Hamlet

Is Hamlet incapable of action? when he is confronted with a problem he doesn't do anything, for instance when his father the king dies the kings brother takes the throne from hamlet because he is away for college. Hamlet doesn't try to take the throne back until he plans to kill his uncle. In the book he acts like he is in the grip of insanity when around others but is he really insane or just acting. When he returns home he finds his father dead, his uncle now king, and his right to rule gone. So he plots his revenge against his mother and uncle, because his mother is now his uncles wife. One night while walking among the battlements of the castle he encounters his fathers ghost and it tells hamlet that he must kill the king/Hamlets uncle. In the end Hamlet ends up dead.
