Hamlet - The Imbalance of the Idealistic Mind and Human Nature Essay

village - The Imbalance of the howling(a) Mind and Human Nature It is often heard Nobody is Perfect. This idiomatic expression is often used as a rationalization of foolish humanity mistakes that could have been prevented. However, this statement has a much more profound signifi provokece. It contains an of the essence(p) lesson that guides or rather should guide people through life. By admitting that zip is perfect, the individual demonstrates a deeper understanding of the human nature and inner self. This fellowship is essential to the individuals creation of healthy relationships with ones surrounding. For as Robert A. Johnson asserts in his book, He, perfection or a good score is not required but awareness is(76). In William Shakespeares play, Hamlet, the main character experiences enormous inner turmoil, for he fails to include the human tendency for imperfection, or more strongly emphasizing, the human appetite to err. With his idealistic perception of the world crush ed by his fathers death and the incestuous remarriage of his glorified mother, Hamlet unconsciously throws himself into a reality, in which he develops a deep resentment for humanity, and more specifically, for his mother, Queen Gertrude. His frustrating disorientation and fault of his situation is not brought upon by the repressed sexual desires gaining control of Hamlets mind, as Sigmund Freud would have it (119), however, it is, perhaps, the necessity, forcing him to abandon his security, that causes Hamlet to become paralyzed in his meditation of inward thoughts(Coleridge 95), thus, precluding his ability to act upon his deepest desire to avenge the wrongs.

Since no man, of/ aught he leaves, knows what ist to leave betime, let be(5, II, 202-206), Hamlet demonstrates hes newly found understanding as well as merriment with his se lf, for he has come to terms with the non-idealistic world and reached tao, the middle way(Johnson 38). through with(predicate) accepting his new identity as it should be in the stage setting of the whole universe, the prince stopped attempting to find everything its placement, but rather he allows for the inwrought order to occur. Accordingly, he is able reason and act in concord with his mind, for he has reached the Grail Castle, the inner reality, a vision, poetry, a mystical experience, and it can not be found in any outer place(Johnson 56).
