Good Evening Sir or Madame,

This is essay is beautifully written and I feel blessed after reading this. It helped me a lot, and without doubt has increased my knowledge in what I have learned about in Hamlet. I felt as if there were some minor grammatical and spelling errors, but I'm sure you'll be able to proofread it again. Once again, hats off! ;)

Odd topic, though it was interesting. I think that this essay was well written.

What made you decide to write about the use of foils in Hamlet? Was it a homework assignment.

Hamlet's so called "tragic flaw" is a very hot-button issue, and it doesn't seem right that you simply assume the answer without evidence. While it does take a rather long time for Hamlet to avenge his father's death, the hesitations are within reason. He questions whether the ghost is real, or just a product of a demon. So he uses the play to make sure that Cladius murdered his father. When this is sure, he decides to wait when he catches Cladius praying, because killing him in prayer will send him to heaven. Shortly after, he is sent to England, without another opportunity to kill the king. The next time Hamlet faces the king is at the graveyard, where he is surrounded by pages, not the greatest of time to murder anyone, not to mention the king. So, the only time in the play where Hamlet is provided a chance to murder, within good reason, is at the very end of the play.

It seems by your frankness that the possibility that the tragic flaw may not even exist was not discussed. So I can't really hold this against you, but it should still be considered.
