ABSTRACT
in the paper, hamlet’s contradictory personality is analyzed from the perspective of freudian personality theory. Based on the theory, hamlet’s personality will be analyzed from the four aspects: his revenge, his attitude towards his mother, his affection to ophelia and friendship. Hamlet’s contradictory personality was the inevitable result produced by three contradictory elements of his personality: id, ego and superego. The thesis is aimed to provide a new interpretation of hamlet’s personality and to expand the research angle of psychoanalysis in classic literature works.
