Hamlet of course questions everything. His crest is ?
But Cloten make's the perfect point that Hamlet sees
consequences, all consequences, and weighs them, each for
their weight and effect, and in finally deciding to kill his
father's killer, it's not for the sake of honor, or revenge,
or to preserve the idea of noble royalty, or even out of hatred.
It's because he can't live on the same planet with his father's
killer. It is only his own soul Hamlet thinks about, and in killing
Claudius, he finally decieds that somehow, in death, can go on living.
Or at least go on.
