1. Hamlet, Claudius and Laertes all share similar dilemmas. Compare and contrast
             how each approaches his problem.
             Most people call Hamlet a tragic hero but, they forget that Claudius, Laertes and Hamlet all share similar problems. Their dilemmas lead them to death and tragedy. These men approach their troubles in different ways and cause conflicts in their lives. Firstly, Hamlet must avenge the death of his father, Secondly, Claudius's ambition leads him to killing his own brother, and finally Laertes also must avenge the death of his father. Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes are different characters by themselves, but together they all share similar conflicts and dilemmas.
             Although Hamlet is son to the late King of Denmark who was murdered, he is still only a prince and not a king. When he sees the ghost of his father, he finds out that his Uncle Claudius killed him. Hamlet is already disgusted at the fact that his uncle and mother got married two months after the death of his father and they never told him their plans. This causes Hamlet to avenge the murder of his father and to rectify what is wrong. Although Hamlet is persistent and loyal to his father at the same time he cannot control his anger and is unable to decide. An example of this is when Claudius is trying to pray and Hamlet although he is angry cannot decide if he should kill him or not. Hamlet is always delaying the murder and this leads him to his grave. Hamlet has a plan, but he can be called a perfectionist because
             he wants everything to be exactly right and benefit from it. Therefore, Hamlet approaches his problems with time and patience but because of his indecisiveness, his plans were foiled.
             On the other hand, Claudius is not indecisive and acts quickly without delay. He murdered the father of Hamlet and almost immediately married Gertrude the mother of Hamlet. He quickly became King of Denmark and father to Hamlet.
