It is not surprising that there is truth and deception in Hamlet, considering Shakespeare's other plays. Truth and deception are two words that mean different things to many people, and each has great importance. Both terms being opposite to each other arouse anyone's curiosity. Do the words spoken together make you think about the statement or situation and ask yourself if it is true or false? Truth and deception are one of 18 easily identifiable themes, which help create the play Hamlet. In one of the first scenes, Hamlet begins to betray his feelings about his father's death. Hamlet wants people to see his true feelings about what is going on inside him. For example, at the beginning of the play, Hamlet wants to create an image for himself, an image in which he strongly believes in morality and remains true to what is right. Also meant to reflect his hatred of deception, in his argument with his mother, Queen Gertrude in 1.2.75, she asks Hamlet, "Why does he seem so peculiar to you?" Hamlet's response illustrates his hatred of deception in his response.““It seems,” madam? No, it is; I don't know "it seems", it's not just my inky cloak, good mother, nor the usual clothes of solemn black, nor windy gasps of forced breathing, no nor the fruitful river in the eyes, nor the dejected bearing of the face, together with all the forms, the moods, the forms of pain, which can truly denote me. These really "seem", because they are actions that a man could perform. But I have what shows itself inside me, these are nothing but the traps and causes of pain. " (76-86) Hamlet answers her question as to why he opposes her by scolding her for implying that her character is deficient. In today's society I see black and white. White represents happiness, goodness,.. . the center of the card… you can irritate me, but you cannot fool me.”(29-38) Hamlet is insulting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern by comparing the deception to a tool and saying that they are not equipped enough to deceive him. The deception seems to flow in every direction when it comes to Claudio and multiple complementary characters. Truth and deception can be described in different ways, but I only see one meaning when it comes to comedy. Either you are sincere or you are deceitful towards Hamlet or one of the other characters. This theme is developed by the very few truths and multiple lies coming from the foil characters. The characters in Hamlet all kept a secret and told the truth, but in most cases it seemed that deception had triumphed over the truth even though the truth was shown. All these examples from the beginning to the end of Hamlet show how the theme of truth and deception is developed.
