The killing of a king is not something done lightly, and it is often thought that Hamlet was incapable of committing regicide and avenging his father. But if he allows passion to govern his thought wholly, we would have seen an end to his uncle shortly after the instruction by the apparition. Being the true Dionysian, Hamlet pondersthe motive and cue for passion? that he has. He wonders what good it would do him and the entire state of Denmark, if he were to kill his uncle in an act of malice and vengeance, and he also begins to question the verity of the ghost's story. .
The more Hamlet contemplates this matter, the more his action is inhibited. He begins to realize that the only product that may come from this revenge will be honor, and he questions whether the taking of a life is ever justifiable, even that of abloody, bawdy villain! / Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain.? As he comes to this conclusion he arrives concurrently to the possibility that he is apigeon-liver?d? coward who lacks the gall to kill Claudius and so he criticizes himself for beinga dull muddy-mettled rascal? andlike John-a-dreams?. He begins to doubt himself and the point of his existence. This awareness is where we get to see the deep thinking, philosophical side of Hamlet who examines the very essence of life itself. Hamlet is truly not just a wishful thinker, for a dreamer gets caught up in illusionary ideals and does not look for purpose in things, but instead tends to sees life as a refreshing, tasteful, and profitable place full of joy and opportunity. This is not how Hamlet sees this earthly life; he sees the world as weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable . . . an unweeded garden.? He views life with disappointment; surely no dreamer ever has these hopeless thoughts. .
The Dionysian man questions the bounds and limits of existence. So does themelancholy Dane?, Hamlet. All of his life he is taught that there is life after death and that you either go to heaven, hell, or purgatory.
