Babies are weighed within the first few hours after birth. The weight is compared with the baby's gestational age and recorded in the medical record. A birthweight less than 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces) is diagnosed as low birthweight. Babies weighing less than 1,500 grams (3 pounds, 4 ounces) at birth are considered very low birthweight.
The idea of the âtragic flawâ is a problematic one in Hamlet. It is true that Hamlet possesses definable characteristics that, by shaping his behavior, contribute to his tragic fate. But to argue that his tragedy is inevitable because he possesses these characteristics is difficult to prove.
An example of this is found in Shakespeareâs Hamlet through the depiction of the central character. Although Hamlet is characterized as daring, brave, loyal, and intelligent, he is overwhelmed by his own conscience. The tragic hero is defined as one whose downfall is brought about due to their tragic flaw. Hamletâs inability to act on his fatherâs murder, his motherâs marriage, and his uncle assuming of the thrown are all evidence of his tragic flaw of procrastination. âRevenge his foul and most unnatural murderâ demands the ghost in (Act I, Scene 5, line 23).
