He doesn't understand why his mother remarried so soon after her husband's death; especially the fact that it is addressed to his uncle, Claudio. All of this caused a lot of anger and sadness within Hamlet. All his feelings became unbearable and repressed. He begins to lose control of his life. It also made him feel a lot of hatred towards his mother. She also feels hatred towards Claudio and blames him for their marriage. Hamlet's hatred does not stop at his mother and Claudius; he begins to see women less due to his mother's actions. When Hamlet thought things couldn't get any worse, his father's ghost appears, revealing his killer; “The serpent that stung your father's life now wears his crown” (I; v; 39-40) Hamlet was not at all surprised to find that his father's murderer was his uncle; "O my prophetic soul!" (I; v; 41) Although Hamlet and two others saw the ghost with their own eyes, Hamlet was still reluctant to believe it. Hamlet was the only one to hear the words of his father's ghost.
