In "Hamlet" William Shakespeare describes a man who has gone mad because of a ghost that he saw which led to many flaws. The killing of Polonius, Claudius and being misled by the ghost were all major flaws.

After Hamlet draws his blade, runs it through the drapes, and kills Polonius. He asks? "Is it the King?"(Meyer 493).Then is drawn into a heated conversation with his mother, Gertrude, over the short wait after old king Hamlets death for her to remarry. He says "Almost as bad, good mother, as kill a king, and marry his brother"(Meyer 493). The major effect of his killing of, Polonius, was his death. This ignited Laertes' revenge on Hamlet which resulted in Hamlet's death. Just as the killing of Polonious was a tragic flaw of Hamlets, so was the killing of Claudius. This flaw of Hamlets which was to be the solo revenge of Claudius brought upon the death of Gertrude, Polonius, and Laertes. The madness in Hamlet was to be unleashed only on Claudius. Yet Hamlet's path of destruction killed his mother, she was killed by the poison meant for Hamlet by Claudius. Laertes death was brought on by the killing of Polonius. The duel between Hamlet and Laertes, which was the arranged revenge on Hamlet, was the final stand of each. Although the killings Hamlet carried out were flaws he possessed. .
