To kill Prince Hamlet, or not to kill Prince Hamlet? This is the question that was deep in the mind of King Claudius before he made the decision to do so. First of all, Hamlet was a play written by William Shakespeare in London, England between 1600 and 1602. The play is written as a tragedy, that is, a play in which the protagonist has small flaws that ultimately lead to his downfall. Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, lives in the late medieval period in Europe, in Denmark. He seeks revenge on his uncle, who he believes killed his father to gain the throne. He learns that his uncle killed his father, thanks to his father's ghost, who periodically arrives to give Hamlet advice in certain situations. Hamlet is in a confusing relationship with the daughter of King Claudius' assistant, which, combined with other events, ultimately leads Hamlet to go insane, which is one of the reasons King Claudius justifies the murder of Hamlet. Another reason why King Claudius seeks his nephew's death is that he fears that Hamlet will know that he killed the old king, and he does not know what Hamlet will do, in his crazy state of mind. If Claudius had used the seven steps of the decision-making process, he could have discovered an alternative solution, which could have kept him alive. Claudius had to think about the decision that had to be made, what to do with the mentally unstable. Prince Hamlet. Claudius should know that he could face punishment, such as beheading or exile, if he killed Hamlet. He might feel a strong sense of guilt if he were to kill his own nephew, his blood relation. He must consider the fact that Hamlet is a very good sword...... middle of paper......val is a key aspect to consider when making decisions. Based on this, Claudius chose the right option. If Claudius had used the seven steps of a decision-making process, it would have saved his life, as described above. Claudius had to decide what to do with the young and crazy Prince Hamlet. He had the opportunity to talk to Hamlet, lie to him that he wanted to kill him and find a solution. Claudius could resign from the king and go into exile in a foreign country. The third option he could have done would have been to publicly humiliate Hamlet to make him hated throughout the country, and then when he killed Hamlet, no one would notice. The best option would have been for Claudius to resign as king, which would have allowed Claudius to survive. With this information, Claudius has the answer to his question: "To kill Prince Hamlet, or not to kill Prince Hamlet ??”
