Hamlet the Man the Son the Prince
... ” In William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, this is most certainly true for the title character. Hamlet portrays characteristics essential to be the hero that he becomes. Even in the beginning of the play it is obvious that he is a loyal son. ... Hamlet stays by his parent’s sides until the very end. ... Hamlet is always able to convey his emotions to anyone without hesitation or fear of embarrassment. Lastly, Hamlet proves that he is a noble prince of Denmark. ... Hamlet certainly meets all of these qualities, which makes him a good son, a strong man, and a noble prince.

When old Hamlet’s apparition appears, Hamlet trusts him and (eventually) does as he is told. Hamlet proclaims, “But two months dead—nay, not so much, not two! ... Hamlet will love his father forever, and now that he knows what his uncle/step-dad did to old King Hamlet, he is ready and willing to settle the scores on King Claudius. Even considering the murder of a king is a dangerous thing to do, but Hamlet is unconcerned about the possible dilemmas.
