LESSON ABOUT HAMLET

In Hamlet, like in other Shakespeare's plays, the human being plays a central role. Hamlet makes us aware of our limited destiny and the skull becomes the symbol of life.

Hamlet is about the mind in pain; thinking and connecting is strictly connected to pain. When we speak about this play, we wonder if the people who lived during Shakespeare's time react to existential doubts as modern people.

Denmark was considered "rotten" during that time, but what made it such? How is the tragedy born ? In order to answer this question we must specific that Denmark faced the killing of its king, moreover the king wasn't succeeded naturally: it  was replaced  by his brother instead of being replaced by his son Hamlet.

One night Hamlet met the ghost of his father, who told him that he was murdered. The intelligent reader should wonder why Shakespeare used an image of a ghost? What did the ghost stand for? It may represents the workings on Hamlet's mind. He listens to his conscience , which brought him lots of doubts; one  of the doubt is if his father's murderer was his uncle Claudius.
