Hamlet is a play which presents
doubt as a merit opposed to a flaw
Act 1, Scene 5 Act 2 Scene 1 Act 2 Scene 2

Act 5 Scene 2 Act 3 Scene 3 Act 4 Scene 4

1- Hamlet is doubtful as he wants to spur the most revengeful revenge- and he does so.

2-Doubt leads to deceit within the monarchy
3-Doubt leads to delay




Point 1- Hamlet’s doubt makes him the best
revenger.
Hamlets doubt, as a result of a desire to perfect his revenge, leads to a long toying of his
prey of Claudius before he kills him. He ensures his time as king is miserable and
tedious, full of anxiety

Act 4 Scene 4 | Act 2 Scene 2 | Act 1 Scene 5


Act 4 scene 4
“Spur my dull revenge”

“How stand i then that have a father killed and a mother stained. Excitement of my
reason and my blood and let all sleep?” - hamlet depicts himself as a sleeping soldier.
Within the soliloquy he dissects his reasons for doubts and fuels them for a revenge.

“My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!”

“I do not know why yet i live to say ‘This things to do’: Hamlet shows uncertainty what
the source of his doubt and delay is.


Act 2, Scene 2
After seeing the players act so convincingly a death that isnt even real, hamlet questions.
