Besides, the very circumstance that the usurper was his mother's husband filled him with some remorse, and still blunted the edge of his purpose. The mere act of putting a fellow-creature to death was in itself odious and terrible to a disposition naturally so gentle as Hamlet's was.

Thus this feeling has more power between fellow-citizens than toward foreigners, between kindred than between those of different families.

But this lacks strength, and indeed friendship in its full sense, has precedence of kinship in this particular, that good-will ...
