This research is intended to cast light on some facets of Shakespeare's main character: Hamlet, particularly, his inaction and action. It also determines the point in which Hamlet exceeds the traditions of a revenge drama, as long as it belongs in some sort, to this literary genre. How does it deviate from it these traditions? It is known that revenge drama is principally based on the action of revenge. Its protagonist takes action of revenge. But Hamlet, although he doubts that his Uncle Claudius and his mother intrigued to kill his father, King of Denmark, cannot revenge himself upon the conspirators until too late in the play and it is revenge which leads to the collapse of the whole country action. It also tries to touches upon the reason behind Hamlet's inaction and indecisiveness. It attributes Hamlet's retreats to his state of mind which plunders him of his will to perform his retaliation. Hamlet, as per to his perspective, is in a dire need to something legal to justify the killing of his uncle.
