Hamlet misc5

             The obscurity of human thought and sentiment inhibits the possibility of
             understanding an individual's actions. The human mind is composed of its own
             due process, which, in certain individuals, might disable the ability to make
             decisions and act. In the play Hamlet the protagonist is marked by an indecisive
             nature. By analyzing every aspect of a possible action, Hamlet inevitably finds a
