Predicting the end of the story , if hamlet seeks revenge, (maybe killing his uncle) Do you guys think his revenge will pay of his anger or make his life easier? Do you think it is neccessary to take action.? Is there any other possible ways that Hamlet can do to pay of his anger.? I think he could try to assimilate with the situation he is in . But with the fact that the uncle killed his father would hard to take

Even though he tries not to kill his uncle, I think it will be hard for him to just live as if nothing ever happened. I think running away is better than just killing everyone and eventually meeting his own death, so the best thing I can think of is to leave the family. Since he knows that his uncle killed his father and his mom remarried to the uncle, he won't be able to stop himself from taking revenge.

I think it is necessary to seek revenge for his father. I think Hamlet feels some sort of responsibility as his son and especially when he thinks that ghost was his father, he cannot just run away. I do not think there is any solution for Hamlet's situation, but i think when he kills his uncle he will feel better. Knowing that his uncle killed his father and married his mom, Hamlet cannot be free from it.

It's only natural for any possible human, including the character, Hamlet to seek vengeance for his father because he knew that Claudius killed his father. So, I think just trying to adapt to the situation itself is hard. I mean, who would want to just live with the fact that your uncle killed your father, and not ever doing anything about it? It surely wouldn't be easy.

I think that Hamlet's anger would be eased after he killed his uncle but he would not be able to live a normal life anymore. It is hard to go back to normal life after all this stuff has happened to Hamlet. However, I think it is still right for Hamlet to take revenge and kill his uncle, so that it would at least ease his mind that there is some justice in this world.

I don't think revenge will pay his anger or make his life easier. But I also think that there wouldn't be a better way to pay his anger.

I think killing his uncle would make his life harder. I mean, we already know the ending of the story which is that he dies too but if he doesn't die, there would be dire consequences. He would probably be executed or jailed for the murder of the king. Either that or he might have to run away.
It might help him mentally, but that's doubtful too.

I believe that taking revenge will make Hamlet become more distressed. After he kills King Claudius, he has to live with the guilt of murdering his own uncle. I think revenge is unnessary, especially when there is no solid evidence.. Therefore, Hamlet can relieve his anger by rightfully becoming the King of Denmark. By doing this, the citizens will realize that Hamlet is a better leader than Claudius. It will definitely make Claudius look bad and will also give respect to his father by being a good king like him.

Honestly, if i were in his shoes it would be hard for me to know what to do because he is suffering a lot with his fathers death and all the difficulties that that brought to him. there are always other ways to help yourself get better but the fact that he knew that his father was killed by his won family, makes him go crazy.

Honestly, it would have to depend on the situation. If Hamlet ghost dad keeps on bothering him than he would definitely avenge his father's death. But if his father didnt approach him than he could just forget or let go of it.

It's clear that hamlet is seeking for revenge for his father. I think everyone would do the same thing like whatever he is doing right now. But I'm wondering why does hamlet delay sooooo long in avenging his father's murder? Wow I think that's such a good discussion question. Well I was him, I would... Hmm I don't know. It's hard to decide because if you knew the killer of your father lives in the same place as you are right now, you wouldn't feel like you want to kill him but you would feel insecure that everything goes in your mind.

I don't think killing his uncle would make him feel any better. Even if he kills his uncle and keeps living his life, he'll always feel that empty void inside his heart because he knows that in the end, killing his uncle won't bring his father back. He might find some comfort to know that his father would be happy in heaven/hell/wherever he is, but he won't get to live a happy life until he learns to forgive and forget.

As long as I know the fact that Claudius killed my father, I would take revenge. I don't think running away would help. It's something impossible to forget. I'm not sure if killing Claudius would pay off his anger, but I would have done the same thing.

I think his revenge is just part of paying off his anger because just revenging or killing his uncle for revenge does not mean to let his father to become alive. I think time is the best thing that will pay off his anger. However, I think it is very necessary to take this action because nobody knows if Claudius will kill more people in the future. Moreover, the other way that Hamlet can do to pay off his anger is to just make Claudius’s reputation bad and let him to live poor life.

I think Hamlet would not get better even if he revenges his father's death. Hamlet would continue hating himself for killing someone, and the world would look corrupted and depressing to him anyway. I think he should leave his country for a while to forget or think about his problems more calmly. Time can be a cure for problems, and Hamlet might get better after mourning. And he should stop being so emotional and hesitant about what to do. He should not revenge his father's death because it will only make him feel more guilty or depressed.
