HAMLET: THEMES, MOTIFS AND SYMBOLS

In Hamlet is evident the impossibility of certain and shows a life of uncertainties. Then, it's present the incest and incestuous desires, as we can see in the relationships between Gertrude and Claudius and also between Leartes and Ophelia, because he speaks her in sexual terms. We have a behavior of misogyny because Hamlet is cynical about women in general and there is connection between female sexuality and corruption. In Hamlet, words are used to communicate the ideas but they can distort the truth, manipulate other people and serve as tools in corrupt quests of power. The sinister uses of words are represented by images of ears and hearing. In this work no one can avoid death, the poison is a symbol of betrayal, corruption, deceit, revenge and death and the Ophelia's  flowers are delicate and a symbol of innocence.
