Hamlet, the moody Prince of Denmark, is an example cited by the author of a character in Shakespeare that has his own developed interior personality and mental life. Nietzsche saw Hamlet as the kind of man who thinks too well, as his character was more concerned with his mental life than truly changing things in Denmark.
