…s murder must occur but the moral problems that are attached make his decision incredibly hard. Hamlet is not a killer by nature. Manipulation by the Ghost and his own mind, Hamlet is transformed from a cowardly philosophizer, truly wanting to gain revenge, into an insane desperate man, committing murder. Throughout the play Hamlet clearly vacillates between philosophizing and killing until he is forced to make a decision when his own life has been jeopardized.
