In the movie called “Hamlet” written by William Shakespeare during the 1599-1602, I came to the shocking assumption that Hamlet was unable to make decisions on his own. Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, gave off the interpretation that he was in indecisive. The story is about a tragic ending built on revenging plots, greed surrounding love.

I believe that Hamlet’s disastrous weakness was his inability to make a firm choice. There's a well-known scene in "Hamlet" where he's about to kill Claudius but then stops because Claudius is praying.
