In the Shakespearean play, HAMLET, a tragic murder within the family induces a variety of changes within the character Hamlet. The changes that occur in Hamlet range from being subtle to quite vividly open. I believe that the most interesting change within Hamlet that takes place is the change in his anger. Hamlet transforms from a peaceful, remorsing son to a murderous beast full of hateful vengeance. As Hamlet's rage is released toward other characters in the play, such as Claudius and his mother, his mind becomes increasingly diluted.

             As Hamlet receives the truth about his father's death he is in complete shock. First of all he is speaking to his deceased father who is explaining to him how he was murdered. When Hamlet becomes aware of the fact that his very own uncle was the murderer, the gasoline is lit upon the bonfire within him.
