answer:Every moment, we all have a choice of what to do or not to do, and we have to live with what follows from each choice. The play explores the dilemmas and considerations rather well. I wouldn’t say Hamlet was a jackass, except to Ophelia. I don’t want to get into personal details, but I feel like this has come up frequently for me. There are many times I would have preferred to take actions, and chosen not to. Often because the morality is almost never black and white, particularly because actions often have consequences other than one intends. Courage in love are my main regrets. With villains, I’ve actually liked most of the few times I’ve acted, and mostly been satisfied that when I didn’t act, that there would have been worse negative consequences than what would’ve been achieved. I do think though that there are plenty of people who deserve some justice and don’t get it. I’ve met a lot of discouraged family lawyers, including some that have advocated vigilante violence against perpetrators. I’ve also heard a few stories about people who managed to get some retribution. But even child abusers were/are victims, too. There are better solutions. Having a good life and evicting abusive people from one’s life tends to be much better than trying to go after anyone unless it’s the last resort and it protects victims from ongoing abuse. The main choices I regret have been about romance rather than retribution. I wish I’d known what I know now, then. Don’t be afraid to express love. Love genuinely. Leave when it’s not working.
