Psychological critical theory helps give insight into the different ways characters behave. There are unconscious and conscious aspects of psychology. Both of these give insight into why literary characters endure the emotional experiences that they do. In Hamlet we will be able to further understand the decisions made by the characters by using psychoanalytical techniques. These techniques were developed and improved by Sigmund Freud. In trying to learn about each character it is important to know that every character is different and that their life experiences will continually affect the way characters react to a situation.
