Words: 688 - Pages: 3.... of life made him frustrated with the whole concept. In laymen's term, he gave up.

The Tragedy Of Hamlet

cost. Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Laertes, and Polonius are all dead. I

affect on his spirit. One can not go through life, and Hamlet had a short one,
lose all of the people that you love and expect it to not dishearten you a

It is shown that Edmund feels as though he is selected against for something that is not his fault. So, throughout this play Edmund plays with and destroys those characters that are in the high class that does not include bastard sons. This is the only rationalization for Edmund's evil inclination.
