Hamlet and Freud Intertwined

Hamlet and Freud Intertwined

“In this essay you will select a character(s) and analyze his or her (their) actions through following critical approaches: Psychological or gender/feminist. You will make a claim (thesis) about their actions and ultimate meaning to the play while providing evidence form the text and supporting academic research. The critical approach you select will guide your analysis and lead to a clear and cogent argument. A key part of your essay will be to explain the critical approach you select. Provide detailed definition and a historical background of your critical approach before beginning your analysis.”

I need to psychologically analyze Hamlet, Ophelia, and Gertrude in “Hamlet” by Shakespeare using factual research of Freud and psychoanalysis in literature. I need six total sources including Hamlet, the poem. I have already written one page over the psychoanalytic lens, so all I need is an essay psychologically analyzing the three characters. Evidence from scholarly articles about stages of grief, depression, traumatic experiences, loss of loved ones, and analysis of trauma to behavior is desired.

I have found sources and created a works cited page. Here are some, if you feel as if these are not good enough to construct at least a B paper, please feel free to find others.

I had an idea of incorporating greed into why Gertrude married Claudius so soon and why Claudius killed King Hamlet. Feel free to play around with different psychological analysis perspectives, but please ONLY analyze Hamlet (the son) Gertrude, and Claudius. The essay is MLA format (12 point font, Times New Roman, Double Spaced).

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much help this is. I am a high school student in a sophomore college class, and It has burned me out.
