The Man Who couldn't make up his mind
The Man Who Couldn't Make Up His MindAs the saying goes "revenge is sweet," but is it really sweet, is it as easy as one, two, three, or are there consequences and problems that come with it? How do we know when to take revenge against somebody, and when is it justified not only to others but also to ourselves. The play, Hamlet, written by Williams Shakespeare, deals with the difficulties and burdens that revenge carries. Hamlet, the character is confronted with a situation in which he must take revenge against his father's murderer. Hamlet procrastinates the actual act of revenge that's where the mystery of the play stems up. There are endless explanations as to why he waits so long to take revenge against his father's murderer. At the beginning of the play, Hamlet is haunted by his father's ghost, who tells him what had happened and how he had died. The ghost tells Hamlet, "The serpent that did sting thy father's life Now wears his crown" (act I, sec.5). But it just happens to be that the "serpent" that the ghost is talking about is the brother of Hamlet's father. From that moment Hamlet realizes that the person that killed his father is his uncle, who is now married to his mother and is the new King of Denmark. The ghos
And the distraction from his mother is in the way. Maybe Hamlet wasn't going to kill the King, maybe the poison and the fact that he himself was dying, is what gave him !the push that he really needed to kill the King, But nevertheless the King was dead, revenge was taken, but it was too late. The King died by his own poison, Hamlet just administered it. If Hamlet kills the king then it will be setting his ghost free. He dips one of the swords, with poison, which Laertes will use. It is a poison tempered by himself" (act iii, sec 2. Laertes says in reference to the King before he dies "He is justly served. Another opportunity that Hamlet passes to get revenge is when the King is praying all by himself, which could have been the perfect timing for Hamlet. He has the King and Queen watch the play to see what their reactions would be if they were confronted with the truth in such a manner. That would be scanned: A villain kills my father, and for that, I, his sole son, do this it villain sent To heaven: (act iii, sec. There can be numerous reasons as to why Hamlet had waited so long to get his fathers revenge. But Hamlets indecisive manner caused him to end his own life tragically.
