Description
Hamlet: Psychoanalysis, Ideology, and the Crisis of Modernity This book offers a bold reinterpretation of Hamlet through five interwoven frames—ironic, ideological, psycho-social, emotional, and scientific—to reveal how Shakespeare’s play speaks directly to today’s cultural, political, and psychological dilemmas. Drawing on Freud, Lacan, Hegel, and Marx, the author argues that Hamlet is not only a metaphorical autobiography of Shakespeare but also a profound meditation on virtue signaling, neoliberal capitalism, melancholic subjectivity, and the modern quest for certainty. By combining close textual analysis with psychoanalytic and philosophical theory, this work proposes a new model for reading literature—one that uncovers the unconscious logic of ideology and the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s most enigmatic tragedy.
