Was there a true resolution by the end of the play? What is Hamlet’s attitude in the final scene? Has he resolved the conflict between thought and action?

The resolution of the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare is a matter of interpretation. By the end of the play, all the major characters, including Hamlet, are dead. This could be seen as a resolution in the sense that all conflicts and plots are brought to an end. However, it could also be seen as a lack of resolution because many of the issues raised in the play, such as the morality of revenge and the meaning of life and death, are left unresolved.

In the final scene, Hamlet's attitude is one of resignation and acceptance. He has come to terms with his impending death and is ready to face it. He says, "We defy augury. There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is all." This suggests that he has accepted his fate and is prepared for whatever comes next.

As for the conflict between thought and action, it could be argued that Hamlet has resolved this by the end of the play. Throughout the play, Hamlet struggles with indecision and inaction. He spends a lot of time thinking and contemplating, but often fails to act. However, in the final scene, he takes decisive action by killing Claudius. This could be seen as a resolution of his internal conflict. However, it could also be argued that his action is too late and ultimately futile, as it results in his own death as well.
