Hamlet's world view

  The way Hamlet views the world is pessimistic and painful. As he knows about his father’s death and his uncle Claudius’s wrongdoings, he thinks of taking a revenge on Claudius for his father. When he is thinking whether he should kill his uncle or not, he states a long soliloquy. That (Act III, scene 1) might be the most famous soliloquy in Hamlet. He concludes that even though we live, we know we are going to die. And humans are born to suffer. Life is suffering and that is inevitable. Also he states that even though we die, we do not know what the afterlife would be like. (To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub, / For in that sleep of death what dreams may come / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, / Must give us pause. There's the respect / That makes calamity of so long life.) So Hamlet just lets every suffering or pains go and flee away. (To grunt and sweat under a weary life, / But that the dread of something after death, / The undiscovered country, from whose bourn / No traveller returns, puzzles the will, / And makes us rather bear those ills we have / Than fly to others that we know not of? / Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, / And thus the native hue of resolution / Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, / And enterprise of great pitch and moment / With this regard their currents turn awry / And lose the name of action.) 

  Hamlet values on God or bible. And as he decides to take revenge for his father, he considers his father as an important person. However, I am not sure whether he thinks mother as he does for his father. But I can see their unseen love when I watched movie and the scene where mother is proud of Hamlet who is playing against Laertes. Next, Hamlet values his one trustworthy friend, Horatio. He speaks all the plans he has and some thoughts in his head to Horatio. Throughout the play, we watch the steady breakup of the beliefs on which Hamlet’s worldview has been based. Already, in this first soliloquy, religion has failed him, and his warped family situation can offer him no comfort. After learning the truth about his father’s death and the nature of his mother’s incestuous passion for Claudius, Hamlet’s worldview shifts radically and unalterably, as we see in the first soliloquy (Hamlet, Act 1, 2) Also as we see here, [T]here’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. / If it be now, ‘tis not to come; / If it be not to come, it will be now; / If it be not now, yet it will come: / The readiness is all: / since no man has aught of what he leaves,/ what is’t to leave betimes?*, we can see that he also concludes that the readiness is all.
