Hamlet reflects the social reality of1the end of the 6th century1the beginning of the 7th century through the history of Denmark in the 8th century. Britain at that time, as mentioned above, was an "upside down chaotic era", and Hamlet was "the epitome of this era". The struggle between Hamlet and Claudius in the play symbolizes the struggle between the emerging bourgeois humanists and the representatives of reactionary feudal kingship.
Through this struggle, the work reflects the contradiction between the British humanistic ideal and the dark feudal reality, exposes the desperate power struggle between the British feudal aristocratic landlord class and the emerging bourgeoisie, and criticizes the criminal acts of kingship and feudal evil forces.
