Hamlets Immaturity and Rudeness Hamlet identifies more with a teenager of the 1990s than with the youth of his time. Hamlet is immature, sarcastic and acts in the heat of passion, which is very similar to the behavior of youth in the 1990s. Love, control of action and the ability to overcome depression are just a few ways of prove his maturity. It is obvious that Hamlet loves Ophelia in his own way. . . the celestial idol and of my soul, the most embellished Ophelia. . . (Hamlet. II, ii, 109-110), but his path is not mature enough to include trust in his lover. The trust Hamlet should have placed in him was the key to his madness. This madness with which Hamlet cannot confide his love is the same madness over which he loses all control because of his immaturity; this then leads him to do things, like killing Polonius, that a mature person could stop. The madness that Hamlet assumes is understandable, but he can never get over his father's death while still wearing black a year later, and his mother's hasty marriage to Claudius. Compared to Horatio who is calm and cool throughout the play, and Fortinbras who has gathered an army to fight for his uncle's land and honor, Hamlet's maturity level for his time is low, especially to be a prince. Today, Hamlet's age group is more immature than in his time, so he gets along better with the youth of the 1990s than with the teenagers of his era. Sarcasm and blunt rudeness are often used by Hamlet to offend people he should not have offended in his time. Hamlet often took advantage of his mother's hasty marriage to offend Claudius. The first time Hamlet offends Claudius in the company of another person is when Claudius is supposed to help cheer Hamlet up. A little more than parent and less than nice. (Hamlet. I, ii, 65) is just as rude in Hamlet's time as almost anything a person could say today, it only takes a little thought to make people today understand what Hamlet means. The second person Hamlet is openly rude to is Polonius. Hamlet, in front of Claudius and Gertrude, insults Polonius by calling him . . . a fishmonger. (Hamlet. II, ii, 174) This is not the only way Hamlet offended Polonius. Hamlet offended Polonius by insulting his daughter. Hamlet is rude to his time by asking Ophelia Lady, shall I lie on your lap? (Hamlet. III, ii, 115) What is strange about Hamlet's ability to use his mouth is that young people today are able to effectively use the same types of sarcasm and rudeness, just like Hamlet, but with Hamlet's political position he should do it. he didn't offend people like his father-in-law. Being radical and acting on impulse is something Hamlet had to use to complete his work. Hamlet, finding it difficult to seek revenge, applied his anger at his mother's judgment to kill who he thought was Claudius. Hamlet also had to be on his own deathbed to finally get angry enough to kill Claudius. The way Hamlet uses his anger to act is very similar to that of young people today: if someone has a problem with cutting wood, for example, he organizes demonstrations and takes action against this problem. The second way Hamlet is extreme is when he goes with the ghost who looks like his father even though his friends warn him that the ghost can be evil and. . .tempts you towards the flood. . . Or to the terrible cliff top. . . (Hamlet. I, iv, 69-70). If the prince was right, he wouldn't have left with the ghost that looked like the old one. . . King, father, royal Danish..
