... of his time were highly emotional creatures, and higher brain activity seems to be in short, and in Odysseus' case, valuable, order.

Hamlet Criticism

... Hamlet appears to be very caught up in his own thoughts that he doesn’t have the time or ability to carry out his plans efficiently and effectively.
