Hamlet’s Indecisiveness

Shakespeare wrote hamlet and created his character as someone who would go forth to his have got tragic death. He had many flaws that lead to his eventual death, however there was one that he should have been fit overcome. He could over come his indecisiveness, most people would be able to overcome it in their lives but Hamlet could not. In the take over, Hamlet is supposed to be portrayed as brave and intelligent but looking deep into the play it is seen that Hamlet is more of a coward and an indecisive man through out most of the play.Hamlet doesnt know what he is doing in his life because he undersidet act upon his fathers murder. King Claudius kills Hamlets father, so Hamlet is in a confused as to how he go away get revenge. He wants to do what it takes to avenge his fathers death. Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder, demands the feeling in (Act I, scene 5, line 23). The ghost tells hamlet he needs to kill King Claudius but Hamlet is to busy consumed in all the pr oblems he has, that he doesnt act at the right time.He had many chances to do something virtually King Claudius but didnt because he was too indecisive about it. For example when the King is kneeling give Hamlet has a chance to kill him but he doesnt. He piffles himself out of murdering him, and instead makes a play to see if he is guilty. Hamlet talks to the actors of the play and decides to make them act out his fathers murder. The makes the actors act out exactly what the ghost had told him. Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue.But if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand thus, but use all gently, for in the very torrent, tempest, and whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a self-restraint that may give it smoothness(Act 3, scene 2, line 1). Hamlet decides his uncle is guilty after seeing his reaction to the play and still does nt do anything about it. Hamlet never spoke up at the right time he stayed quiet about everything.During the play, Claudius yells, Give me some light. Away and Hamlet was veritable of his uncles guilt (Act III, Scene 2, Line 152). Claudius was guilty and Hamlet should have taken advantage of Claudius being on the spot, but he didnt. He went to go talk to his mother and gave time for Claudius to think what he should do. Hamlets indecisiveness cost him a lot. Most people can be decisive and make decisions when they are in favor of the person making the decision. Everyone has to make choices in their lives and they always do it in their favor.People lie and cheat to save themselves, but Hamlet cant do this. In this world everyone looks out for there own best interests and make decisions based on that. Its simple you need to be decisive to make decisions to rise in your life. Hamlets lack of being able to do this cost him his life. It not only cost him his life but others too. If Haml et was able to act quickly he could have saved himself. In the end hamlet does get revenge but its at the cost of his own life, which could have been avoided.
