Product Description
This text provides a line-by-line analysis that explores the philosophical world of the play and its chief protagonist, Hamlet. Jan Blits illustrates how the character Hamlet, through his inability to reconcile "thinking" and "life", is representative of the modern split between mind and body. The book demonstrates that Hamlet, not only appears as the first self-conscious protagonist signalling the death of ancient tragedy, but also provides an example of the enduring creative tension between reason and life.
