Last Name 1 Carl Jungs Theory The theory argues that the human personality is made up of four human personalities, namely intuition, emotion, sensation, and intellect. Each of the four personalities has an indistinct processing and perception of the world. With that, a clear comprehension of the distinct characteristics of the personalities eases how better an individual can understand not only themselves but also others. However, the essay will try to prove that Carl Jung's theory is wrong by analyzing the three characters-Claudius, Laertes, and Fortinbras- and prove how they balance or mirror Hamlet Shakespeare and provide quotes as evidence. Claudius In contrast with Jung's theory view that emotions are at parity with the cognitive processes, Claudius' manipulative and cunning abilities prove otherwise. Carl, in his statement, "we are convinced we know the ultimate truth about metaphysical things,” refers to the collective conscious that is configured into the human imagination to influence their emotion or what Burn refers to as "inherited patterns of instinctual” that are always from the unconscious behavior “behavior arising from the collective unconscious” (Burn 132). In adding, "archetypal images have taken possession of our powers of thought and feeling," Carl Jung, without any evidence to support his work, believes that not only feelings but also human emotions are controlled by the conscious process, which is not correct. Claudius cation in Hamlet dismisses Carl's belief as his deeds are what a fair person would resort to to achieve his goal without being influenced by their personal feelings. Claudius proves how wrong Carl Jung's theory is by showing how his emotions are not innately programmed into his brain but instead use his environment to gather information and base his emotions. To begin with, most of the men in the play aim at moral balance and justice; however, Claudius actions are different; he maintains his objective without the influence of the personal feeling of moral balance and justice or tries to be fair and appropriate as should one be as perceived by Carl Jung. Instead, she makes a strategic move to marry Gertrude in Act 1, Scene 2 to maintain the power whom she does not care about, as seen in the opening: "In an audience chamber in Elsinore, Claudius, the new king of Denmark, holds court.” Too, another act that proves that personal feelings do not influence Claudius' feelings is the manipulative ways he uses murder in the fifth act in scene two. Despite there being two methods that could be used for murder, that is, the use of a sharp sword and the blade with the poison, Claudius resorts to using the goblet with poison that Gertrude inadvertently takes, and ends up dead, as stated in the second paragraph “ Hamlet is winning the match when Gertrude drinks from the poisoned cup that Claudius has prepared for Hamlet.” Laertes Too, Laertes's character disapproves of Jung's theory that intuition is at parity with the cognitive processes. The main argument presented by Carl Jung is that intuition can be viewed as the introverted attitude that is always associated with the cognitive process. As presented by Hardman on page 2, "He considers intuition to be an unconscious process whose primary function" involves processes such as "thinking, feeling and sensation” (Hardman 2). In a more simplified term, Carl argues that one cannot comprehend something without conscious reasoning. However, Laertes disapproves that human beings have the ability of intuitive thinking as he lacks the presumed honest voice for the emotional self. The fierce and compulsive characters that Laertes exhibits in the play are clear evidence that his intuition is not at par with the cognitive process. Such is evidenced upon returning from Denmark and finding that his

Last Name 2 father has been killed, as played in Act 4 Scene 5: "When Laertes breaks in on Claudius and Gertrude, Claudius asserts his innocence with regard to Polonius’s death." From the act of betrayal, Laertes is ready to kill the involved individual without the thought of having emotional control. In as much as he is obliged to protect his family, the irresponsible acts overcome his intuitions. Too, his impulsive and hot temper overcomes intuitions, making him act irrationally and later bringing his death in Act 5 Scene 2: "As Gertrude dies, Laertes, himself dying, discloses his and Claudius’s plot against Hamlet.” Fortinbras Lastly, contrary to Jung's perception of sensation as lacking a function to have value, Fortinbras acts differently as Carl Jung perceives and judges the father's death to mean something and even worth the need for waging a war among the nations. Carl Jung describes sensation as the psychological function that uses the immediate reality to be based on the physical senses. One of the virtues he associates with sensation is that it lacks a function that would perceive value. This is different from what Carducci proves, which is "used by individuals when responding to their environment and most closely associated," meaning sensation has a functional value. Too, it dismisses Carl Jung's viewpoint of "psychic energy among the various aspects of the conscious and unconscious aspects of the self" (Carducci 73). As well, Fortinbras's character traits also support Carducci's work by being different from what Carl Jung had perceived. Some of the characteristics associated with Fortinbras are not limited to braveness, calmness, and a man with dignity. Due to his brave nature, Fortinbras shows the value of his father's demise, overcoming Jung's theory. Despite being disciplined in military chaos, such as restoring order in the Danish court after news of his death, he is ready to be at war with Denmark by breaking the Danish honor by killing his father. This is evidenced in Act 4 Scene 4, where Fortinbras's army passes through the Danish land: “Fortinbras and his army cross Hamlet’s path on their way to Poland.” Too, he loses his calmness and dignity by forcefully trying to regain the land that had been lost by his father, showing value for his country and resorting to the use of bloody action as portrayed in the same scene, "Hamlet resolves upon bloody action.” Work Cited Burns, Charlene PE.
