The article analyzes and questions whether the problem of Hamlet -Hamlet himself and his complexity as character - may be due to thefact that the anagnorisis (personal recognition) of the hero does notoccur towards the end of the play, as in classical tragedy, but quite at the beginning, due to the revelations of the ghost. It is true that the mood of the Prince is singular before the ghost appears, it is its revelation which marks Hamlet's peripeteia. Is it possible that this newfangled arrangement or «advanced» anagnorisis can serve as a hermeneutical key to better understand the difficulties of the tragedy?
