    shadow on his entire world. It is odd‚ to say the least‚ that it had such a big impact on him. Hamlet is very thoughtful & even hesitant when coming to carrying out his revenge‚ but when he killed Polonius‚ he is single minded & quick to act. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are paid informants that went to college with Hamlet. They are constantly stepping on one another trying to kiss up to the King. They are liars & not very bright‚ but they don’t really deserve to die in the end. Horatio‚ another old friend

    drastic unawareness‚ through his lack of proper clothing and insensible speech‚ so much that it seems highly improbable that he went mad so quickly. It most likely would have been a more gradual process. Later while Hamlet is speaking to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern‚ there is no textual note of odd dress‚ or unordinary facial expressions through the rest of the play‚ like those that Ophelia reported to her father.

    Potential I believe that out of all the characters in William Shakespeare ’s Hamlet‚ Horatio‚ has the most potential. What I mean by potential is that Horatio would make the best real person if he were not a character within the play.

He had many chances of killing Claudius but he constantly over thinks the situation thus delaying his major task of killing Claudius: To take him in the purging of his soul When he is fit and seasoned

    The actions and events in Shakespeare’s Hamlet revolve around Hamlet’s inactivity. Without Hamlet’s hesitation‚ constant thought‚ and internal deliberation‚ the plot would proceed directly from Hamlet’s meeting with the Ghost to his murder of Claudius. Hamlet’s philosophical strifeheightens the complexity of his life issues and intensifies the depth of his dilemma. Hamlet’s over-intellectualization coupled with his passive tendencies paralyzes his ability to act‚ locking him in an inescapable prison

    spirit of health‚ or a goblin damned‚/ Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell‚/ Be thy intents wicked or charitable.” Hamlet may be incapable of avenging his father’s death however he is capable of such actions as sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths and manipulating people to reveal their inner conscience. This suggests Hamlet’s inaction is due to his distrust and lack of loyalty to the Ghost‚ reflecting him as like a true renaissance man who relies on evidence to verify
