The dramatists employ it with a purpose of divulging character's innermost thoughts or the plan of future in advance to the audience. It is just to expose mental tendency of the character or the boundary of judgment that creates curiosity among the readers or audience.Shakespearean master piece work, Hamlet, a great tragedy, earns an impregnable name and fame by employing this field. The dramatist, by using it, discloses dilemma and mental obsession of the character. The audience comfortably gets sundry approach to the psyche of character and tries to comprehend him. It does not complain against the characters in such critical condition, but becomes unpleasant and shares commiserations with him. It accepts them as its own distresses and tries to get rid of them by going itself into soliloquies.
Hamlet's first soliloquy manifests his deep grief emanated from the hasty remarriage of his mother to his uncle and death of his father. It is his filial love keeps him wearing black mourning dress. His mother urges him not to wear nightly colour but he prefers the dress as the manifestation of his inner grief. In such deep sorrow, this soliloquy occurs and his hasty decision to commit suicide stands him irresponsible and coward. Later his conscience strikes him to be conscious by leading him to the fact occurring with the body after death. Actually his love is deeper emerging more powerful than the intensity of suicide. Despite it, he avoids committing it, it is not reason of scaring but it is taboo in religion and one who commits is directly flung to hell, the eternal torturing place or abode of sinners.
It is his flail love, causing his deep sorrow and owing to it, the entire world seems him to be useless that's why he curses this deceptive and lusty world. His pain is intensified on the speedy remarriage of his mother to his uncle whom he considers inferior and venomous naturally. He praises his father and his love to his mother.When his grief crosses the limit of intensity and tolerance, for his conscientious solace and contentment proves less moving to his heart rooted love. He gets efforts to appease himself by admitting that frailty is the name of a woman.
The second soliloquy occurs after the appearance of ghost. The ghost reveals genuineness of his father's death. Such revelation causes of a severe shock to him. Besides he is forced to kill Claudius, the assassin of his father. Now the responsibility of avenging the father's death will stand as an unendurable shock to him as long as he does not take avenge. Being a man of letter or decent spirit, he is stunned on the duty of killing Claudius. His flial attachment accepts it as his main aim and his all other thoughts are replaced by the ghost's commandments.
The third soliloquy points out two things, echoing in his conscience. Firstly, he condemns himself to be a rascal because of not executing the order of the ghost. He, may be, considers it as disobedience to father or disappearance of filial love that's why procrastination is taking place. His scolding to himself is evident of his deeper dejection. Secondly, he prefers the acting of the actor, in it he finds the spirit of inspiration and revenge or fast action He is unlike the actor, light tempered, blind and slave to the writer. He has a scholarly mind, preventing him from believing in low spirits. His conscience is not dead pushing him to proofs and does not bow him before the spirit. The spirit is powerful and has adopted his father's shape, but it doesn't mean that it is right. There is the suspect of misleading him. His main intention is to discover murderer and to take avenge of father. This play is acted for evidence divulging the conscience of the king whether he murdered.
His fourth soliloquy is considered most philosophical and used as examples by the scholars in their works. He is shown on the horn of dilemma and thinks whether he should tolerate it or fight against the tyranny of life. His acute pain, caused by obsession, pushes him to committing suicide. He prefers escaping from reality. Such dejection is interim.when he comes to round, he condemns it cowardice and uplifts himself to the spell of suicide. He opposes death and imagines whether death is a deep sleep, free from troubles with whom the body is attached, or not. He jumps to tantamount that death is no doubt a sleep but there are thousands dreadful visions usually disturb and shock such sleep.He hesitates to commit suicide because it is not way of getting rid of the troubles of life, but of implicating or trapping himself into more torturous troubles. If it had not been, it would have been the best remedy for all troubles given by life in the world.So it is conscience that makes the affected too weak to commit suicide. It robs our moral courage and irresolute. In consequence we become pale through anxiety.
The fifth soliloquy occurs in Act III and scene II (lines 379-390).Hamlet goes into soliloquy because he is invited to talk something with his mother. It makes him meditative and speculative caused of his love towards his mother. His intention is to be cruel like evil spirits at the dreadful night hour to the people of the world. There comes his filial love that calms down his heart before his mother like Nero. He will not stab his mother, but will be cruel in his words because words are sharper than weapons. These words will awake her conscience for repentance. It is Christian concept of penitence for sin.
The sixth soliloquy occurs in Act iii scene iii (line73-96) when Hamlet goes to meet his mother to her private room and on the way he sees the king at prayer, it is a great opportunity to kill him, but he does not. It shows that he is not brutal but a man, thoughtful and far-sighted His scholarly gift persuades him not to kill the king with possibility that he will go direct to heaven. The fate favoured the king; otherwise he might have been sent to hell. Wisdom stands a mighty resistance between him and his revenge.He consoles himself to wait for other opportunity in which he must be angry or intoxicated, gambling or naked for physical pleasure. That will be the favourible condition, if he will be slew in such condition, his soul will go to hell, the abode of sinners.
It is the seventh and last soliloquy Hamlet meets with Fortinbras a captain with his army for war. Realizing it, he rebukes to himself of making delay in action. He thinks such irresolution is the result of cowardice While comparing himself with the captain, he finds the contrast between himself and Fortinbras. Fortinbras is active and he is not. He favours of quarrel in genuine cause, but when honour is at jeopardy then even a simple cause may justify a quarrel for honour is the greatest of all. As Fortinbras is ready to fight for a trivial plot, for it is the question of honour:Hamlet's cause of quarrel is not trivial because Claudius killed his father and seduced his father. The fact is that he has ruined his life.
Besides Hamlet, the other characters remaining in tension or had any issue go in soliloquies. These soliloquies are added to the personality or problem of Hamlet. Ophelia, too, contributes soliloquy evincing her devotional attitude and true love to Hamlet. This soliloquy verifies her innocent and simple.In this soliloquy, the audience is acquainted with remarkable qualities and stately position of Hamlet. Despite such qualities Hamlet is decoyed and the cruel -mundane problems have made him mad. She pities and feels herself sad because she is fallen in her love:
Now it is clear that Hamlet utters all soliloquies in dejection. He delays to get revenge because of his scholarly thoughts causing of irresolution. It seems that there was the touch of fate and it was his inevitable destination. It must be noted that without soliloquies, the drama must have lost its degree.
