Aristotle, classical Greek philosopher and writer, is the founder of the Aristotelian tradition of tragedy, according to which tragedy should be or seem historical. It should concern itself with the affairs of state and the public life of great men, whose ruin is caused by a fatal weakness of their character. The Renaissance tradition believed that tragedy should deal with men "better" than common men, such as kings, heroes, aristocrats. The protagonist may be totally or partially responsible for his own destiny or he may be a victim of external circumstances and the machinations of those around him. He can stoically accept his fate, or rail against it or the nature of the human condition. The hallmark of a tragic hero in a Shakespeare tragedy is that he is doomed and accepts his condemnation without batting an eye. Hamlet accepts his fate despite the premonition he has in the fifth act. At this point in the play he is resigned to what he knows must happen and is not intimidated by the possibility of his own death in the duel with Laertes. He underwent a catharsis process which was a healing process and was able to free himself from the passions and emotions, from the "old-fashioned" disposition, which paralyzed him throughout the first part of the play. When he meets Laertes for the duel he resigns himself to the fact that death is no longer to be feared. It may indeed be sung in its repose by "flights of angels", but the tragic reality for the audience is that the protagonist has met his doom; who experienced the fulfillment of that destiny; that they themselves experienced the cathartic purge as they watched the tragedy unfold, and that their sympathies were affected. Like us... middle of paper... deception and disgust that inevitably lead to its fateful downfall, and also with the idea that the State itself is precarious and uncertain. As they (and we) witness the events of the show, they and we see how disgusting life can be. The emotion, of course, will be eliminated before the audience leaves the theater, replaced by the state Hamlet calls "readiness" as he himself accepts his fate and death. Hamlet seems to embody the sense of futility that haunts human existence, which certainly accords with the scriptural view of man as essentially evil (a sinner) and not innately good. In this too the work differs from the Greek idea of ​​tragedy as it does not focus on fear or pity but on this sense of disgust. Shakespeare views the world as a stage and what is represented through the characters is a vision of the human condition.
