Hamlet-man of thinking and action William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright widely regarded as the

greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist “Hamlet” is one of very famous play of Shakespeare Someone say that Hamlet- a leading actor in this work – is a man of thinking as well as action

“Hamlet’ praises the heroic deeds of a good, decent man living in a bad world It’s also reflects the inner struggle within Hamlet, tearing him apart between what he has learnt and what

he seen

Hamlet is a man of thinking Firstly, when the ghost of his father appears and tells Hamlet how Claudius had murdered him by pouring poison into his ears as he lay asleep The ghost orders Hamlet to revenge his murder Hamlet promises that he will do so without delay However, he does delay He is so careful when he find out which the ghost said is true or not

Secondly, Hamlet feigns madness/pretend to be mad to avoid suspicion and being

murder Even he behaves very strangely to Ophelia, his lover, and appears not to love her at all

It proves he is so smart, always thinks seriously about each step

Thirdly, after being quiet certain of Claudius guilt, but he still hesitates Although he has opportunities to kill his uncle, he does not do that The reason is he doesn’t want a soul of the king go to the heaven if he kills Claudius when the king is praying

In the other hand, Hamlet is man of action When Hamlet talks to the queen, his mother and he recognizes there is a person hiding behind curtain, he turn quickly, draws his sword, and strikes at this man because he thinks this one is Claudius instead of Polonius, also his lover’s father This action leads to the climax of “Hamlet”, Polonius’s death thus bad begin and worse remains behind Hamlet is also ready to fight with Laertes- a son of Polonius in the “friendly fight” At the end of the fight, Laertes, himself near the death, tells Hamlet about poison sword and wine, Hamlet rushes at the king and kills him

The unhappy ending of the play suggest the deadlock for a way out for the cursed reality

of the feudal society and an unorganized individual struggles will end up failure; and in any situation, who hesitate will be loser
