William Shakespeare takes us through the life of Hamlet, the prince of Denmark who struggles against the death of his father and seeks revenge on the man who killed him, in his tragedy , Hamlet . Shakespeare creates a world fixated on life versus death that constantly questions the possibilities of the afterlife and compares it to current circumstances. As death surrounds Denmark, the idea of ​​suicide emerges and becomes a significant theme that encourages characterization and plot development throughout the play. Hamlet, shocked by the death of his father and the recent marriage of his mother, Gertrude, to his uncle Claudius, begins to wonder whether suicide is the right choice for him in his situation. Death also takes over the mind of Ophelia, a beautiful young woman with whom Hamlet is in love, when her father Polonius is murdered, driving her to madness and suicide. The final suicide is the death of the entire royal circle caused by its own conflicts and corrupt actions. Shakespeare explores the idea of ​​suicide as an important theme through the imagination and actions of his characters. The most important and crucial ideas about suicide lie in the vulnerable prince himself. In Act I, Hamlet is approached by an apparition, who claims to be his late father, King Hamlet. During this meeting the ghost tells Hamlet that Claudius was the man who killed him and now he wants Hamlet to seek revenge for his murder. After enduring this horrific scene, Gertrude and Claudius tell Hamlet to stay in Denmark instead of going to school, apparently against his will. Next was Hamlet's first major soliloquy in which he contemplates suicide. “Oh, if this too solid flesh would melt/thaw...... middle of paper......the relationship with Hamlet, apparently takes her life without any hesitation attributable to her religion. The royal family's corrupt minds and actions ultimately led to their own self-destruction and the destruction of all of Denmark. Shakespeare creates this indirect suicide as a way to free everyone from their own vulnerabilities. Leave the task of distinguishing between good and evil to the afterlife (Stockton). For all of them, death decides their fate. They leave their titles and their treasure and become equal. Coincidentally, the characters are all Christians, they all believe that suicide is a sin, and although indirectly, it is their actions that lead to their deaths, which creates speculation about what might happen to them in the afterlife. Shakespeare uses suicide as a way to explore each character and describe their commitment to their religion.
