HAMLET'S MALAOY.
A Study % the Melancholy Dane and
His Moods,

A study % the Melancholy Dane and
His Moods.
The tragedy of Hamlet Is that a man
of a peculiar retrospective tempera-
ment is called upon to settle a practical
crisis. Hamlet knew this very we'll
himself, and that makes the tragedy
deeper. Brutus never doubted when
once his decision was taken that he
was the right man to cure the evils Of
Rome; Hamlet doubted from the very
beginning.
The times are out of joint o cursed spite
That ever l was born to Set them right.
He was too fine, too distinguished,
too intellectual, character to be the
rough instrument which fate demand
ed. He has the fatal malady of anal
yzing his own motives, which is gener
ally destructive of action. If you once
begin asking yourself what will be the
results and consequences of a definite
act, you will find that at the moment
of action your will is paralyzed by ex-
cess of scrupukoSity, as Hamlet's was
when with his drawn sword he saw his
uncle praying. 1t was a disease Of will
from which Hamlet was suffering. In
any other times 1t would not have been
so fatal. In this particular time, when
he was called upon to do a specific act
to avenge his father and kill the
usurper-it is not he, but a man rather
Of the Fortinbras build, who will be
the savior Of society. Observe, too,
that, like many intellectual men, he
cannot be sure of his own moods. He
sees the ghost OF his murdered father.
but is 1t an honest ghost, is II really
his fathers spirit? Hamlet believes in
it on the battlements of ElsinOre, but
he entirely dlsbelieves it in another
mood, when despite the evidences Of
his senses he talks Of the bourn from
which no traveller returns" The trav
eler who had returned is dismissed ap-
parently as fantasy of his brain. And
these supernatural yisitings in such an
analytic and interpretive mind do not.
as matter Of fact, supply him with
the motive for his subsequent action.
The ghost can make him put on an an
tic disposition. play with such crea-
lures as ROsencrantZ and Guildenstern,
deride the senile humorings OF Polo
MUS and lessen the torrent OF his words
against his mother But what the
ghost cannot do is TO make him kill his
uncle. He murders him at last. more
or less accidentally. because his moth
