Hamlet
Hamlet: a man of thought and action or a failure? In order to be a man of thought and action you must have the ability to thinkquickly on your feet. Hamlet doesn't do this at all. It is totally agreeable that the man ofaction definitely would be Fortinbras. He know what he wants and knows how to get it.The man of thought is always going to be Horatio. He thinks and reacts only when it istotally necessary. That's what makes Horatio the more sensible of the two. Hamlet is too indecisive to be a man of thought and action. When he had theperfect chance to kill Claudius for killing his father, he decided to not kill him. "Nowmight I do it pat, now 'a is a praying, and now I'll do't. And so 'a goes to Heaven, and soI am revenged. That would be scanned. A villain kills my father, and for that I his sole sondo this same villain sent to Heaven." By Hamlet not killing Caludius when he had the chance becomes very ironic that
He keptHamlet in line for the most part. " Finally, the man of thought: Horatio. We know that Hamlet's only failure is not thinking andacting quickly enough on his feet. He may appear to be afailure to most people, but you must look to the bright side of death to see what he hasaccomplished. Horatio wantedto speak to the ghost and wanted to figure everything out. Fortinbras doesn't carewhat it takes to get what he wants. In the end we come to find that the true survivors are the ones who don't thinkand act. As much as he wanted to be dead, he was able to accomplish that. He was the great thinker, he thought about it when theghost came, at first he was scared, he wanted to find out what it want and that finally paidoff in the end, and he's still alive. "I have some rights of memory in this kingdom which now toclaim my vantage doth invite me. When he talked ofending his own life, ending his mothers life, and gaining revenge on Caludius, he did accomplish all of this by the end of the play. Fortinbras survived simply because he liked to fight andcould kill anyone who got into his way. "O speak or if thou hastabhorred in thy life exhorted treasure in the OMB of the earth, for which, they say, youspirits oft walking in death speak of it stay and speak.
