What are some examples in the text that show Hamlet's indecisiveness, his "tragic flaw"?

we must take into account the cirstances,first the sadness and grief arising from the loss of his father,and the shattering of his own ideals,second his comms with the spook of his old man, induces a paralysing shock,and third,the mission, the ghost of his pops gives him ,is fraught with difficulty,moral and practical,each of these factors weighs heavy upon the other.he is asked to right a wrong by revenge,he wants payback to revenge his dad,but he tells himself that he is in danger of becoming a murderer himself,hence he is between a rock and a hard place,thus he attacks not the person of his enemy ,but his conscience.the only plan he comes up with is to be ready and wait upon providence to fulfil his mission.hamlet delays and pauses a long time in act II.2.his world has become; 'an unweeded garden;things rank and gross in nature possess it merely'.he is in no state to strike.see the Prayer Scene,that proves it.i point you to act III.Scene 4,this is the greatest exposition of character and pion,aside from the main action the death of polonius has muchos important results,leading to disaster ,ie Ophelias death,the treachery of laertes.Lisa, to sum up, i wouldnt want Hamlet in my Company.he'd get good guys killed.i wouldnt want him on an OP.he dont cut the mustard.
