Hamlet and Don Quixote tactics in diplomacy
People say that there are two contrasting types of personalities in the world. One is the Hamlet personality type and the other resembles Don Quixote. The Hamlet type is the one who is lost in thought and discreet, and thus gives in to vacillation. The Don Quixote type is foolhardy and indiscreet, and thus brash and unbridled. Both have upsides and downsides, depending on the situation. Indeed, there are times when you should be discreet like Hamlet and there are times when you should act audaciously, like Don Quixote. Some combination of the two might therefore seem ideal, especially in diplomacy.
Hamlet is a well-known tragedy by William Shakespeare, written sometime between 1599 and 1601. The play portrayed Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, as an introverted man who is markedly indecisive and reserved. He yearns to take revenge on his uncle, who assassinated his father and usurped the throne. Yet, he agonizes and hesitates over practically every decision, even the decision to end his life. Hence, his famous soliloquy: “To be, or not to be, that is the question.” Undoubtedly, Hamlet is a man of thinking and brooding, not a man of action. Therefore, Hamlet represents those who are reclusive and pensive.
Don Quixote, a 17th century Spanish novel by Miguel Cervantes, evolves around the romantic adventures of a deluded noble named Don Quixote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. A burlesque in essence, the novel ostensibly parodies the obsolete knighthood by satirizing Don Quixote’s eccentric behaviors. At the same time, however, the novel also criticizes a vulgar contemporary world that has forgotten chivalry.
