Was hamlet impulsive?

In: Hamlet [Edit categories]

Answer:

Oddly enough, yes! Despite his reputation for dithering, in stabbing the arras he commits the same sin that his role model Hercules often committed: impulsively killing someone. With a little more impulse control, Hamlet could likely have assassinated Claudius, used his reaction to the play as evidence, and ascended to the throne.
