You are so right about Hamlet being flawed and I think that
it is also because of his flaws that we like him. Hamlet is
a character who reminds us of oursemves over and over again.
Many of the frustrations Hamlet feels occur within most of us,
and we can therefore identify with him on certain levels.
Hamlet is not a perfect character, nor should he be. For all
you people who think that Hamlet is without flaws, try to
think of one person you know who is also without flaws.
You just can't do it, so it makes no sense to think that Hamlet
is without flaws, for he certainly has his.Posted by J.H.P. on April 08, 1997 at 08:07:19
