This was simply not the case in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, as the young prince unexpectedly drew out his plans for revenge over a rather large amount of time due to his own apparent weakness, inaction. "The smallest deed is greater than the grandest intention ... intellectual, and throughout the play it seemed as though the thoughts of his mind came too quickly for the actions of his body to keep up with.

Nearly all of Hamlet’s actions, with the exception of his outburst at Ophelia’s grave, were preplanned and precisely calculated. His inborn thought process prolonged his revenge, ...
- 11784: Mafia

- ... feels that there exists a separation between himself and Goldmund. In his eyes, they are not and can never be equal. He even seems to imply that he himself is unable to feel love. Narcissus's words may have been honest, but they were stated without forethought and they demonstrated a lack of caring for young Goldmund. Narcissus has basically told an idealistic boy that looks up to him, that they will never be upon the same level and can never be true friends. These are the first two major violations of my definition of love that surface. Narcissus's perceptions, which he considers to be "spoken better than usual", have caused Goldmund to flinch, as though he'd been "pierced by an arrow." Had there existed true love between the pair, Narcissus would have carefully weighed his injurious words, or perhaps not spoken them at all. Narcissus's thoughts, though carelessly spoken, do have the desired effect on Goldmund. Goldmund realizes that he does not belong in the cloister, and he ventures out into the world. It goes without saying that many ...

- ... radical changes emerge. However, policy never hardened enough, or became accepted enough, to prevent it being disintegrated when Mary came to power in 1553.

Although Hamlet may be a man who has come of ...
