In this soliloquy from Shakespeare's Hamlet we get a look into the mind of the prince.
             Hamlet takes us on his own journey to discover his feelings and thoughts about himself.
             He lets us see the quarrel in his mind, which is discussing why he hasn't taken revenge
             yet. Hamlet is disappointed with himself for not taking action against the person that
             murdered his father, Claudius. This soliloquy from Hamlet shows the diction, imagery,

             "one part wisdom and ever three parts coward". The word choice here shows another
             contradiction between the words "wisdom" and "coward". A coward is able to have
             wisdom but if the cowardly aspect takes control than the wisdom is smothered. This is
             the case with Hamlet. He thinks that he has let his timid nature take over his knowledge
             of what is right and therefore he is angry with himself for being apprehensive. That is
             why he tells himself that his thoughts are "cowardly&quo...
