Does Hamlet cause his own downfall? Or did a lust for power lead to his demise? What are the causes of Hamlet’s mental deterioration throughout the play? Is he truly “mad”? How might some other course of action (other than Hamlet’s “madness”) give Hamlet the effect he desires? Does the main character deserve what he gets?

At the close of the play, Fortinbras says, "Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage, / For he was likely, had he been put on, / To have proved most royal" (5.2.4). Fortinbras, who never met Hamlet, characterizes him as a good soldier who would have made a good king. How do minor characters contribute to the play's action and themes?
