Hamlet is a tragedy that explores the complex mental state of its reflective and sensitive title character as he tries to undo the past but is paralyzed by the paradox of guilt and justice. Hamlet's overthinking and moral frustration lead to tragic consequences for himself and others, including the deaths of Ophelia's father and brother, as well as Hamlet and the other main characters by the end of the play, leaving the throne to be taken by a foreigner in an absolute tragedy marked by horror, violence, and bloodshed. Some critics, like T.S. Eliot, see Hamlet as an artistic failure due to a lack of objective correlative and Hamlet's irresolution and excessive reflexive thinking.
