The basic definition of the word "rash" is haste, lack of deliberation or caution. This means that one would be "exposing oneself to danger more than required by good sense; imprudence and lack of forethought." In the play Hamlet, we observe the main character (Hamlet) acting in a rash manner (or so we think) numerous times.The first instance Hamlet acts "impulsive or rash" is in Act III, scene iv. line 27. Hamlet had just slain Polonius, thinking it was Claudius. He heard a noise from behind his mother's curtain, and figured that Claudius was hiding behind it listening to their conversation. He thought this because the King is the only one allowed in the Queen's bedroom, therefore the intruder HAD to be Claudius. He knew that this would be the best time to kill Claudius because he wasn't sure if he could do it before, and he could just do it without thinking, and be done with the whole thing . (the Queen)" Oh, what a rash and bloody deed this is!" (Hamlet) "A bloody deed!

Hamlet was explaining to his mother what happened with his father's death and how Claudius was involved; something that only Hamlet knew about. Hamlet is admitting that he acts on impulses, and basically sees no problem with that. This side of Hamlet wouldn't be apparent until the appropriate time. I prithee take thy fingers from my throat. Hamlet also acts "rash" is in Act V, scene I line 261. Hold off thy hand!" Hamlet is saying that he may be impulsive and rash, but there is a side of him that should be feared; a side that is full of rash behaviors and impulses. The reason the ghost appeared was to take revenge on his killer.
