He following statements are taken directly from George Detmold's article, "Hamlet's 'All but Blunted Purpose'."
Which of these work best to serve as the central thesis or argument for his essay?
A. "Hamlet, then, has the heroic traits of Lear, Othello, Tamburlaine, Macbeth, and Oedipus: high intelligence, deep sensitivity, and strong will."
B. "Hamlet delays to kill his uncle only because he has little interest in doing so. His thoughts are elsewhere. Rightly or wrongly, he is preoccupied with other things."
C. "The curious thing about Hamlet is that it begins at the point where most other tragedies end: with the discovery by the tragic hero that his supreme good is forever lost to him."
D. "Most likely Hamlet is here rationalizing, trying to find an excuse for his dilatoriness, for for getting the injunction of his father—yet the excuse is a poor one, for never before has he questioned the authenticy of the ghost."
E. "Hamlet is surely the most perplexing character in English drama."
