The main character Hamlet was a young man, he was King's of Denmark son

In my opinion hi was clever, emotion, kind and brave person. After death of his father he was very sad and worried about this tragedy. His worries also were related with his mother's new husband, King Claudius. Hamlet suspicioned that Claudis murdered his father and intuition did not fail him. He saw ghost of his father and came to spoke with him like a brave man. When he known truth he promised to do all that asked for by father and kept his promise. After checking father's tale regarding murder by performance, Hamlet wanted to save the life of his mother and tried to spoke with her. He loved mother, although her married with murdered of Hamlet's father. Hamlet wanted to defended her.

When Hamlet killed King Polonius by mistake and his love Ophelia dead, he behave himself like brave man and did not afraid that people became against him. He was destroyed by these events but did not give up. He accepted offer from Prince Laetres to participate in duel and fight honestly. After dishonest win with poisoned weapone by his opponent Hamlet find out that he dead in an hour. He came to his palace and murdered King Claudis, and dead himself.

He have kept his promise to father and defended mother, but unfortunately dead himself.
