Would anyone like to help me anaylise the following perspective's/quotes on Hamlet.
really struggling and would appreciate help, have strated but need more ideas.

1. "Hamlet is full of weakness and melancholy, but there is no harshness in his nature. He is the most amiable of misanthropes."

2. "he is the epical hero fighting overwhelming odds with his back against the wall"

3. "……… the strength of the emotional shock hamlet has suffered is equalled by the weakness of his mind in the face off difficult moral and metaphysical issues."

4. "Hamlet when we first meet him, has lost all sense of life's significance. To a man bereft of the sense of purpose there is no possibility of creative action. No act but suicide is rational. Yet to hamlet comes the command of a great act-revenge: therein lies the unique quality of the play - a sick soul is commanded to heal, to cleanse, and to create harmony. But good cannot come of evil: it is seen that the sickness of his soul only furthers infects the state-his disintegration spreads out, disintegrating"

5. "…….. All that is amiable and excellent in nature is combined in Hamlet, with the exception of one quality…. The great object of his life is defeated by continually resolving to do, yet doing nothing but resolve."
