Intro:
Hamlet acts
differently when he is with Horatio, with himself, and with almost everyone
else. With Horatio, Hamlet’s language is clear: with straightforward wording,
and quick, meaningful dialogue. When alone, Hamlet’s diction is mostly clear
and displays his thoughts flawlessly. When with others, Hamlet speaks
eccentrically, confusing people and leading them to believe that he has gone
mad. Hamlet’s thoughts, however, seem to be inverse in quality to both solitary
Hamlet and public Hamlet’s language. When alone, Hamlet makes illogical
connections that are corrupt and result in misguided actions. In public, his conscious
decision to act crazy is a choice. So he has to think about his actions, words,
and himself, resulting in him speaking convolutedly but formulating proper
thoughts. When with Horatio, Hamlet both thinks clearly, and formulates his thoughts
into clear, logical sentences. His father’s death has thrust Hamlet’s solitary
self into extreme confusion: only allowing logical thought process when
interacting with others, yet denying himself coherent deliberations when
isolated.
