The Value Of Life Worth Living In Hamlet

Life is Life
“Life is simple, it’s just not easy.” -anonymous Everyone will face obstacles and triumphs that may differ but are similar in many ways. Even so finding the value in our lives will make life worth living. The value of life should not be based on monetary value because it defies the rights of equality.
Hamlet’s soliloquy offers an emotional, metaphor-laden glimpse into the thinking of a young man contemplating suicide. “To be, or not to be-that is the question” is what Hamlet is most known for. He questions whether life is worth living or if he would be better off dead because of all his suffering. From this we can infer that Hamlet is more pessimistic about life.
“Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the
To make ourselves unhappy is where the crime starts. We must try to contribute to the world. That is true no matter what our problems,our health, our circumstances. We must try.”
From Ebert’s perspective about life, we can tell he is more optimistic.

The idea is frustrating but the goodwill of the people takes its place here.
Hewins says, “Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do… It will make or break a company, a church, a home.” Acknowledging to put money aside and that the value of life is more of a moral perspective view will keep the concept of equality stable.
To continue, the purpose of the law is to protect our rights and if we feel that one of our rights is being violated then we have the right to take a stand. Equality is what all our lives should be based off of because no matter what the circumstance may be, we all have the opportunity to find meaning in our lives. It is our schema, how we interpret life itself, that will help us find the answer to a happy life. Just because some people's’ lives are different does not mean they should be valued in a monetary way. The moral perspective look at life will make our judgements clear.
