In the play, the main character Hamlet has conflicts that pulls him into different directions, such as him mulling over the thought of life or death, and his conflict of finding the right time to kill Claudius, which both contribute to the main themes of the play. Hamlet is conflicted over whether he should take his own life or not. He doesn't want to stay living his life any longer because he is miserable. His father just died and his mother has already moved on to somebody else. At the same time, he is fearful of being sent to hell for eternity because he was raised as Christian. Another example of a conflict is when Hamlet was questioning whether he should kill Claudius when he was praying or not. He had the perfect chance to, but ultimately decided against it because since he was praying, Claudius would go to heaven. These body paragraphs work to support my thematic argument because Hamlet is conflicted in both of these situations with two forces that are tugging at him, which both work as puzzle pieces to build the themes of the play.
