He became his own worst enemy. "I am at the edge of hearing horrors, yes, but I must hear! Those words show that he was a stubborn fickle individual. Oedipus’ intentions were strong, he tried to find witnesses and people who knew anything about king Lais� .....

Furthermore, the availabili .....

In Act III, scene I, line 55, “To be or not to be...”, Hamlet displays his indecisiveness by thinking about suicide because of the situation he is in. He would rather be dead than live with the thought of his father's death going unavenged. He is scared to get revenge because he found out from a ghost and he doesn't know what to do. In line 83,” Thus conscience takes a major part in the thought and action of murder. This is why he delays so long to commit the murder. An insane person would not wait. They would be more apt to .....
