He does many things he would not have done before the passing of his father. This consists of poor treatment towards his mother and the innocent Ophelia, killing Polonius and his suicidal thoughts. Based on his actions, it can be said that the cause of Hamlet's downfall (Death) is his own doing via Karma. Which seems to be a reoccurring theme in the play. Normally in any old cliche story, the main character wins at the end of the story. Hamlet did not have his happy ending and this is his own doing. Had he kept his sanity and continued to be a 'good' person, he might've lived. He had to pay for all his wrong doings and in turn died.]]> 2020-07-27 04:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663016006 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663025939 2020-07-27 04:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663025939 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663028681 2020-07-27 04:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663028681 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663030858 2020-07-27 04:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663030858 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663033511 2020-07-27 04:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663033511 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663036610 2020-07-27 04:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663036610 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663037629 2020-07-27 04:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663037629 335546263 https://padlet.com/335546263/5h2fjj2u0i4awca2/wish/663414619 Claudius was a competent ruler but had a dark secret and greedy/selfish tendencies.
