Dilemmas are inevitable; we take care of it every day. Some are tiny and insignificant while others can be mountainous and life-changing. However, regardless of the nature of the difficult situation, the individual faced with it will always inevitably find themselves caught in a conflict situation. The different approaches we can take to resolve this conflict will ultimately determine the direction our lives take. Sometimes these results can even affect the lives of people around us. Although nothing is set in stone, certain procedures tend to produce better results than others. In the play Hamlet, William Shakespeare develops the idea that when faced with a dilemma, one can be too contemplative, rash, or rational, with each method of resolution leading to radically different results. When faced with a crisis, we can be too analytical. on the different alternatives proposed, which often leads to disastrous results. The ghost of Hamlet's father appears to him and begs him to take on the difficult task of avenging his heinous murder at the hands of his brother, King Claudius – a challenge that Hamlet readily accepts. He begins feigning madness after his encounter with the ghost, which is part of his plan to not arouse Claudius' suspicion by appearing harmless and not posing a threat. However, as the play progresses, Hamlet finds it increasingly difficult to carry out such an arduous act. Months after the encounter with the ghost, he still cannot carry out his revenge, plagued by doubt, admitting that “conscience makes cowards of us all” (III, i, 84). He goes so far that he designs a "mouse trap play" in which he asks a group of actors to reenact the murder of King Hamlet...... middle of paper..... .play the character as he survives, restores his father's lost territories and, above all, is crowned the new king of Denmark. When faced with a problem, we may choose to solve it by being overthinking, reckless, or practical, each leading to a different outcome. These three examples in Hamlet are obviously demonstrated by Shakespeare. Hamlet's delayed actions due to much deliberation, coupled with Laertes' impetuous actions, ultimately lead to the downfall of everyone involved. Meanwhile, Fortinbras, who acts logically with implementation, is the only one of the three characters to survive the play and wins with great triumph. The results of these different methods that one can use to resolve one's dilemmas, whether with extreme thinking, recklessness or rationality, show that acting with the latter results in a superior result..
