Shakespeare reveals Hamlet’s inner emotions privately but his jumbled inner-state provokes indifference to his thought process. Since Hamlet reserves his speech until he is alone, his confusion about his father’s murder grows internally. He rarely ever confesses his emotions to anybody; however, he trusts and talks to the Ghost of his father the most. The Ghost inflicts his opinion that Hamlet must strive to kill the murder of his father, and Hamlet obeys with the utmost respect. Hamlet is so emotional; however, that he cannot form clear sentences: “O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else? And shall I couple hell? O, fie! Hold, hold, my heart; and you, my sinews, grow not instant old, but bear me stiffly up” (743). Hamlet is so passionate about finding the murderer of his father that he cannot think clearly; thus, he is similar but also different to Claudius’s thoughts and clarity. Claudius has the gusto to speak publicly, poorly, while Hamlet speaks privately with too much built-up emotion. Moreover, Shakespeare uses soliloquies to isolate Hamlet and his emotions and allow the audience to react to how his emotions control his speech. When he is alone on stage, all the hidden emotion is released outward and causes Hamlet to disregard any other thought or memory. “Yea, from the table of my memory I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records, all saws of books, all forms all pressures past, that youth and observation coped there;” (744). Hamlet’s built-up sentiment provokes his mentality to discount any other thought besides his inner emotions. His brain is, thus, incapable to allow any other source of information inside of his mind to store or be liberated.  Also, Hamlet’s soliloquies reveal his cleverness and smart tactics to uncover who murderer his father (Claudius). Hamlet’s idea of the play within the play is established during one of his soliloquies where is he thinking about loud, essentially. “For murder, though it have no tongue will speak with most miraculous organ” (765). Hamlet does not have to ‘prove’ his sophistication publicly, but rather discloses the idea privately in order to launch the idea fully; Claudius, however, cares more about his outward sophistication rather than thinking his ideas through before saying that out loud. However, as clever as Hamlet provokes the audience to believe is ingenious entrapment of the murderer, Hamlet still deals with depressed emotions because he hides them from the public. At some points in the play he becomes suicidal and reveals this, too, in his soliloquies. “You cannot sire, take from me anything that I will more willingly part withal: except my life, except my life, except my life” (756. Hamlet does not reveal his suicidal thoughts which disadvantage his private speeches because his inner emotions cause mental distress and allow him to, basically, lie to the public. Claudius, on the other hand, has the theory to just forget the past and live in the present. Claudius’s mental state isn’t compassionate at all; thus, Claudius doesn’t understand why anybody with be emotionally depressed over a death. Claudius’s theory: “We pray you throw to earth this unprevailing woe and think of us as of a father” (729). Claudius doesn’t understand private emotion, which allows Hamlet to be perceived as more sophisticated mentally. Hamlet has the capacity to feel depressed (privately), while Claudius doesn’t accept this emotional distress publicly nor privately.
