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
            
             reason not to act. His actions are untimely. The often procrastination of serious
            
             acts lead to an even more complicated situation. The complexities of the events
            
             which take place in the play do not always provide Hamlet with a possible clear
            
             decision. He is constantly faced with a challenging dilemma that adds to the
            
             intricacy of his life. Hamlet is overly conscious and unable to make a decision
            
             because of the uncertainty of the consequences that might follow. There is a
            
             constant threat that reaction these consequences will not be what he expects,
            
             possibly being detrimental to his cause. This deters him from attempting to
            
             execute any of his machinations. All these factor demonstrate that Hamlet does
            
             not suffer from a failure of will, but rather of an over analytical character that
            
             impedes him from taking any significant action.
            
             By constantly questioning every aspect of a possible action, Hamlet
            
             ultimately finds a reason no to act. He is constantly contemplating on the
            
             possibility of self-slaughter. This is evident in his soliloquies and disregard
            
             towards life. Hamlet expresses his sentiments, regarding the fact that his dear
            
             mother married his uncle only two months after the death of his father, by saying
            
             these lines:
            
             "O, that this too too sullied flesh would melt,
             Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!
             ...How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
             Seem to me all the uses of this world!" ( I ii, 129-130, 133-134)
