... is in Act I, iv when Hamlet threatens his friends and follows the potentially dangerous ghost into the forest without any contemplation.

"Man", in this case, refers to the power structure imposed by society.
In conclusion, Hamlet's tragic flaw is neither ...

... on Juliet’s side, because she's her mother and she has experience in marriage and should know marrying someone you do not like is not a good idea. Also, another betrayal by Lady Capulet is that she teaches Juliet to judge men by their money, their social rank and their appearance. For example, she recommended Paris to Juliet because he is rich, good looking and on the Capulet’s side. This is not good. Because Juliet really does love Romeo, and when her mother says things like that, it really makes Juliet upset, because Romeo is not rich, and their family hates her family and vice vers ...

... the end of the story. To get into more detail about the mixture of these two
classic and celebrated styles, I will use the sheet I was thankfully given by Ms.
Milliorn to nit-pick at the details of these two styles. If I would have to pick
one of the styles that my book more closely resembles it would be the detective

clues, but the difference is that she does not even recognize that she is
