Question

What character traits are revealed through the author's use of imagery in this soliloquy given by Hamlet?

Answer 1

The answer is:

Hamlet reveals that he is thoughtful, confused, and indecisive.

In his soliloquy in "Hamlet," the protagonist exposes his contemplative, introspective personality, which is in a state of turbulence after his father is murdered and his uncle has become king and married his mother. Besides, his father's ghost has appeared and told him that he must avenge his death. As a consequence, he does not possess the ability to make a decision quicky and effectively. One important reason is that Hamlet is a sophisticated, refined prince, not a murderer, so he cannot make up his mind.
