His Own view is, that
Hamlet: in accordance With the moral development
of humanity ts the modern ideal OF lue the poetic
symbol upto shakspeare's time, Of human experience
and culture. He is not aone Greek incarnation OF
physical bcauy, but also the intellectual mud noIsl IN
csr1auon Of the Christian cycle; true to himself aud
faithful to others he estimates according to the
Christian es Of personal Integrity he is tho pattern
tiouthips. The action Of Hunlets career, from
emotional point OF view, begins with tue revu6lon or
feeling which arose in bis breast through the sad con-
conduct Of tlls mother. He had cherished her as
fondy his dead father and she commits IN his eyes
after that fathers death. Es views the act as de-

moral and intc1eetunl problem Of Hamlet: Con-
scious5 unconsciously, he presents dramatically
