The Revolt of a Prince
In the play Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare, there are numerous different characters that interact which each other to build the play. One of the main characters of this play is the prince of Denmark, Hamlet. Hamlet keeps, over the course of the story, evolving and changing at many occasions and consequently affects the course of the play.

Is it not monstrous that this player here, but in a fiction, in a dream of passion, could fore his soul to his own conceit …What would he do had he the motive and (the cue) for passion that I have?” (Act 2 sc. 2 p.117) Hamlet is at that moment really ashamed of him and realized that he has been doing nothing about the murder of his loved father. He now feels like a coward because since he learned the news, the only thing he did was to mope around like a dreamer. He swore to his father’s ghost that he will revenge him but right now he is not doing anything helpful about it. He is angry with himself for not doing anything, but now he wants the truth so he decides to act accordingly. He therefore comes up with an idea to find the veracity of what the ghost told him. He decides to create a play where the king is murderer like his father and see if Claudius reacts to it. If he does, then he will now that he is the murder and will act
