Shakespeare's play Hamlet is set in the Kingdom of Denmark in the early 17th century. The word tragedy means a failure of character in the hero of a tragedy that begins with his downfall. “The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark” says it all because he was prince of Denmark and was not free to carve out his own life. Hamlet, like all the other main characters, was not true to himself. When he was himself, he was like Horace, a student of Wittenberg. But as he said: "Horace, or I forget myself." He forgot himself. He erased himself and his humanist education from his brain and there, in the book and volume of his brain, he wrote his father's commandment (the voice of Denmark, sent from Hell to speak of the horrors, to breathe the contagion, revealing the secrets of his prison-house that he was forbidden to tell to mortal ears). Hamlet was taken away from himself. In Shakespeare's play Hamlet, the tragic flaw of the character Hamlet is delineated by his inability to act and make final decisions about desired goals. So in the essay below there are some examples from the book that lead Hamlet to his tragic flaw. At a certain point he is too rational and this is also one of the causes that leads to his tragic flaw. Hamlet is more like a calculated, rational and intelligent character. In fact, his calculated thoughts begin to work against him. He uses his rational thinking and hides behind excuses instead of seeking unsympathetic revenge and to kill Claudius, the false king. The evolution of Hamlet's feelings towards revenge plays an important role in creating this tragic flaw. Like from the beginning when he learns of his father's death. The intense feeling… in the middle of the card… and follow his lead too. He kills Claudius, but nevertheless this plan of action comes too late in the drama. And the tragic flaw has already decided the fate of Hamlet and the throne of Denmark. While he too dies and the kingdom is conquered. The final effect of Hamlet's tragic flaw is enhanced over time. Its effects resonate throughout the play and towards the end, where tragedy occurs. If Hamlet could have killed Claudius in a timely manner, honor and virtue could have been restored to the throne. Hamlet could also have brought everything back to normal, rebuilding ties with Ophelia and Laertes. Furthermore, the deaths of Polonius and Gertrude would have been avoided. However, the results of the flaw were exceptionally tragic. The deaths of all the characters in the work occurred following a chain of events that created tension upon tension; the result of Hamlet's inability to act and make decisions.
