William Shakespeare’s Hamlet: A Deconstructive Study

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 12

Abstract

Jacque Derrida is the pioneer of Deconstruction. His firm faith and belief in this challenging and thought provoking theory never let him refute his interpretations on the world issues, especially the ethical and political ones. His galvanizing deconstructive stand may give a new soul to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Shakespeare’s Hamlet has always been a focal point for the world researchers. It has been studied from various standpoints, but this paper tries to pore over the domineering elements of Hamlet from a Derridean deconstructive outlook. Through deconstruction, the researcher introduces a new portrait of the mind stream of the characters. It tries to display the tradition of the metaphysics of presence and its irretrievable repercussions, which have proved to be the preventive stumbling blocks on the mental flow of man’s susceptibility to new changes. In its concluding mode, the study divulges the tragic mental blockages of the characters in Hamlet, left behind by the omnipresent and omnipotent logos of the metaphysics of presence.
