Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet’s passion causes him to become obsessed with avenging his father’s murder, a process whereby his own hands become dirty as well. He has Rosencrantz and Guildenstern killed, and is also responsible for the death of Polonius.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet shows throughout the play that he is really in love with Ophelia. One piece of evidence showing that Hamlet really did love Ophelia is when he tells her, “I did love you” (Act 3 scene 1 line 126). Hamlet confesses that he truly loved her, but then goes back on his word and says he never loved.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prince Hamlet overwhelmed by death, showing envy, and deciding how to act eventually leads to his self-destruction, developing the theme of the moral dilemma of the actions of people. For reason and passion, a major challenge that Hamlet faces leading to the moral dilemma is being overwhelmed by death.
Detailed explanation-4: -A recurring theme in Hamlet by William Shakespeare is the classic war between a passion and a responsibility. In Hamlet’s case, his passion is his desire to avenge his father’s death. His responsibility, which he seems to almost ignore and forget, is to be a Christian man and not sin.
