Algumas posições do Príncipe Hamlet ante o desejo

Abstract

Across the figure of Prince Hamlet, we will consider the disposition of the hero before death. Th e attitude which illustrates his positions before the desire. Th e complexity of Shakespeare’s hero, his doubt, his slowness in realizing the act entrusted by the shade – which clearly differentiates him from the decided figure of Antigone – will allow us to approximate to the oscillations that the clinic of the neuroses teaches us. Following the Lacanian indication in Seminar 6, Th e desire and its interpretation, we will take as reading orientation the different manners of not following the rites of death that are disseminated throughout the work. We will engage in such an exercise with the purpose of reflecting over what Hamlet’s madness obeys.
