Character Development Analysis on Prince Hamlet

Prince Hamlet is a fictional character, the protagonist in Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet. He is the Prince of Denmark, nephew to Claudius and son of the previous King of Denmark, Old Hamlet. Throughout the play Hamlet stresses with whether, and how, to avenge the murder of his father, and fights with his own sanity along the way.
From the moment we meet Hamlet we are captivated by his actions and way of thinking. He is a man of disagreements; he is reckless yet cautious, courteous yet uncivil, tender yet ferocious. We see the cautious, courteous and tender side of Hamlet in the beginning of the play and as the story unfolds we find that there is more to Hamlet than we think. In his first soliloquy we notice the reckless yet cautious Hamlet:
O that this too sullied flesh would melt,
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter. O God! God! (i. ii. 129-132)
The previous quote exhibits Hamlets reckless attributes through him questioning why suicide is not allowed and his cautiousness because he is not going to commit suicide but beg to God.
In my perspective, in the beginning of the play Hamlet seemed to be one who questions things before acting on anything:
With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls?
Say why is this? Wherefore? What should we do? (i.iv. 56-57)
He still continues to do so throughout the play but mostly in the beginning he is always asking himself why? After meeting the ghost of his father and being told by it to avenge his death Hamlet is confused and asks himself once again what the consequences could be before he plans out anything. He realizes that the ghost could be just an illusion of his father sent to make him do evil, so he devises a plan to prove to himself if the ghost is good or not, and to find out more about the possibility of Claudius being the prime suspect for Old Hamlet’s death.
