An individual should not be judged simply based on their actions as it is—at times—their lack of action which determines their character. A decisive person with the rash tendency to act is not an individual with the inability to foresee the consequences; rather it is a person whose objective is far greater than the penalty. This trait greatly contrasts William Shakespeare’s prized character Hamlet: an individual lead to a state of inaction through his own conscience, introducing the dilemma of whether he is a coward. A coward in usual context is one without the courage to act, to speak up, to be truthful, to mature, to learn, to understand, and most significantly a coward is one lacking the courage to not act. It is quiet simple and cowardly to avoid all instincts and become unconsciously an individual who acts in all circumstance, without the care of consequences and consideration of the conscience. This characterization contrasts the courage of an individual who is able to control their instincts and conscience, and acquit from taking action, even when having the sole ambition to do so. In William Shakespeare’s philosophical play Hamlet, Prince Hamlet is not a coward as he is able to limit himself from committing rash actions, and through his isolation from the surrounding deception, he is able to enable a balance between wise and moral.
