Answer:

The correct answer is D. reason.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hamlet is a person who values reason more than anything - he wants to avenge his father’s death, and in order to do that, he needs to provide proof that his uncle is the real culprit. He is cunning and clever, and manages to get to the bottom of the entire situation and achieve his revenge; however, at the cost of his own life, as well as many lives around him.

He values reason so much that he is often seen as heartless or emotionless - hurting those around him, especially his love Ophelia, who cannot stand who he has become and ends her life.
