How is Hamlet a tragic hero? Explain.

Hamlet has all the good traits needed to be a tragic hero.  He is brave and daring.  One example of this is that when he went to England, he was taking a big risk.  If his plan didn't work, he would have been executed.  He is also loyal.  His loyalty to his father, was the reason he was so angry at Claudius and his Mother.  Another trait was that he was intelligent.  He was able to think up the idea of faking insanity, in order to get more information about Claudius.  But Hamlet like all other tragic hero's had a flaw.  He couldn't get around to doing anything, because he couldn't move on.  He was a full grown adult, yet he still attended school in England, because he couldn't move on.  Also, it
took him a long time to stop grieving about his father, because he didn't want to move past that part of his life.  And after he finally did, Hamlet couldn't get around to killing Claudius.  He kept pretending he was insane even after he was sure that Claudius killed his father.  The final example of Hamlet's inability to get around to do anything was that he was dating Ophelia for a long time, but never got around to marrying her.  Hamlet is a perfect example of a tragic hero.  He was brave, loyal, and intelligent, but he couldn't move on past one thing, which led to his death.  He had a choice of how he would deal with Claudius, and like other tragic hero's made a decision.
