Hamlet having a problem with himself and three words that describe him - start?

I really need help in starting my Hamlet essay, i have to write about Hamlet having a problem with himself and choose three words that describe him, after i have to write three paragraphs that show why he is like that and show evidence from the book.

do you have any ideas?

1 word: doubtful/wavering --> to be or not to be

Step one: google the words hamlet, character, analysis and read what other scholars have said.
Step two: read the play and write a paragraph about an interesting scene that shows his personality.
Step three: decide the word that captures that paragraph's meaning.
Step four: repeat steps two and three two times to get the other two words.
Step five: go back and write a brilliant intro paragraph that lists those words.
Step six: write a thoughtful conclusion paragraph that reflects on the implications of these character traits.

very nice way of approaching the research
altho i'd like to point out one thing:


isn't always the most credible route, i personally prefer online databases such as gale or facts on file (our school subscribes to those), and if you don't want to pay for these infos, then use books and find criticism on hamlet's character.

Well... Google brings you to books, and all sorts of scholarly articles. You can even use Google Scholar. Google finds everything... but yes, you do need to be able to judge what is good and what is not. the first thing that often pops up in a Google search is Wikipedia, and Wiki is not usually acceptable in academic writing.
