Hamlet is really courageous in that he does non fear a challenge. Hamlet at times can turn out to be really cautious, at times he thinks when he should move, nevertheless when you are king there can be advisers for such affairs. “ Beware Of entryway to a wrangle ; but being in, Bear’t that the opposed may mind of thee. Give every adult male thy ear, but few thy voice ; Take each adult male ‘s animadversion, but reserve thy judgement. Costly thy wont as thy bag can purchase, But non express ‘d in illusion ; rich, non gaudy ; For the dress oft proclaims the adult male. ” ( William Shakespeare, “ Hamlet ” , Act 1 Scene 3 ) Many times in history leaders should hold thought, when alternatively they acted on urge, for illustration Odysseus, from “ The Odyssey ” when he and his work forces escaped the island of the Cyclops alternatively of inserting his tail and being happy with his little triumph after taking legion loses, he alternatively taunted the Cyclops and brought injury near his crew and to himself. For Odysseus did non cognize that the male parent of this monster was the H2O God Poseidon. Odysseus like all heroes, his chief ruin was hubris, and because Hamlet thinks so before he acts he avoids errors like this adding to his properties as a good leader. He can besides be every bit courageous as Hercules, for case when he travels to see the Ghost of his male parent for the first clip, he could hold sunk back and ran from the really sight of it, but alternatively he ran after it and confronted the Ghost and demanded replies. He did non fear what he could non understand as his comrades that accompanied him did, alternatively he was self-asserting and got to the underside of the affair. Another history when Hamlet showed speedy thought and courage was when he intercepted a missive from his Uncle Claudius to the King of England telling the decease of Hamlet on his reaching to England, alternatively of running and concealing Hamlet used his marbless and changed the missive from his caput to be had to that of his Jesuss. Then in a challenge of blades by Laretes, known to be one of the really best fencer in his land, Hamlet does non back down. Hamlet takes the challenge caput on turn outing his worth in conflict.

The fact that Hamlet is his male parent ‘s boy is really of import, he was at that place behind his male parent ever watching and detecting how a male monarch did and should act, he saw his male parent ‘s courage and his errors and Hamlet could utilize all these experiences to do himself a better male monarch even better than his male parent. He is of a lineage of male monarchs, a tradition that is to be kept and Hamlet would hold been following in line. The occupation of taking the throne was in his blood when he assumed the duty, ready or non he would hold known what to make. “ There is nil either good or bad, but believing makes it so. ” ( William Shakespeare, “ Hamlet ” , Act 2 scene 2 )

Hamlet portrayed trueness to his state his male parent and his female parent. He even showed love and trueness to his female parent after he found out the function she took portion in helping Claudius to take the life of her first hubby, the male monarch and take the throne and her bed. She wittingly lay in bed with the adult male that killed her conserve the male monarch and Hamlet still loved and forgave her. He became angry with her at times but his trueness was non shaken. He showed an huge sum of trueness to one individual firm throughout the drama, Horatio. Horatio was Hamlet ‘s intimate and best friend throughout much of the drama Horatio was the lone individual that Hamlet could genuinely swear. Horatio was the lone adult male that did non play pawn to the male monarch in an effort to alter and change the feelings of Hamlet in the affairs of his male parent ‘s decease and his new uncle-father-in-law. Hamlet ‘s ultimate commitment lied with his male parent, his male parent asked Hamlet to revenge his decease by any agencies necessary and if it meant to defame his name or the name of his household so be, it or if it finally meant decease so he shied off from that neither. “ Neither a borrower nor a loaner be ; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the border of farming. This above all: to thine ain ego be true, And it must follow, as the dark the twenty-four hours, Thou canst non so be false to any adult male. ” ( William Shakespeare, “ Hamlet ” , Act 1 scene 1 )

Hamlet attended the University of Wittenberg and he was non at that place merely as a baronial trophy he learned and he was a extremely educated adult male. Throughout much of the drama Hamlet is intoxicated with choler, retribution and sorrow, and these emotions clouded his head and altered his actions. While Hamlet was non himself at times and he would state things that many thought off the wall or out of the ordinary, his following words could do complete sense and be attractively stated. Hamlet showed his intelligence by showing his ideas and feelings on complex thoughts such as ; life and decease, humanity, human nature, and light and dark. “ To be, or non to be: that is the inquiry:

Whether ‘t is nobler in the head to endure. The slings and pointers of hideous luck, Or to take weaponries against a sea of problems, And by opposing stop them? To decease: to kip: No more ; and by a slumber to state we end The grief and the thousand natural dazes That flesh is heir to, — ‘t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish ‘d. To decease, to kip ; To kip: perchance to dream: ay, there ‘s the hang-up: For in that slumber of decease what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal spiral, Must give us intermission: there ‘s the regard That makes catastrophe of so long life ; For who would bear the whips and contempts of clip, The oppressor ‘s incorrect, the proud adult male ‘s contumely, The stabs of detested love, the jurisprudence ‘s hold, The crust of office and the spurns That patient virtue of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his rests make With a bare poniard? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sudate under a weary life, But that the apprehension of something after decease, The undiscover ‘d state from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us instead bear those ailments we have Than fly to others that we know non of? Thus scruples does do cowards of us all ; And therefore the native chromaticity of declaration Is sicklied o’er with the pale dramatis personae of idea, And endeavors of great pith and minute With this respect their currents turn amiss, And lose the name of action. ” ( William Shakespeare, “ Hamlet ” , Act 3 scene 1 )

Hamlet loves his state and in return his state loves him, he would without a uncertainty have the religion and regard of his state. Respect, a really of import facet to a relationship, every relationship that is to work must hold regard. The love shown to him by his state may really good hold kept Hamlet alive throughout much of the drama. In the drama before his male parent ‘s decease everyone in Denmark wanted to be with or more like Hamlet, he was a national icon. After the decease of Hamlet ‘s male parent the state wept for him and showed him commiseration, for they loved their prince. In the prince was the religion of the people.

Claudius became the male monarch through the act of lese majesty, killed his brother and committed other offenses like incest that would oppugn his ability to function as a “ good ” male monarch. That does non intend he is incapable of functioning as a true leader but there is grounds that he may be prone to corruptness. Claudius had the desire to be male monarch and he had some of the basic traits of a good leader but that was non plenty to acquire him through. Claudius like Macbeth suffers from similar immoralities, they kill the male monarch to go male monarch and the lone thing that becomes of their promotion is prevarications, slaying and devastation. They are non able to even bask their spoils because the unresolved slaying looms over their caputs and rains down upon them a shower of prevarications and blood that haunt their dreams. Shakespeare follows a tendency in his dramas there is a pot scaremonger in each of the dramas in Macbeth it was Macduff, ever from the start oppugning Macbeth ‘s trueness and kingship, and so in Hamlet it was the Prince Hamlet that would non allow the issue of the slaying of his male parent leave the head of Claudius ‘ head go forthing him everlastingly unsettled. When sorrows come, they come non individual undercover agents, but in battalions. ( William Shakespeare, “ Hamlet ” , Claudius, Scene V )

In comparing to Hamlet, Odysseus is clearly a hero, particularly when he faces moral quandary and chooses non to fall quarry to his enticements. He makes determinations that would qualify him as a hero when he chooses adversity and decease with his household. “ My lady goddess, here is no cause for choler. My quiet Penelope-how well I know- Would look a shadiness before your stateliness, Death and old age being unknown to you, While she must decease. Yet, it is true, each twenty-four hours I long for place, long for the sight of place. If any God has marked me out once more For shipwreck, my tough bosom can undergo it. What adversity have I non long since endured At sea, in conflict! Let the test semen. ” The inquiry that presents itself is, is Odysseus a good leader or a good male monarch in Odysseus instance they work individually. Odysseus is a swayer of his lands but he is ne’er at that place to govern his lands or his people. He alternatively embarked on pursuits to derive glorification and award, these were self-fulfilling aspirations. A male monarchs position is in his people, a male monarch must be self-less and but his peoples best involvement before his ain if he wished to be a good male monarch. He was non out contending for his people, his land or his household but he was seeking glorification, a end that entirely benefitted him. Odysseus was non present, non intending that he did non care, or at times he wanted to return more than anything but it was simple, he was non present to govern, non doing him an ideal male monarch. As Odysseus ‘s regulation as a leader of his crew of work forces, he had their extreme regard and they trusted him and served him above all to the decease. Odysseus put his work forces before himself in certain state of affairss but at other times he used his work forces as mere pawns to make his end. For case when Odysseus returned place and found the suers combating for his married woman ‘s bosom, alternatively of taking action and taking back his place and household he played with them and toyed with them as if he played a game cheat.

Macbeth above all else showed a combustion desire to be male monarch, so strong was his desire that he would kill for it. “ If opportunity will hold me king, why, opportunity may coronate me. ” ( Macbeth, Act I, Scene 3 ) Aside from this Macbeth was a prevaricator a liquidator and a dark cloud of his actions followed him wherever he went. Macbeth was lost to a coiling out of control of his actions, lies compounded more prevarications and to cover his paths he had to kill and to cover that up he had to lie and kill another until the procedure needed to be repeated, ne’er stoping.
