Hamlet’smolonoguewau be relevant for teenagers becauseadolescientsmay face the sameHamlet’s life problems.  

The idea of life comes like of somethingdifficultsuchas a list of problems, or relationshiptroubles. This idea can be seen in the monologue or better in the soliloquy (the idfferencebetween a monologue and a soliloquyisthat a monologueis a long speech delivered by one persone whoforgets the otherspresents, instead a soliloquyisspoken by one persone whois alone) in the use of differents words suchas “to die, to sleep” (line 5) and “sleep of death” (line 9), to saythat life is heavy, weary and painful and only with deathyou can shuffle of all the problems. Life ispowerless and the only way to get the power isnot to live. 

Hamlet’scharacteris a teenager who looks at life of something heavy and for thisreason he asked to himselfwhy people do notkillthemselves. He thinksthat people do notcommit the extreme act becausetheyfearwhatthy do not know what i after death. In additionHamletsaysthat die is like a sleep, butifyousleepyou can also dream and dreams can be positive or negative and onlybeacusethereis a possibilitythat dreams could be negative people do notkillthemselves . IndeedHamletsaysthat people are coward. 

As for Hamlet “the pangs of despite by love” (line 17), painis moral butalsophisical. Shakespeare used words refeared to Renaissance’s time when the body wasconsideredbeyond soul. IndeedHamletsuffersbecuse he doesnotfeelhimselfappreciatedbecausehis love doesnotreturned and hispainisalsophisical.  

As for Hamletevennowadays teenagers mayfindthemselves to cope with feelings notreturned so theysuffer in the same way.
