William Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of the most complex plays in the English language. By approaching Hamlet from different perspectives, one can realize the subtle meanings interconnected with this entertaining play. Two of these perspectives are the Marxist view and the deconstructionist view. Marxism refers to the social impact of the game and the ability to undermine the foundations of government; deconstructionism attempts to show the inability of language to support the complexities of human life. Hamlet is the story of Danish royalty and the "tragedy" that struck the prince of Denmark, the play's namesake, Hamlet. The play centers on the murder of the previous king and his brother's marriage to the queen dowager a month later. At the beginning of the play, Hamlet discovers from his father's ghost that he has been murdered by Claudius, Hamlet's uncle and brother of the deceased king. The ghost tells Hamlet that he must avenge his father's murder by killing Claudius. The rest of the play is an act of inaction on Hamlet's part. Hamlet goes back and forth between madness and sanity while constantly avoiding killing Claudius. In the final scene, Hamlet; Laertes (son of Polonius, Polonius was killed by Hamlet); the queen, Gertrude; and King Claudius all die. Although this work is considered primarily a tragedy by most readers, a Marxist criticism might show it in the light of a farce. The cycle of every monarchy is fraught with murder, deceit and injustice within the ruling family; however, in Hamlet, this cycle is interrupted in an almost humorous way. Hamlet not only defies logical fiction by missing many opportunities to easily kill Claudius, but also displays an unusual ethical streak in the prince of a ruling dynasty. The... center of the card...... numerous examples include Hamlet's scene with Ophelia. By using the word convent, Hamlet leaves the reader the choice of whether or not to define convent as slang for brothel or the place where nuns reside. Gertrude goes from “reluctant lover, adulteress and murderer depending on the connotations placed in the text. In conclusion, by applying multiple points of view to Hamlet, a type finds countless ways to interpret the play. Marxists satirize the ruling monarchy and show the debilitating uselessness of the cycle of royal families, while deconstructionists show the inability of language to give a concrete account of events. Not even the author of a literary work can prove indisputably that his work has only one meaning, because that work will elicit multiple responses from people based on their ideology, beliefs and experiences..
