Life 101 Shakespeare Hamlet Essay Questions

Questions
Les Brown once said ,"The question is- if you die today what ideas, what dreams, what abilities, what talents, what gifts, would die with you? Think about it" he and the main character of Shakespeare's Hamlet have a similar way of thinking. This quote makes you think, what's the point in having aspirations, what is the point in living, what is the point in love, what is the point in anything if we all are going to die and leave it all behind . These two men have a very insensitive way of asking these questions, but the questions are indeed great questions. These questions can trigger so many different emotions and thoughts. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Hamlet deals with internal and external turmoil, causing him to ask universal questions
Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks." Imagine if when people are in school they are taught these things.What if before someone you were very close to passed you were taught the proper way to handle their death?

This raises suspense and the reader begins to wonder who killed Hamlet's father and why. The reader begins to think is the ghost telling the truth and is so who killed him, and what will Hamlet do about it? These questions all begin to add to the climax. The reader begins to fall deeper and deeper into the rabbit
In fact people actually enjoy sleeping, all day long they imagine what it would be like to be back home in their bed. So why are so many people afraid of dying? They all know death is going to happen but for some odd reason no one is prepared for it and everyone is afraid of it. It is just like a long nap right. Hamlet speaking "….And by opposing end them ? To die; to sleep;/ No More; and by sleep to say we end"(Hamlet 3.1 60-61), Hamlet is asking the reader isn't dying the same as being sleep except you do not wake up. He is implying that dying and being at peace is better than being a live and suffering.This makes the reader see Hamlet as suicidal or not really enjoying his life. In this scene Ophelia is in the room with him and she hears his monologue, and later in the play after Hamlet has killed Polonius, Ophelia kills herself. This could be read as Ophelia taking Hamlets advice ,and instead of her dealing with her fathers death she would rather
