The Saying of Hamlet

Throughout the history of critical readings of Hamlet stands the question of the subject. When a critic interrogates the matter of Hamlet's delay, his love, his madness, his revenge, or his thinking he does not find words, words as Hamlet might have, but assumes a presence named Hamlet to whom these interrogations can refer unambiguously. He does not in fact find anything more than his own questions echoed in the gap to which they are addressed. Merely on the matter of style Hamlet is never consistently the same, he is always an other, always the foil, as he tells Laertes before their final duel, who plays on those who attempt to play him, whose purpose is to foil all attempts to subject him to a Law. Represented by an actor who bears the burden of his name, Hamlet is barred from his own play. This poet-as-hero can only hypostatize his being by looking at its reflection as it is presented before him, by responding to the lure of an other. Hamlet's fault, the flaw in his character, is his apostasy. The greatest of apostates is the one whose dedication to his cause is so great that he forsakes it utterly in seeking only to prove to himself the infinity of his dedication. If we attempt to locate Hamlet as a presence in the play that bears his name, we will be confronted with an ellipsis constituted by the repression of a crime. A father's murder is repressed into natural death, only to reappear in an orgy of slaughter that banalyzes the event into death's feast. Hamlet as subject, Hamlet in a time before the event of his father's death, is erased, evoked only by Ophelia in fleeting glimpses. To Claudius, for example, neither the inner or outer man resembles what it was and this causes him and his wife considerable chagrin. Hamlet's dissembling, as an articulation of the unpaid debt contracted by the murder of his father, says the fault that now rules the kingdom of Denmark. It remains to be seen how a dissembling can say anything and moreover whether a fault can be said rather than merely talked over, that is, covered over with talk.
