"Hamlet is very special among other revenge plays because the action we expect to see is postponed. It is caused by Hamlet‘s need to obtain certain knowledge of what he is doing. This play poses many questions- Is it realy king‘s ghost? Can the ghost have reliable knowledge of his death? Can Hamlet recognize Claudius‘s soul just by watching his behaviour? The most often it is regarded as the play of “fatal error” of irresoluteness as well as with Othelo we can speak about jealousy. Hamlet is just a young, sensitive boy whose conscience forces him to revenge his father‘s murder after his ghost came to tell him the truth that he was murdered by his brother Claudius.
Ghost:“Now, Hamlet Hear: Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, A serpent stung me; so the whole ear of Denmark is by a forged process of my death rankly abus‘d: but know, thou noble youth, the serpent that did sting thy father‘s life now wears his crown.”
Hamlet: “O my prophetic soul! My uncle!”(Shakespeare 23)
Hamlet gives us an impression that he is like a philosopher who needs to deal with the pain he feels about the lost of his father.The circumstances reveals his good heart what gets him to action. Gradually he loses his faith whether the gost was really his father or if it was the Devil who wanted to drive him to do such a horrible act as murder what produces his irresoluteness...."
