Gertrude and lied to the people of Denmark. However‚ Hamlet’s tragic flaw prevents him from taking action quickly. During the course of the play‚ the prince notes that he has yet to perform any action against his uncle Claudius‚ and he wonders why this is. The character of Hamlet is prone to reasoning and long soliloquies‚ not action; this‚ in my opinion‚ is his tragic flaw. The apparition of the late Hamlet informs his son that Claudius‚ the current king of Denmark‚ poisoned him. Upon hearing the
