Actually, this isn't a question. Are you asking what it means when an exam question tells you to discuss something? It means this: To "talk or write about a topic in detail, taking into account different ideas and opinions". If that's what your exam question tells you to do, go get some different ideas and opinions and start writing.
Saying "discuss Hamlet's inaction" is no more asking a question than saying "eat my shoe". It's a command, not a question. We only answer questions here.
