Fortinbras' assessment of "Hamlet," at the end of the play is, "or he was likely, had he had been put on the throne to have proved most royally" (5.2, 390-391). However, Fortinbras doesn't see the Hamlet that the audience witnesses during the play. According to Hamlet's actions and dispositions, he would not prove most royally because he was mentally unstable, he was too indecisive on making decisions, and he placed his personal issues above his public duties. One important quality of leadership is that a leader should be of sound mind and body. Leaders have to be role models for their people. Although Hamlet's insanity "might have been  faked and part of his strategic plan to catch Claudius, his irrational behaviour has serious consequences because he does not think about how his madness affects others. As part of being mad, he only sees the world from his perspective. For example, when Hamlet acted insanely to Ophelia and denies he ever loved her, he fails to see how this hurts her deeply. Ophelia's responses to Hamlet's behaviour is, "O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!" (3.1, 152). This affects her so much that she says, " O, woe is me, to have seen what I have seen, see what I see" (3.1, 163). She realizes that her future with Hamlet is doomed because of his mental instability. Her future is made even worse, when Hamlet's instability is further shown when he kills Polonius in a fit of rage by stabbing at the curtain. This irrational behaviour adds to Ophelia's despair by having lost the two men she loves. A good leader should always be thinking about the impact their words and actions have on their subjects. A second important quality of a good leader is the ability to make clear and good decisions for his people. Throughout the play Hamlet is indecisive on his decisions which causes major problems. His first major indecision is when he asks himself, "O, that this too too-solid flesh would melt" (1.2, 129). This
