    Claudius at the end‚ it was only because of the madness that went on in the final scene. Had he not been challenged at the end‚ I don’t believe he would have killed Claudius‚ regardless of the evidence he obtained against him.

    The main issue‚ to me‚ was what exactly his “mistake” was that caused his “misfortune”. I could not determine whether his flaw was his lack of action‚ or his recklessness; but I eventually came to the conclusion: it is all of the above.

Hamlet was plagued throughout the play by indecision‚ and was often too thoughtful

    Though Linda appears to be just an average 1950’s American housewife in Act one of Death of a Salesman‚ she is actually an important character as she represents reality‚ as opposed to Willy living in the past‚ and is the most level-headed character in the whole play.
