He becomes ruthless, tyrannical deceitful and dishonourable. The scene opens with Macbeth a free man, for the last time, still capable of choice between good and evil. During Macbeth’s soliloquy, he reveals his intentions. He is thoughtful, weighing up both the benefits and consequences of committing regicide. He is happy to commit murder if that was to be the end of it but he fears the consequences and is concerned that the same fate will befall him, “Bloody instructions, which being taught, return To plague the inventor”.
Hamlet also expresses the possibilities that the ghost could have been the devil. Although hamlet gets upset with himself he believes that the play he arranged would display Claudius’ guilt and then he will know for sure he killed his father. This reveals to the audience that Hamlet is a procrastinator and he is a coward. In Hamlet’s fifth soliloquy he contemplates the idea of suicide, he suggests that maybe the only reason we choose life is because we know so little about death other than it Is final. After contemplation Hamlet decides not to take his own life.
In the soliloquy, Hamlet is at first upset with himself about finding ways to avoid avenging his Father’s murder, like his spirit in ghost form told him to. This complaining turns into self hatred and then Hamlet is insulting himself outright. The main reason for this is he has agreed to get revenge on Claudius so his father’s spirit can be at peace, but he hasn’t done it yet. The fact that the Player seems to be more able to get into the mindset of revenge than he can further discourages him. This on top of the fact that Hamlet’s dad is dead and his mother married that man he hates most in the world makes for a pretty melancholy fellow.
He then comes up with a plan to have the actors put on a play that is similar to the Murder of King Hamlet. Hamlet assumes that if Claudius has a reaction towards the play, he is guilty. This soliloquy is important because it reveals that Hamlet believes that he is dull spirited, it also points out that Hamlet is frustrated at himself for not having killed Claudius yet. All Hamlet is thinking about for the duration of this soliloquy is Claudius, and how he killed King Hamlet. Toward the end, Hamlet comes up with an idea to know if Claudius is guilty.
Macbeth has just finished a powerful soliloquy in which he considers his earlier plans to murder the King. Now that he is closer to the time, he is more conscious of the potential consequences which could follow this act. He realizes that there are many reasons for which he shouldn’t kill Duncan, and only one reason to kill him; his own ambition, which is not always reliable: such an ambitious leap, he says, could only result in a very nasty fall. When Lady Macbeth enters, he announces to her that he has dropped the idea of killing the King. He explains that he is glad enough with the honors he is currently receiving and with the knowledge that he will almost certainly be appointed King at Duncan’s death, so sees no reason to rush the procedure and run the risk of getting caught.
“To be or not to be—that is the question,” to exist or not to exist is the question Hamlet faces as a series of unfortunate events weigh down his soul (3.1.64). Hamlet wants to end the pain by bringing death to himself, but thought leaves him with out action—“thus conscience does make cowards of us all,/ and thus the native hue of resolution/ is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought…/ with regard their currents turn awry/ and loose their name of action” (3.1.91-96). Death to him, he sees, is inevitable but he can’t seem to accept the thought of going into an unknown and endless sleep in which “no traveler returns” (3.1.88). Realization that death is inevitable no matter what life you’ve lived faces Hamlet once more as he gazes upon Yorick’s skull, remembering that “he hath bore me (Hamlet) on his back a thousand times” and now the only thing left of him is not his jokes or the laughter but a mere skull that too will soon become part of the earth, like Alexander the Great who, no matter how ‘great’ he was, he no longer is. Shakespeare then captures the essence of life’s cycle when
The third reason is because he made the wrong, yet right decision. I state this because in the end the good side won. Jekyll killed himself so society wouldn't suffer to mr Hyde anymore. Asa in the end of the novel the mixture was not working any longer. He may have to be Mr.Hyde forever.
Hamlets anger, which stems from his mother marrying Claudius, bears him serious thoughts of suicide. This results in an attempt at a religious and moral sin which shows a weakness in his character. Hamlet shows some moral sense when he decides not to kill himself due to religious beliefs, which is a paradox that leads to Hamlet’s downfall. His statement “thy commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain” (I.V.102-103) establishes his tragic decision to let nothing stand in the way of his vowed revenge assuring the death of Claudius, a longer life span and the immunity of punishment towards his mother. As act III begins, the reader sees Claudius’s plot against Hamlet progress.
Ultimately, the code hero will lose in his conflict with life because he will die. However, the only thing that shows of great significance is how the code hero faces death. Will the code hero cower, or will he be strong? It is said that a coward dies a thousand times, but the valiant one dies but ones. How a code hero reacts to death can teach us how to live.
After deciding that God and the Devil were unfit for the position, he was confronted by Death who he thought would be a good fit. His reasoning for this was that Death made all men equal and did not favor the rich or poor. Death affects everyone whether we like it or not. People we know often pass away, and we cannot forget that we are going to die one day as well. This story depicts not only the physical elements of death and the conflicts suffered because of it, but the psychological ones as well.
