Answer: Hamlet is responsible for his own tragic fate. Hamlet has no control over certain events: the murder of his father, Claudius's ascension to the throne and his marriage to Gertrude. Hamlet acknowledges that fate plays a role in the way in which matters unfold: he says that 'there's a divinity that shapes our end'.
Explanation: Hamlet is seen as a tragic hero as he has doomed others because of a serious error in judgment, also Hamlet is responsible for his own fate and Hamlet has been endowed with a tragic flaw. Hamlet's flaw of irresolution essentially destroyed him, as his failure to act in previous situations led to his own death.
