Did Hamlet Cause His Own Death
Hamlet's unfortunate death is caused by numerous reasons, many of which are his own fault. Despite Hamlet's fatal ending by the mysterious Claudius and deceiving Laertes, there are steps leading to Hamlet's final moment that could have been easily avoided. But unfortunately, they are unavoidable because of Hamlet's unique and complex personality. Hamlet's main flaw in life is over thinking. He tends to ponder about every possible outcome of each scenario that he faces in life. It seems that many are aware of Hamlet's excess of thought.

Hamlet's poor judgment and act of machismo is the final step contributing to his death. He lives and dies according to his hard thinking and carefree spirit. His whole purpose in life, after King Hamlet's death, is to avenge his beloved father's murder. Maybe if he thought a little more like his father that would have made his father proud. The ghost of old King Hamlet is surely not pleased with Hamlet's actions, or lack there of, and so the tragic death of young Hamlet is all for naught.
