Hamlet is in a state of confusion of whether he should continue having a mental battle or to actually put his thoughts in actions by avenging his father's death.
"Royal road to individualization." Characters discover their genuine version through self-overhearing. This is often done because it is written as a play for the audiences to also understand a character's thoughts.
Literally, Hamlet does not swear to avenge his father's death but to remember him.
Progression is used from language to physical actions to performativity.
A central problem in the play is that characters misrepresent their feelings and intentions in way that contradict reality.
Hamlet's antic disposition disguise of madness conceals his real intentions.
There is a difference between the verbal act of madness and actual madness. Polonius buys into the second of one's "true self" which is actually Hamlet's act of verbal madness.
Ambition is the wanting of materialistic wealth but also of power and influence in which Claudius has which interests Gertrude.
Polonius represents the premodern man while Hamlet represents the modern man and King Claudius stands in between them.
Hamlet is in fact a dynamic character when analyzing his sympathy and acceptance.
