struggles of Prince Hamlet who is deeply depressed by the death of his father and the remarriage of his mother to his uncle Claudius.

After analyzing various parts and components of the poem I came to the conclusion that it has two authors; the one that came up with the story and the monk that wrote down the story and added a little Christian reflection in the second part.

While the top brass at Enron pled ignorance to the fact that they had no control
