Abstract

The studies on the play Hamlet has been numerous since the play occupies a most special and important place in all Shakespeare’s plays. The focuses of all these studies can be divided into the analysis on the theme, personalities of male and female characters, the reason of the tragedy and so on. In this essay, many evidences and interpretations will be provided to illustrate Hamlet as a “Wonder” in this play. The word “Wonder” is first put forward by Stephen Greenblatt in his essay titled, “Resonance and Wonder”. This article will mainly focus on the interpretation of the wonders in Hamlet’s lines addressed to these three male characters, Claudius the King, Polonius, Hamlet’s only trusted friend Horatio and his school fellows Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. All those wonders will be divided into three categories, the discussion on dualism, individualism and the disorder of the time, which as a whole will present Hamlet as a role leading reader to wonder and to resonate. The last part will serve as a conclusion of the above and try to provide a deeper understanding of the reason causing this tragedy.
