Hamlet Gray or Dorian Hamlet

throughout the play juncture we see the themes of obsession and good vs. evil, Hamlet trials with his inner demons until his tragic and untimely expiry. In the novel The Picture of Dorian rusty we meet a acknowledgment that is very similar to Hamlet in his continuous struggles with his good vs. evil persona and obsession with youth. Many pillow slip is Oscar Wildes, Dorian Gray represent those of Hamlet. Both Dorian Gray and Hamlet who have love interest that both overhaul to die in the midst of Hamlet and Grays battle within them selves. All though not all characters are represented you see a pattern with the minor character that garter state the tragic heros true intentions. Both Hamlet and Dorian Gray struggle with obsession through their lives. While Hamlets is more of an obsession with avenging his fathers death while Dorian Gray obsesses over youth and beauty. Hamlet is obviously the more likable character but is makes you wonder how did Oscar Wilde make his audience a ble relate to Dorian, a greedy, evil and selfish piece being?Although Hamlet had a peculiar way of showing his love and devotion to his father the commentator can still understand why he would seek revenge and obsess over his death, Shakespeare shows us Hamlets true intentions with his famous and lengthy soliloquys. Dorian Grays entire philosophy is based off selfishness. Hamlet, unlike Dorian feels guilt for is crimes until the death of Claudius while Dorian Gray puts himself in a false sense of security, while his conscience often thinks intimately repenting he slowly falls deeper and deeper into evil with the help of The Yellow Book and Lord Henry.Good vs. Evil is large stemma in both novels both characters suffer with their Evil side but only Hamlet makes an hear to redeem himself. Towards the end of his life Hamlet attempts to apologize for the deaths of Laertes father and sister, Ophelia and Polonius, He is even upset about the death of Laertes whom he didnt mean to kill. Dorian Gray on the other hand exactly mourns for the death of his ex-fianc Sybil, and takes great relief in thedeaths of James, Sybils brother who comes to avenge her death, his whiz Basil and former friend Alan.While he tries to hide his hypocrisy by constantly false repenting his characterization continues to grow in horror and eventually shows the transformation of what an evil soul he has become. Hamlet, the tragic character who finally realizes toward the end of the play all the pain and suffering he has caused apologizes, dying and noble and skilful death. Dorian Gray on the other hand dies by his own hand, killing himself by stabbing, a death that is neither honorable nor noble.Although the reader could see that Dorian Grays last carry out before death is his way of showing guilt. He can no longer stand the slur on his empty and black soul and kills himself, finally showing the true Dorian Gray. Dorian and Hamlet both resemble the obsessive and even murderous side but where they dissent is that Hamlet has a conscious unlike his counterpart, Dorian Gray
