Intriguingly, in these moments close to the ending of the play, add to the little impact from Hamlets inner conflict to his character development as a whole. From these we can fully understand that in terms of importance, his mental conflict and questions that he keeps to himself act as barrier keeping him from acting - his thoughtful nature plays a major role in delaying his revenge. His character does not develop until the very last minute when another figure must, crucially, enact brutal and extreme measures in order for Hamlet to break this metaphorical barrier and ultimately, develop.
