Ok..here's a different view on Hamlet...where was he at the beginning of the play
Studying in Germany..and what was germany know for at that time...protestant thought...
So, there is a very good chance that hamlet was there studying religious theory, which
makes him a theologian. Therefore, Hamlets indecisive nature may not be what it seems.
It may actually have been a result of his schooling and the need to reason everything out
in his head before he acted. Hamlet learned to pick through details and more details
while studying religion and it is not a far cry to expect him to do the same with real
life problems. This is just a thougt..Im currently taking a class and this is one of the
theories we are studying. Yes Hamlet was indecisive, but there is a chance that it was
not simply because he was weak or something..It may have been because that was how he had
learned to deal with a problem.Posted by Steve P. on April 14, 1997 at 19:47:25
