Key words: revenge, hesitation, humanism
The most distinct temperament of the leading character Hamlet is hesitation. Hamlet makes his decision to revenge for his father after meeting the spirit, and he could have many chances to kill the murderer, but he always heisted to do it for some reasons. “to be or not to be, that is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them, to die to sleep no more. And by a sleep to say we end the heartache, and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to”. These words embody his hesitation well. After he met with his father’s spirit, he starts to suspect whether the words of a ghost should be trusted, and what if his father’s spirit is from a devil who wants to fool him and set him up. His uncle is a king with a lot of bodyguards around everyday, so it is difficult to kill him. And what makes him more hesitating is that his mother has married his uncle, and if he kills the king, she will cry her heart out. Hamlet loves his mother so much that he doesn’t want to see his mother heartbroken. His hesitation and depression torture him everyday, until one day, he invited a drama group into the palace to perform for the king and queen. He himself made the playbook about how the old king was killed, and when his uncle watched the play, Hamlet noticed his uncle was extremely nervous which makes him sure that his uncle is the murderer and he must fulfill his promise to kill him. On the way to his mother’s room, he saw the murderer is alone. He took out the sword, but his hesitation made him put his sword back again. If he didn’t hesitate to kill his uncle, he would not die in the duel, and his mother, Ophelia and laertes will not die without his hesitation. His character leads to the tragedy.
