I need help! Is Hamlet a "sweet prince", too sensitive for a world as "rank" as Denmark has become? Is he ambitious for the throne of Denmark?

Please help as soon as possible!


also, do you think he felt obligated to take revenge on claudius because his father's ghost told him to? and if so, does that make him weak?

I think that Hamlet isn't "too sensitive". You must realize that he led most of the people in his life to believe that he was crazy. That act takes guts.
I don't believe that he wants the throne, I think that he wants justice.
I think that the Ghost gives Hamlet a reason to kill Cladius. Hamlet already hated Cladius, the Ghost just gave him a reason.
