The Hamlet in Me
Whether we are planning to build a boat or hoping to write a good essay, the only way to go about these tasks is to make a detailed plan of all the steps that need to be taken in order to get the desired result. If you spontaneously decide to build a boat, the result may be a plywood tub that leaks from all sides, let alone hold anyone in it. Hamlet, a seventh century story put to life through the amazing writing of Shakespeare, is a play that shows how meticulous and well thought out plans will bring about the desired result. The plays main character, Hamlet, is a Renaissance man that struggles with the corrupt world around him. He must deal with such issues like "blood for blood revenge" when his own uncle kills his father and takes his place as king. A ghost king appears to Hamlet and catalyzes the events that follow in the play. Hamlet must devise a plan to take revenge for his father and bring to justice all the people who have marred
Hamlet uses the advantage of having a wonderful acting troop with him to put on a play for the King and other nobility that greatly resembles the circumstances in which Hamlet's father was killed. Though the church mandates through its moral code that Hamlet not take revenge, Hamlet tries to find the worst fate for his devious uncle possible: "Now might I do it, now he is a-praying, And now I'll do't and so he goes to heave. We both are not quick to act, but rather devise a plan to attain our goal. He ultimately decides to kill his uncle when he commits a sin, so that his soul "may be as damned and black as hell. And that his soul may be as damned and black As hell, whereto it goes" (3. Spontaneous thinking can bring about undesired and sometimes deadly results. Hamlet finally gains the nerve to kill his uncle, but sheaths his sword when he realizes that if he kills him while he is praying, his uncle will ascend to heaven. A balance between the two thought processes would produce the most desirable result.
