Hamlet is the prince of Denmark who was given a special trait. His ability to think beyond the nature of humanity is what made him great. According to A.C. Bradley, "The greatest are raised so far that, if we fully realize all that is implied in their words and actions, we become conscious that in real life we have known scarcely anyone resembling them." Hamlet was given intelligence that rise above others as a unique individual with a great mind. His great mind at works is very evident, and it is illustrated when he alters the letters that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern took to England claiming his death. Another brilliant plan of Hamlet occurred when he mad

And now I'll do 't; - and so he goes to heaven;

When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage."

e a mockery of the whole kingdom by making them think he was insane. This blinded them to Hamlet's awareness of the cause of his father's death. With the information from his father's ghost he questioned whether the ghost was telling the truth. Once again, Hamlet cleverly establishes a plan to verify whether or not the ghost was truthful. He manages to convince the player to portray his father's death to play for the king and queen. This clever plan gave him enough proof that Claudius was guilty through his reaction of the play. These examples of cleverness were clearly a part of the main character's traits, but this trait would later show that it leads to his downfall.
