Psychological/Psychoanalystical criticism

He identifies the Oedipus complex revealed in Hamlet.

"Hamlet is unable to act because he unconsciously identifies with Claudius, who, by eliminating Hamlet's father and taking his father's place with his mother, has realized Hamlet's repressed childhood's wishes

Subsequently, Hamlet's desire for revenge is replaced by 'scruples of conscience, which remind him that he himself is literally no better than the sinner whom he is to punish." (Laurie Lanzen Harris, ed., Shakespearean Criticism, vol. 1, (Detroit: Gale, 1984) p. 119)

develops Freud's thesis that Hamlet's procrastination is the result of an Oedipus complex (Shakespearean Criticism, vol. 1, p. 179)

"In his famous Hamlet and Oedipus (1949), Ernest Jones developed Freud's brief treatment of the play. Jones speculates that Hamlet had repressed his Oedipal feelings in adulthood so successfully that his admiration and love for his father were the most prominent of his filial emotions. Near the beginning of the play, Hamlet hears from the ghost the news that his father had been murdered. This realisation of his earliest childhood wish (to kill his father), which had been repressed so thoroughly, suddenly revives in him Oedipal 'thoughts' of incest and patricide. Hamlet identifies himself with Claudius, because he did the thing which the son unconsciously desired to do. His guilty feelings (expressed by the ghost) move him to plan revenge on Claudius, but he desists because in killing Claudius he would be killing himself, since he too unconsciously wished to kill Old Hamlet."

Sources Study

 Most important sources and analogues:

* non-extant play (or plays) with a Hamlet character: called "ur-Hamlet"

performed around 1589, vague allusions to Thomas Kyd as author: a Senecan tragedy,

performed by the Admiral's Men at Newington in 1594 (Henslowe's diary)

performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men at the Theatre in 1596 (Thomas Lodge's Wit's Misery)

Lodge writes about a devil looking "as pale as the vizard of the ghost, which cried so miserably at the Theatre, like an oyster-wife, 'Hamlet, revenge'"

* François Belleforest's Histoires Tragiques (1559-80): probable source of ur-Hamlet, possible for Shakespeare

translated into English as The Historie of Hamblet (printed in 1608)

* Saxo Grammaticus's Historiae Danicae (written around 1200, printed in 1514) which contains a version of a Norse legend of Amlothi

 

* The Spanish Tragedy, a revenge tragedy, attributed to Thomas Kyd

written between 1582 and 1592, probably between 1585 and 1589 (Hunter)

performed in February and March of 1591/2 by Lord Strange's Men at the Rose (Henslowe's diary)

 

* possible historical source: The murder of Francesco Maria I, Duke of Urbino

* Timothy Bright's Treatise of Melancholy : -> the melancholic aspects of Hamlet

 

Belleforest: additions to Saxo Grammaticus

- adultery of Amleth's mother and uncle before the murder of his father

"'before resorting to parricide Fengon had already incestuously sullied his borhter's bed ' by corrupting the honour of that brother's wife (Gollancz, p. 186)" (Hibbard 1987: 10)

-> "Let not the royal bed of Denmark be

    A couch for luxury and damnèd incest" (1.5.82-3)

- "Belleforest remarks that Geruthe's subsequent marriage to Fengon led many to conclude that she might well have inspired the murder in order to enjoy the pleasures of her adulterous relationship with Fengon without restriction or restraint (p. 188) Amleth repeats this charge in his passionate harangue to his mother after his discovery of the spy, and draws an absolute denial of it from her. She begs him never to harbour the suspicion that she gave consent to the murder (p. 229)" (Hibbard 1987: 10)

- Amleth suffers from "over-great melancholy"

- Fengo's crimes are magnified by stressing not only fratricide and incest but tyranny and the oppression of his people (Jenkins 1982: 91)

- Belleforest addes much moralizing comment, harangues, reflections, religious digressions displaying conventiional prejudices agrains women and the pleasures of the senses

Fengo's death is an example of vengeance becoming justice, and act of piety and affection, a punishment of treason and murder (Edwards 1985: 2)

- Belleforest expresses reservations about some of Amleth's actions

- Belleforest expands Saxo's big speeches and orations

Saxo Grammaticus

Summary of Saxo Grammaticus's Historiae Danicae

(conflating Bullough [1978: 7-8], Jenkins [1982: 86-7] and Edwards [1982:2])

Two brothers, Horwendil and Fengo, are joint governors of Jutland under the King of Denmark. The valiant deeds of Horwendil inspired the rivalry of the King of Norway, who he slew in single combat. He won the favour of the King of Denmark, whose daughter Gerutha became his wife and gave birth to their son Amleth. The jealous Fengo murders his brother, and, declaring that he did so to save Gerutha from Horwendil's cruelty, marries her. The boy grows up afraid of death and pretends to be soft-witted; yet he has suspicious flashes of intelligence, as when, making wooden hooks with steel barbs, he says that they are javelins to avenge his father.

Pranks are played on Amleth by his uncle's courtiers to test his folly. Always he baffles them with ambiguities containing some truth, gravely turning nonsensical suggestions into extravagant sense by witty metaphoric wordplay. A climax comes when they set on a "fair woman" to tempt him sexually in the forest, arguing that no man in his sense would fail to take advantage of the girl. Amleth avoids this trap through the warnings of a foster-brother and the compliance of the woman, who had been a companion of his childhood: she agrees to deny that he has had her, so that when he boasts of it ridiculously it is taken as a sign of madness. But a sceptical friend of Fengo devises a second test whereby Amleth is to be overheard in conversation with his mother, to whom he would speak without guile. The friend hides beneath the bedding in her chamber, but Amleth in his mad antics (crowing, flapping his arms, and jumping up and down on the bedding) discovers him and kills him, cutting up his body and throwing it into a sewer, where it is devoured by pigs. Amleth reproves his mother on her incestuous marriage, mocks  at he King, brings her to repentance, and confides to her the truth about his madness and his intention of revenge.

Resolving to have Amleth murdered by the King of England his tributary, Fengo sends him off with two retainers bearing a letter ordering his death. Before leaving, Amleth bids his mother surround the hall with tapestries and mourn his death at the end of a year. On the way to England he changes the wording of the letter, instructing the English King to execute his companions and to give Amleth his daughter in marriage.

In England Amleth behaves outragesously at the welcome-feast, speaking in riddles which prove to be true, though unfavourable to the English royal family. Realizing the Prince's wisdom, the King gives his daughter and hangs the two companions "at which Amleth (as if ignorant of the letter) demands blood-money. He melts down the gold and pours it into two hollow hands (an obvious echo of the Brutus-legend).

With nothing but these wands Amleth returns to Jutland, disguised in his former insanity and filth, and arrives as his death is being mourned. Asked about his two friends he says that they are in his sticks. He is mocked, but the courtiers regard him as dangerous, and when he has drawn his sword several times and drawn blood from his fingers, they nail the sword and scabbard together. When the drunken lords are asleep Amleth lets down the hangings from the walls and fastens them tight round his enemies with his hooks, then sets fire to the hall. Awakening Fengo in his chamber, he challenges him, exchanges his sword nailed to its scabbard for Fengo's, so that Fengo is left with the sword that does not draw and is killed with his own weapon.

Amleth justifies himself to the people in a long oration claiming that he has wiped off his country's shame, quenched his mother's dishonour, beaten back oppression, stripped the Danes of slavery, clothed them in freedom, deposed the butcher and triumphed over him. Amleth is acclaimed King of Jutland. Then he sails for England, taking with him a splendid shield on which are painted the principal events of his life. The King of England has sworn an oath of blood-brotherhood with Fengo and must avenge his death. He therefore sends Amleth to Scotland to woo on his behalf the fierce Queen Hermutrude, who has slain all her previous suitors. She however loves Amleth at first sight, changes the commission to require that she marry him, and persuades him to marry her. On his return to England, Amelth's first wife accepts the situation and warns him that her father intends to kill him. After a campaign in which his father-in-law is slain, Amleth returns to Jutland with his two wives.

Amleth's career ends when the new King of Denmark, Wiglek, regarding him as an usurper, illtreats Amleth's mother and challenges the hero. Before Amleth goes out to certain death his Scottish wife Hermutrude swears not to survive him, but after he is killed she gives herself to the victor. Saxo comments bitterly on feminine frailty.

Spurgeon, Caroline. Shakespeare's Imagery and What It Tells Us

"To Shakespeare's pictorial imagination, therefore, the problem in Hamlet is not predominantly that of will and reason, of a mind too philosophic or a nature temperamentally unfitted to act quickly; he sees it pictorially not as the problem of an individual at all, but as something greater and even more mysterious, as a condition for which the individual himself is apparently not responsible, any more than the sick man is to blame for the infection which strikes and devours him, but which, nevertheless, in its course and development, impartially and relentlessly, annihilates him and others, innocent and guilty alike. That is the tragedy of Hamlet, as it is perhaps the chief tragic mystery of life" (Harris p. 154)

Litvin, M. Hamlet's Arab Journey

 Princeton

Liberals, nationalists, and Islamists have enlisted Hamlet for their causes. Directors and playwrights have invited him into their work. Preachers, polemicists, filmmakers, novelists, poets, memoirists - no matter how public or private the message, Arab writers have drafted and redrafted Hamlet to help them express it (2).

The Arab Hamlet's "multilayered history helps suggest a new analytical frame for scholarship on literary reception and appropriation: a frame that breaks out of the binary categories (influencer/ influence, colonizer/colonized, and more recently, Arabs7West) that have shaped the study of postcolonial literatures (2).

Hamlet's reception history contravenes the postcolonial model. As we will see, British models were important but not decisive. Certainly there were British schools with required English classes; schoolchildren read abridgments (such as Charles and May Lamb's tales from Shakespeare) in both English and Arabic. But the earliest Arabic Shakespeare adaptations, written by Syro-Lebanese immigrants who knew French better than English, reflected mainly French Neoclasscial theater conventions and the tastes of Cairo's emerging middle class. at every moment, the geopolitical configuration helped determine which cultural models seemed most attractive. There were Italian acting styles, French and British traveling productions, Arab and international literary criticism, and, still later, American and Soviet productions and films. Arab students who pursued advanced degrees abroad (in Paris, Rome, London, Moscow, Sofia, Berlin, Prague, and Budapest or in various American cities) also returned with books and ideas (7-8).
