My character is Hamlet and I am preparing the scene III.iii. In this scene, Hamlet is hesitating whether to kill his uncle or not. By looking at this speech, I found out that Hamlet's personality is indecisive, which he can't do something at once. Also, I knew that Hamlet will move away from his uncle's door and kill him at another day like when he is doint something that has no relation with salvation.

Hamlet's father was murdered by his uncle and his mother married him just 2 months later, which made him really furious and shocked. So his behaviors against his uncle and mom became so rude and violent and he acts as he is insane. His love Ophelia also betrayed him that made him go mad. He usually talks very loudly as he is shouting.

―Hamlet, III.iii 

Now might I do it pat, now he is praying;

And now I'll do't. And so he goes to heaven;

And so am I revenged. That would be scann'd:

A villian kills my father; and for that,

I, his sole son, do this same villain send

To heaven.

O, this is hire and salary, not revenge.

He took my father grossly, full of bread;

With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May;

And how his audit stands who knows save heaven?

But in our circumstance and course of thought,

'Tis heavy with him: and am I then revenged,

To take him in the purging of his soul,

When he is fit and season'd for his passage?

No!

Up, sword; and know thou a more horrid hent:

When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage,

Or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed;

At gaming, swearing, or about some act

That has no relish of salvation it't;

Then trip him, that his heels may kick at heaven,

And that his soul may be as damn'd and black

As hell, whereto it goes. My mother stays:

This physic but prolongs thy sickly days.
