When it comes to doing what he is determined to do, he will not hesitate to kill even his closest friend, for Horatio is one of the gentle custody whom he threatens brand name in hand. Hamlets spontaneous tendencies argon therefore essentially individualistic and, the point must be emphasized, not even death of others, if need be, will stand in his way.     Th is the Hamlet whose behavior towards Rosencrantz and Guildenstern we are now to study.
