Why Is Hamlet Bad

355 Words2 Pages

After listening to the audio of the play and reading about it, I’m a little confused. These soldiers are looking at the old spirt of the old king of hamlet. My thinking would he was coming back to finish the Job, but he died before he could. Now I think Hamlet is a pretty good, I agree why he would have hatred for his uncle, he lost his father plus his mother marries her brother-in-law only after a few months of her husband’s death. That makes me think did Hamlet’s uncle have anything to do with his brother’s death… Hamlet really did annoy me only because he was so indecisive; after looking at it again he is just in a tragic situation and also young. As he possibly takes revenge for his father’s death, I agree nor disagree with his decision
