Human nature dictates that every action, no matter how selfless it appears, is inspired by a selfish reason. Selfishness is a personality trait that every human has. Despite what people may believe, selfishness is a part of us and is the driving force behind decisions we make. According to the Oxford dictionary being selfish is being â€Å"concerned with ones own interests or pleasure.† People make decisions based on what they desire.

If Hamlet had not been too consumed in his quest for revenge, he could have looked behind the tapestry to conclude if Claud ius was spying on them.
