영문 초록

This essay is a reading of the textual unconscious represented in Hamlet in terms of the Freudian oedipal drama and the Lacanian paternal metaphor, two seminal theories of psychoanalysis. Arguably, this time-tested masterpiece is a drama of tragedy, with its hero lingering in the hour of the Other and at the mercy of the desire of the Other. The present essay approaches this tragediness, drawing attention to “the foul and most unnatural murder” and “that incestuous, that adulterate beast,” the words that the ghost of Hamlet’s deceased father expresses. This unnatural murder and incestuous adultery, which are familial avatars of the death drive(Thanatos) and Eros, is closely associated with the crimes Oedipus committed to Laius and Jocasta, respectively, in Oedipus Rex. In this drama of tragedy, Hamlet, who re-enacts tragically the role of the classic hero Oedipus with regard to his parents, unconsciously identifies himself with Claudius, “the great opposite.” In the unconscious identifications of the three tragic characters, the ‘Hamlet problems,’ including the postponement of revenge, emerges. The solutions to these problems are made possible only through access to the Phallus, the lethal/fatal/mortal signifier, as Lacan emphasizes repeated1y: “It is a question of the phallus, and that’s why he will never be able to strike it, until the moment when he has made the complete sacrifice of all narcissistic attachments, i. e. when he is mortally wounded.” At the last moment, Hamlet succeeds in having access to the fatal phallic signifier.
