Hamlet's Four Soliloquies

Hamlet's first soliloquy allowed him to finally feel his oppressed emotions over his father's recent death. His diction reveals his frustration and his sadness. In addition, this is the first time that the audience witnesses Hamlet's internal depression and frustration with himself; "How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable...this world!" (I.ii.133-34). In addition, "Fie on't! ah fie!" (I.ii.135) demonstrates Hamlet's long-overdue expression of his emotions. It is almost like a vomiting of emotions, which show his vulnerability and his pure frustration and sadness. In this soliloquy, Hamlet is truly exposed and ripped apart by finally admitting and acknowledging his feelings. Near the end of his soliloquy, Hamlet's speech begins to be more flustered and fragmented (in discussing his frustration of his mother's new marriage to King Claudius, therefore showing his disapprovement and anger.)
