Question

Hamlet's tragic flaw is _____.

a. his undying love for his father
b. his mother's hasty remarriage
c. his inability to make and act on decisions
d. his uncle's hatred of him

Answer 1

The correct answer is C - his inability to make and act on decisions is his downfall. Yes, he did love his father to bits, but that isn't his tragic fault. "His mother's hasty marriage" isn't as well. The last option isn't correct, as he didn't really hate him, he would become king anyways by marrying his mother. His inability to act on decisions led him, and basically everyone else to their untimely death.

Answer 2

C. His inability to make and act on decisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tragic flaw is a literary device that can be defined as a trait in a character that leads to his/her downfall.

In Hamlet, his tragic flaw is his indecisiveness because of his serious thinking about whether vengeance is good or bad.
