Hamlets Problem
In the play Hamlet, Hamlet is described as daring, brave, loyal, and intelligent, but he is consumed by his own thoughts. Hamlet's inability to act on his father's murder, his mother's marriage, and his uncle assuming of the thrown are all evidence that Hamlet doesn't know what is going on in his own life."Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder," demands the ghost in (Act I, Scene 5, line 23).
