Hamlet's flaw

I think Hamlet's problem was partially his hesitation
but there's more to it. Hamlet did have good reason's for hesitating but I think there
was a lot of subconcious reasoning behind it. He says himself "thus conscience does make cowards of us all....
is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought" so to a large extent his problem was that he thought too much.
He delayed not because he was procrastinating but because when you don't really
want to do something you wait until the perfect time to do it.

What I want to know is whether or not this theme of indecision and hesitation is
a theme of Hamlet. If you can find out please E-mail me .

p.s How do I submit ?
