I have to write an essay on why Hamlet is so indecisive, and I don't know what the three points are going to be?From Shakespeare's Hamlet

First of all, Hamlet himself questions whether it is to be
or not to be. In Act three, Scene one, Hamlet questions which act is more noble. Is it
more noble to suffer from wrong deeds that one has done unto one or is it more noble to
end the suffering by fighting? In this soliloquy, it is clear that Hamlet is torn
between what is more noble:

To be, or not to be, that is the
question.
Is it nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune
Or to fight against a sea of troubles,
And end
them by fighting?

Hamlet has
questions that are unanswered. He is not able to really think straight at the moment.
Should he murder Claudius or not?

If I were to write an
essay on Hamlet's indecisiveness, I would point out that it is not easy to murder
someone. Unless you have killer instincts, it is difficult to murder someone. Only evil
people sit around and premeditate someone's murder. It is not a natural instinct to
murder someone in cold blood. Clearly, Hamlet is seeking the more noble
act.

The next point I would make would be that Hamlet is
not certain that his Uncle Claudius has murdered his father. Imagine, who could do such
a thing? Again, murdering someone goes against natural instincts. How could Hamlet's
Uncle Claudius kill his own brother. That goes against the goodness of nature and the
bonds of brotherhood. Hamlet must be certain of Claudius' guilt before he can make a
decision to retaliate.

When Hamlet learned for certain of
his Uncle's guilt, again, murder does not come natural to Hamlet. He also is not sure
how to go about the murder. Hamlet desires to avenge his father's death, but the
exactness of the murder is unclear to Hamlet. One could die while murdering another.
Hamlet must take into consideration that he could die while trying to murder Claudius.
Clearly, Hamlet is stressed over his own father's murder, but he has to plan the right
way to murder his Uncle Claudius. At one point, he thought he had murdered Claudius but
it turned out to be Polonius. This murder only complicated things for Hamlet because of
his love for Ophelia.

Again, murdering someone does not
come natural to most people. Also, Hamlet had to be certain of Claudius' guilt, and
lastly, Hamlet has to find the perfect plan and perfect time to murder Claudius. He does
not desire to die in the process.

In the end, Hamlet found
the perfect time and perfect way to kill Claudius. Of course, it happens as Hamlet the
hero is dying himself:

But Hamlet is far more than an outstanding
example of the revenge play. It is, to begin, a tragedy in which the attainment of
justice entails the avenging hero's
death.

Knowing that one may
die in avenging his father's death is a good reason to be indecisive about murdering
another. In other words, it is not easy to plan to kill someone when you know that there
is a chance you may die in the process.
