From The Age Education section, article for students. "In trying
to avenge his father's death, Hamlet must struggle between the honour
code, which dictates he must kill his father's murderer, and his
morality that forbids killing another human, particularly the King,
who holds almost divine significance. Hamlet's procrastination proves
costly." Interesting discussion of Hamlet's "fatal flaw".
