No problem, that's what this site is for, and that's why we go
and look here once and a while. We're honoured that you took a
few of our suggestions, we're sure it will make your paper
better.
You are right in saying that Hamlet had all the tools to stop
the mess, he also had a few to many, one being his intelect and
ability to reason (minor problem though). Like we said before,
Claudius's sin WAS UNAVOIDABLE, IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED,
whether he went to God or not, this is evident by the prayer
scene. If he couldn't repent in that scene, he couldn't before
and wouldn't before. Maybe if his parents raised him as a better
Christian (whatever denomination he is) he wouldn't have killed
his brother (and slept with his sister in law).
Also it's wrong to say what the Characters should or could've
done. This is how the play was written, lets not distort it by
making it something it isn't. Yes, the characters could've done
this or that, but they didn't. Don't go too far on this thinking,
it could hurt your paper if you have a good prof.
Here's some more help if you haven't already finnished your
paper. We are happy to be of assistance and thank-you for ack-
knowledging our help.
