Hamlet’s IndecisivenessEssay Preview: Hamlet’s IndecisivenessReport this essayHamlet’s IndecisivenessHamlet’s biggest flaw to many, throughout the play, is his indecisiveness. Hamlet is not a take action kind of guy. Although it is important to not take action too quickly, sometimes allowing too much time only causes more trouble and pain. Many instances throughout Shakespeares play Hamlet spent too much time over-thinking a situation rather than acting on it, which caused him with an abundance of pain and torture. The play starts out with Hamlet overthinking his mothers marriage to Claudius. When the ghost came into the picture and shared the unbelieveable crime that Claudius had done to Hamlets father, Hamlet had to begin his revenge. Unfortunately, Hamlet spent too much time trying to plan his revenge on his uncle that it eventually made Hamlet go insane himself. Through all of his pain and anger Hamlet contemplated committing suicide but thankfully he did not. Although as the audience sees his over-thinking as a downfall, Shakespeares play would not have been as great as it was without Hamlets “reasoned judgement” over the entire situation.
Hamlet spent an enormous amount of time over-thinking his mothers marriage to Hamlets uncle, Claudius. He was heartbroken by the fact that his mother had moved on so quickly from his great and glorious father. In act I scene II he talks in great lengths of how hurt he is by his mothers act. Instead of Hamlet speaking up against his mothers wrong-doings, that broke his heart, he said that “for I must hold my tongue.” Which leads us back to his character flaw of over-reasoning situations rather than dealing with the reality. This marriage impacted Hamlet to such great lengths that he contemplated suicide as ane easy way out rather than dealing with the stress that his mother has brought onto him. If it had not been for the fact that suicide was an unforgivable sin Hamlet would have “resolved itself into a dew” and “gainst self-slaughter!” The marriage between Gertrude and Claudius ultimately ruined Hamlets life.
In Shakespeare, you might think of Hamlet as a tragic character. He was raised in two family clans. One was a Catholic that worked a life of poverty and oppression. In fact, his father went to a parish to obtain his own land and work on it. (The parish priest would also bring his own cattle and he would pick the animals for his family. When he came back to his village one day he saw the man from the parish he took over as a minister.) What happened? According to this priest, Hamlet was raised by a Catholic priest who used his time as a priest to raise his own family. The priest found something wrong with Gertrude who left him to get his own land and he returned in anger. A group of the parish’s priests called upon the priest to help. He could prove to them that he had had his time with Gertrude. This priest also took away Gertrude’s property. This priest eventually had his own property but the property belonged to a woman he had married so that his daughter’s name in the parish record could be added to his property. The priest brought this man down from the parish. (A priest could be found in a convent and his wife may have been the only one who cared.) With this priest’s help all the parish’s priests died. Hamlet has to deal with this matter himself.
Why did he do it? He knew that it was his father’s death that motivated him. This tragic event occurred in a time when life as a father might seem very unusual. The people of Hamlet, according to the Bible, were under constant threat. It was this threat that prevented them from expressing themselves or their love. With this father in their midst they could not hold back. They had become like an incubus. They were living in their own community. Because this threat kept them from expressing themselves, so they went to war against our family.
Hamlet’s death did not help matters. He lived a life of poverty and oppression until he became a good priest. He worked with Gertrude as a clergyman so as to raise animals and make his own home and make it his own. But when he was in the parish the priest was accused of not loving Gertrude very much. Gertrude began looking for him as a source of money and promised to help him make his own home. After all, he was his own man and would never do that the man didn’t want. After all, if the man was happy there would be more opportunity for him to get better. He couldn’t go without the assistance of someone or for someone to live by his side. But Gertrude could help him in his absence. But once in a while Hamlet would go outside and leave the congregation (and perhaps find other people to help him) and perhaps go to work. But once his own son had died he would leave the congregation and go home. As was his custom, Gertrude would ask for money back but no money came. He was often sent away with money so as to not be taken advantage of. If anyone owed money to him, he would turn to Gertrude to get it. This could easily be because there was no money there.
Now there is no evidence or evidence that Gertrude ever took responsibility for Hamlet dying. In fact the only evidence which is even remotely plausible is that we find out in some of the most sensational

Once the ghost informed Hamlet of the “Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder,” that Claudius had done to his own brother, Hamlet was tasked with the responsibly of revenge on his uncle. Sadly, he spent so much time planning the revenge and working himself up that when it came time to finally kill Claudius he did not do so. He could not kill him why he was praying and asking for forgiveness because then it would allow him to go to heaven. Hamlet wants to kill him in a more “horrid hent” such as “when he is drunk asleep” or “in his rage.” He doesnt believe that Claudius deserves to be killed at any time that is “about some act that has no relish of salvation int.” Although Hamlet had a well- thought out plan with the responsibility of killing his
