Claudius, from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," can be seen as a complex character rather than simply weak. While he demonstrates political savvy and manipulative prowess by securing the throne and maintaining power, his moral failings and guilt over murdering his brother reveal deeper vulnerabilities. His internal conflict and inability to fully commit to his actions, especially in moments of hesitation, expose a certain weakness in character. Ultimately, his complexity allows for interpretations of both strength and weakness.

All this meant that Claudius was worrying about Hamlet instead of running the kingdom, which he had been doing quite well before all this. Claudius says, "like the hectic in my blood he rages."--it is becoming an obsession.
