Why does T.S. Eliot describe hamlet as an artistic failure?
Eliot, in his essay Hamlet and his Problems, written in 1921, states that the purpose of all art is to express emotion, that "the only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an 'objective correlative'", and that there is no "objective correlative" to Hamlet's emotions. By "objective correlative" he means something happening in the real world which will induce that particular emotion, and to the appropriate extent. The main problem with this cockamamie theory is that the purpose of art goes far beyond expressing emotions, and that furthermore people do express emotions which are way more violent than the circumstances warrant (road rage, for example). Hamlet may he extreme in his condemnation of his mother, but that means that there is something else causing this rage, and the search for that something else is part of the fascination of his character. Basically if Hamlet and his Problems had been written by someone other than Eliot it would have been dismissed ages ago as an inept undergraduate effort.
