Conflict in Hamlet

Hamlet is greatly affected by the sudden change of things and the mysteries, making him undergo constant mental torture as he tries to figure out how he could possibly handle the whole issue and get content. All these starts when he realizes that his uncle Claudius the king, has just killed his father and is now the new husband to his mother, changing his character from a kind-hearted man to a very arrogant person. The decision on whether to seek revenge by killing Claudius is, however, dependent on many factors and Hamlet has got to have a lot of questions to answer by himself before reaching a final conclusion on how to solve the problem (Shakespeare 7). As he is not sure if whether killing the king would be the best way to seek revenge, Hamlet has to wait for a very long time to come up with a more convenient solution to his problem that he is much sure of, and this gives him some kind of peaceful heart and reassurance that at some point things will turn just the way he wants them to be.

The state of confusion that Hamlet finds himself in makes him experience much of internal conflict within himself, and this puts pressure on him to strive and get a solution. As a strategy to confirm his suspicions that his uncle is responsible for the death of his father, Hamlet comes up with an idea to add more similar scenes to what happened to his father to the play so as to judge from the king's reaction if he is guilty, and sure enough, it is very evident. Hamlet waits for a very long time to take revenge and within the process of waiting, he finds himself killing around six people just due to mere reasons that he could easily control, and this sees him exiled to England by the new king (Wagenknetch 190).
