Hamleto, Reĝido De Danujo
Hamleto, Reĝido De Danujo
Translated by L. L. (Ludwik Lejzer) Zamenhof
A young prince drowning in grief and betrayal watches his world rot from within. When Hamlet's father dies, his uncle Claudius seizes the throne and marries Hamlet's mother within weeks. Then the ghost appears, revealing the murder, and demanding vengeance. But Hamlet is not a simple avenger. He is a thinker trapped in a world that demands action, a son who cannot stop asking whether justice is possible or whether existence itself is merely 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.' The play follows Hamlet's spiral into obsession, as he feigns madness, drives Ophelia to despair, and watches the Danish court devour itself. What makes Hamlet endure is its fearless confrontation with the impossibility of certainty: Can we know truth? Should we trust the ghost? Is it noble to act or to think? Every reader finds themselves in Hamlet's paralysis, his inability to act while the world demands action. This is tragedy not of fate, but of consciousness.

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;For in that sleep of death what dreams may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause: there's the respectThat makes calamity of so long life;For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,The insolence of office and the spurnsThat patient merit of the unworthy takes,When he himself might his quietus makeWith a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death,The undiscover'd country from whose bournNo traveller returns, puzzles the willAnd makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;And thus the native hue of resolutionIs sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pith and momentWith this regard their currents turn awry,And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisonsBe all my sins remember'd!””
— William Shakespeare
