- Hamartia - This is Hamlet's tragic error as he did the very thing he opposed most, which is killing an innocent. Hamlet's reckless behavior results in Ophelia committing suicide, and Laertes being driven mad, two pure hearted people lives ended due to Hamlet's own impulsiveness.

- "How now! a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead!"
