Hamlet

            
             Hamlet's character is very unpredictable. He is able to be very sweet, innocent .
             and trustworthy, and quickly transform to a hostile, violent state. Initially thought to be a .
             sweet prince, Hamlet grows hostile when his father is murdered by his uncle, his mother .
             betrays his father, and his friends" betray of him. Hamlet is extremely intelligent, .
             emotional, and examines feelings. However, at some times is insecure of his own .
             rightness and tends to procrastinate. He is able to have a sense of trust at times and his .
             actions are proof of these characteristics and many others.
             The trusting attitude of Hamlet, as well as some of his procrastination is shown .
             when he first comes across the spirit of his dead father Hamlet. Immediately after they .
             talk, Hamlet is ready to avenge his father's death because he trusts and believes that what .
             the spirit tells him is the truth. Hamlet promises that he will kill Claudius, his uncle: .
             "Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift As meditation or the thoughts of love, .
             May sweep to my revenge" (Act I scene v.p23-24). However, after much examination an .
             thought he begins to doubt what his father has told him, and starts to become suspicious .
             and paranoid, believing that the ghost was really an evil spirit and not his father. At the .
             end of the scene he shows some of his procrastination when he seems prone to put off the .
             revenge: "The time is out of joint: O cursed spite/ That ever I was born to set it right!" .
             (Act I scene v. p28).
             Hamlet's character is mainly seen throughout his soliloquies. In his soliloquies .
             he seems to have a continuing internal battle between his mind and his heart. It seems as .
             if he would rather follow his heart, but finds it hard to forget his mind. He continually .
             looks on the bad side of things and talks about killing himself. Although Hamlet .
             anxiously wants to seek revenge and plans it out, he cannot bring himself to commit the .
             murder and is in constant search of justification to kill Claudius.
