ABSTRACT
If Shakespeare is the world’s most traveled and traveling author, his most famous character, Hamlet, too, traverses distances, both within and without the play. His course through the play is a series of movements, both physical and gurative, towards a quest for truth and understanding about his father and himself. The play becomes a journey, literal and metaphoric, of the exploration of his physical and spiritual selves involving both body and soul, his twin dilemmas. Inaction is not the only problem with Hamlet; sexual revulsion is another, equally dislocating, a response which affects him adversely.
