From the Paper:

"Despite the common misconception in William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark that Hamlet is a coward and has little heart to pursue revenge, a close examination of the tragedy proves that he is actually extremely driven and very thoughtful in his revenge. In many situations through the tragedy, Hamlet appears to be scared and uncaring for his revenge; he often gives off the impression of a coward who will not stand up to Claudius. However, Hamlet shows a deep passion for his revenge, far from the uncaring character some see. There is also a distinction between thoughtful and being a coward, and if we look a little closer, we can see that Hamlet is simply considering every aspect of his revenge."
