The characters in Hamlet are developed through Internal thoughts. Hamlet suffers thoughts of suicide but is also too worried about what happens after death. His contradictory attitude as well as his unnatural actions reveal the damaging effects of the events in his life. Claudius is effected by his own action: his character seems authoritative and strong externally; however, because of his actions, he feels guilty and torn about his the immoral way of obtaining his position. In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth's thoughts and actions reveal her grounded attitude. She is a non-conformist because she finds the gossip of the town to be childish and an unjust way of approaching love.
