This research paper examines the psychoanalytic study of three characters from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet: Prince Hamlet, Queen Gertrude, and Ophelia. Each character is analyzed through various psychoanalytic theories, including the Oedipus complex, repression, and the Madonna-Whore complex. Prince Hamlet's character is analyzed in terms of his unresolved conflicts with his father, his unconscious desires for his mother, and his subsequent madness. Queen Gertrude's character is analyzed in terms of her repressed desires, her relationship with Claudius, and her role in Hamlet's psychological development. Ophelia's character is analyzed in terms of the Madonna-Whore complex, repression, the uncanny, and the theme of mourning. Overall, the psychoanalytic study of these characters provides a deeper understanding of the psychological dynamics at play in Shakespeare's play and highlights the relevance of psychoanalytic theory in the analysis of literature and human behavior.
