Hamlet's Tragedy Hamlet, the main character of the Tragedy of Hamlet, is a young man who experiences an about-turn in his life after his father passes away. Finishing the whole drama, we learn about elements why his tragedy happens. The tragedy is caused by his sensitive nature, the influence of his religious belief and the divorce with the masses. To begin with, Hamlet is a person who is born with sensitive personality which always makes him immersed in his own world just to think about things but not to do them immediately. After his father dies, he consistently thinks over the question 'to be or not to be', which gets him caught in the hesitating situation and denies the best time to take revenge. Hamlet's tragedy is also due, in part, to the influence of his religious belief. Though religious belief in people's ideology becomes weaker and weaker in the Renaissance, it, as a spiritual strength, still is deep-rooted in society. So how can Hamlet, an educated prince, have no religious belief?However, this belief is changed by the development of society. Therefore, he hesitates. Last but not least, the divorce with the masses to fight by him is another reason that results in Hamlet's tragedy. As a prince who is influenced by humanism spirit, Hamlet naturally employs what has learned to judge others. Therefore, he has a view that he is the symbol of justice and Claudius is the symbol of evil. What's more, he believes that evil can never prevail over good and he can win the battle by himself. All these reasons- his sensitive nature, the influence of religious belief and the divorce with the masses, leads to Hamlet's tragedy. However, on the other hand, these also make him a charming and mysterious character. As the saying goes'there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.
