If it isn’t handled appropriately, it has the potential to be a destructive force against the individual and perhaps his/her loved ones. In the first three acts of William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, the protagonist faces problems in his life and deals with it by bottling up his angered feelings.

Shakespeare’s use of soliloquies in Hamlet is a form of art to give a further understanding of the character with regards to how they act and how they think.

In Hamlet’s case, the young Prince is faced with the task of killing his uncle, King Claudius. Hamlet takes much time to think over his mission, and in doing so provides three magnificent soliloquies in the first three acts of the play.
