Hamlet is a tragic hero, who becomes an avengful person when he comes to know that his father was murdered. By becoming a revengful person he notices that life is not significant, everyone has to die some day, but how the person dies creates suspense.Hamlet is too overwhelmed by his father's death and he makes the people surrounding him very unhappy as well, by acting as a mad person. Hamlet is angry that all the other characters are taking life too easy after his father's death and he wants to bring that grief back to the people who are close to Hamlet, but since his father is dead, Hamlet has to bring back the grief. By his madness he affects Ophellia, Claudius, and Gertrude a lot. Claudius wants him exiled, but Gertrude and Ophellia want to know the cause of Hamlet's madness.
Thus Hamlet to me represents grief because he brings grief to the characters surrounding him, and after his father's death Hamlet's personality is completly opposite than before, just like how life and death are abstract.
