Title

Philosophy of Action and Self Actualization in Bhagavadgita and Shakespeare’s Hamlet

Abstract

Abstract: Literature cannot be bound in the region, space or border. The philosophy of each nation is universal. This paper is an attempt to focus on the philosophy of karma as described in The ‘Bhagavad Gita’ which found afterwards in Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Hamlet’. The reasons may not be clear for whether the comparative study is essential but I found the close relationship between these two works. It is not mere a consequence but connectivity between two different cultures. Both Hamlet and Arjuna are princes, Hamlet is the son of the King of Denmark and Arjuna is the son of Indra, king of the gods. Even these two characters reflect the society of their genre it’s a need to consider them to symbolize not just one character instead their entire society. Both characters find themselves in situations which require them to kill family members; they are faced with a difficult internal dilemma either in the form of revenge of the concept of dharma. They are portrayed as the representatives of something larger than one person so that the necessity of murdering a relative seems to be an interesting aspect. The supporters of these characters are of course contrary as a ghost of Hamlet’s father for hamlet and Lord Krishna, an avtar for Arjuna. I think both of these supernatural powers motivated the characters to kill their relatives. It happened as they expected also not in the very blind manner but by the self actualization.
