Discussing themes encourages you to not only think about Hamlet, but instead you are looking further into the play to dicover the core of the chioces that the charaters make. The four main themes in Hamlet are revenge, madness, deception and family and sexuality.
I would also like you to consider the types of characters that are portaryed throughout the play. Consider who the main characters are, how they develop throughout the play and how they relate to each one another and what kinds of themes are found throughout the play.
1. Who tries to play God by changing the situation around them?
2. Which of characteristic best describes Hamlet's fatal flaw?
3. Which of the themes of the play were particularly used them most?
4. Who does NOT use deception in the play?
