Hamlet:
Hamlet is the main character in this thick blood thirsty tragic plot. Hamlet was away at university when his father died and was so a unaware that his mother married Claudius (his uncle). He was outraged by this and almost immediately knew there was something wrong and this whole event was planned. Hamlet is the only actor in the play to speak to the ghost who made Hamlet’s doubts on Claudius the reality. The ghost told Hamlet that Claudius poisoned him and that the ghost (in the figure of his father) and wanted revenge on Claudius. Hamlet still had a tough decision to make because if he did what his father wants him to do he would to hell but he had to follow his father’s orders. Hamlet apparently turns mad according to the other characters but they don’t know what the ghost told Hamlet. Hamlet gets a chance to kill Claudius in a swordfight with Laertes (who wants to kill Hamlet because had accidently killed Polonius his father). Laertes stabs Hamlet with his poisoned sword but Hamlet uses Laertes' weapon against him and stabs Laertes and he dies and Hamlet stabs Claudius and he dies then finally Hamlet himself dies. Hamlet comes across as a strong leading person who believes in himself whatever he does and he might also come across as a selfish person due to the quote,
