When you have comedy intertwined with tragedy it helps engage the audience with better understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A look inside Hamlet\u2019s comedic dark humor would be when he approaches Claudius and says \u201cA little more than kin, and less than kind.&#8221; Meaning that Claudius was once his uncle and now married to his mother. And Hamlet was having a hard time coming to terms with his mother\u2019s marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where comedy serves a thematic purpose is when Hamlet performs his play <em>The Mouse Trap<\/em>. The purpose of this play was to collect evidence of Claudius\u2019 guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamlet and his attempt to act crazy towards Ophelia might have been an attempt to see how others would react. Hamlet could have been using this act of craziness to distract others away from his real intentions. Or maybe his act of going mad was actually what it was, going mad. But even Polonious had his doubts about Hamlet\u2019s act of going crazy. He started to think that Hamlet\u2019s act of madness was methodically planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamlet\u2019s work showed the many personalities a person can express. Relieving tension in the play was necessary to give the audience or reader two ways to perceive the information at that moment. The use of comedy serving as a thematic purpose aesthetically pleases the audience and readers, to more involve themselves in the story or play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Works Cited<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SparkNotes Editors. \u201cSparkNote on Hamlet.\u201d <em>SparkNotes.com<\/em>, SparkNotes LLC, 2007, www.sparknotes.com\/shakespeare\/hamlet\/.<br>\nCrawford, Alexander W. <em>Hamlet, an Ideal Prince, and Other Essays in Shakespearean Interpretation: Hamlet.<\/em> Hardpress Publishing, 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"es-post-quote\">This<em> Hamlet<\/em> essay sample was written by one of our writers for you to have an understanding how academic papers on popular topics should be written.
