Hamlet is a suspenseful play that introduces the theme of tragedy. Throughout the play, Hamlet displays anger, uncertainty, and an obsession with death. Although Hamlet is not aware of it, these emotions cause the incidents that occur throughout the play. These emotions combined with his unawareness are the main basis of the tragic hero's flaws. These flaws lead Hamlet to not be a bad man, but a regular form of imperfection that comes from being human. When Hamlet first encounters the ghost who resembles his father, it is revealed that his uncle Claudius may have been the cause of his father's death. Hamlet is therefore confused about what he should believe and how he should react. He is extremely angry at whatever truth there may be in this revelation. Can he get some knowledge from the ghost? Is the ghost what it seems or is it a misguided evil spirit? Is the ghost a reliable source for the facts of the actual crime? These questions are the cause of Hamlet's uncertainty. Hamlet tries to be realistic, but also open-minded. How can he avenge his father's death fairly and legitimately prove his father's murder without actual witnesses to the crime? This makes Hamlet think deeply. Once he believes the ghost, he must decide on a course of action. His action must justify what is right and what has been done wrong. Although Hamlet wants to take his own action of revenge, he tries to evaluate his uncle's reasons for his actions. When it becomes relevant to him that the king killed his father for the queen and the throne, he becomes even more angry at the loss of his father. The question of how to act is influenced not only by a reasonable ... middle of paper ... consideration about the afterlife, the wisdom of suicide, and what happens to bodies after death. Revenge becomes Hamlet's main goal. What Hamlet doesn't understand is that revenge comes with consequences. Through all his questions, Hamlet never wonders what might happen to him when he carries out his plan of action. This can be seen as Hamlet's major flaw. Hamlet's flaws do not make him an unjust, bad man, or an evil soul. It simply makes him a man of flaws and strong beliefs. A man seems to follow what is taught and what appears to be true. The development of action is influenced by this and leads man to do what any other person has and will always do: follow his heart.
