Indecisiveness     In the story Hamlet, there is a prince who is unable to catch decisions for himself. A prince who must give steady-going quality make in the beginning he decides to do something. The public refers to population who cannot make decisions for themselves as people who are indecisive. In Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, Hamlet, is unable to make decisions for himself, and relies on the hazardions of others to make his final choice on wether to kill his Uncle Claudius or not. M both situations confirm this, such as when Hamlet put on a play, when someone was killed with something placed into the actors ear killing him and making Claudius dismay and run off. Or when Hamlet says, "Ill see grounds/ more carnal knowledge than this--the plays the thing/ Wherein Ill catch the conscience of the major power" (II.ii.583-585), this suggests that Hamlet is indecisive because he does not comport copious information to decide if Claudius is gu ilty or not. And also in many of Hamlets soliloquies, Hamlet speaks to himself and questions his get judgement at many times during the play. All this can pass one to believe that Hamlets fatal flaw was his inability to make a solid choice, or indecisiveness.     Hamlets accomplice invited a group of traveling actors to come to the court and preform an act for Hamlet to cheer him up. Hamlet financially supports this group of actors and asks for them to, at the end, have a killing in which a liquid leave alone be placed into the ear of a actor, thus killing him. Hamlet believes this will make Claudius snap and he will have enough proof to kill Claudius. The plan goes as follows and Claudius stands up, shouts for light, and rushes off. Hamlet and his friend Horatio agree that this is enough proof. But still, even after this incident, Hamlet never does anything to capitalize. Because of this incident, where in any other circumstance, Claudius would have no reaso n to run off, but he did, Hamlet should have been convinced that the ghostwrite of his father that spoke to him months before was the ghost of his father, and not the devil.     In act two, scene two, Hamlet says "Ill have grounds/ more relative than this--the plays the thing/ Wherein Ill catch the conscience of the King" (II.ii.583-585), this tells a lot about Hamlet. First off, even though the ghost looked like his father, he would not believe the ghost, fearing the devil may have taken his fathers form.
