Hamlet es la tragedia central de William Shakespeare tanto por su localización en una zona intermedia de su producción como por constituirse en su apuesta acaso más osada como dramaturgo, la cual abre el camino para la progresión de sus grandes obras finales. Partiendo de la consideración crítica otorgada a la figura de Hamlet en tanto emblema del intelectual que hace de la vacilación y la duda un modo característico de su obrar, se examinará la relevancia de la experiencia universitaria del personaje en la Universidad de Witemberg y el previsible conflicto en él suscitado por su retorno al primitivo ambiente guerrero de la Corte danesa. En ese marco, la actitud renuente y dilatoria de Hamlet en relación con lo que asume como el imperativo de la venganza, implicará la posposición estratégica de su ejecución sin renunciar, no obstante, a ella. En otro estadio de la reflexión, ello evidenciaría que, con Hamlet, Shakespeare, bajo la fachada de una tragedia de venganza, estaría en realidad impugnando esa forma estética y el imperativo ético vehiculizado en ella, apostando a una significativa deconstrucción del género.

Hamlet is the central tragedy of William Shakespeare both because of his location in an intermediate period of his production and because it is perhaps the most daring bet as a playwright, which opens the way for the progression of the great final work. Starting from the critical consideration given to the figure of Hamlet as an emblem of the intellectual who makes hesitation and doubt a characteristic mode of his work. The relevance of the character's university experience at the University of Wittemberg and the expected conflict aroused in him by his return to the primitive warrior environment of the Danish Court will also be examined.
In this context, Hamlet's reluctant and delaying attitude in relation to what he assumes as the imperative of revenge will imply the strategic postponement of his execution without renouncing at it, however. In another stage of reflection, this would show that, with Hamlet, Shakespeare, under the facade of a revenge tragedy, would actually be challenging that aesthetic form and the ethical imperative conveyed in it, betting on a significant deconstruction of the genre. |
