Standard Answer
This essay will look at Hamlet’s characteristics through his behaviour and
Ian Serraillier’s choice of description and dialogue
...
Hamlet cried that he would kill anyone who comes near
him, to his friends
...
Him saying that he would
kill ‘anyone’ shows that he didn’t care about anybody and that he would
not stop to anything to follow the ghost
...

Hamlet was impatient and wanted to avenge his father’s murder
...
’ The adverb
‘quickly’ shows that he could not wait to hear how his father’s wicked
and unnatural murder had taken place and that he wanted to avenge it
as soon as possible
...
This shows he is impatient and
vengeful
...
The text suggests that
Hamlet did not like his uncle by saying ‘Claudius, whose intemperate
habits filled Hamlet with disgust’ and after his father’s spirit said to
avenge his murder, Hamlet was ‘trembling with excitement and that his
brain was reeling
...
Him trembling
shows that he was very excited and his brain reeling shows that he
couldn’t think properly
...


Overall, Hamlet was determined, impatient, vengeful and excited
...
This was achieved by zooming into
Serraillier’s descriptive vocabulary and analysing his dialogue
...

words such as
