I think that his conscience is his tragic flaw.
I think that because when Claudius was in the church if Hamlet had
not had a conscience he would have killed him then and the play
would have been done. As it is though Claudius still lives and he
is a threat to Hamlet. He also is always worried about keeping
his vow to the ghost so that keeps him occupied. That plays with
his mind and keeps him from getting his vow accomplished. I think
that hw is so worried about what will happen to him if he klls the
king that he won't do it. His conscience is in the way of him
fulfilling his own revenge.Posted by Kevin Schuster on April 14, 1997 at 08:34:06
