Hamlet's Tragic Flaws

Shakespeare has written many plays which revolve around the Tragic Hero. This type of character is one of Shakespeare's trade marks, and is a complex psychological riddle. A Tragic Hero is one who brings about his own downfall through a flaw in his character. Many are royalty, or of noble blood, and seem to be quite happy and quite sane. But as the play's plot unfolds, we find that the hero has both external, and …

…even rely on himself. Alone, he was weak in spirit, and only through desperation, did he achieve his goal. From this play, we learn that it is important to act upon decisions, because the opportunity may vanish. As life goes on, you find that it's not the times in which you failed, that you regret the most, it's the times you never even tried. So take chances in your life, and the rewards will come.
