Activity 1.5

Self actualization-I believe hamlets morality to be quite great considering that the reason for his madness in the play is caused due to the death of his father and his uncle marrying his mother. He is not completely honest with characters throughout the play but does make some smart decisions which include not killing Claudius when he had the chance in the confession booth.
Esteem-Well his self esteem in the play does seem to be very high but in all actuality it really is not that high. He is betrayed by many characters which cause his ability to trust individuals very hard. He even conjured committing suicide at one point. A hamlet hates his uncle for obvious reasons and decides that his goal is to kill his uncle and seek revenge when he repeatedly shoots down the opportunity. So you could say his respect of other was little or none, but he did respect Ophelia until he was under the assumption that she no longer loved him because she didn’t want to see him.
Love and Belongingness-Hamlet had and kept a relationship with his long known friend Horatio who helps hamlet fulfill his goals throughout the play. All of his family is corrupt or he wants nothing to do with them, these include his uncle Claudius, and his mother Gertrude.
Safety and Security-Hamlets mental stability was not too well, but his employment and resources were a sure thing. If Claudius were to die he would become king and he would have all the money and land he needed.
Physiological-Hamlet is perfectly fine under this category he can breathe eat sleep, have sex.
