Hamlet a tragety that stands through time

Hamlet is a play written to make the mind of men think. This was a play written not only for entertainment but also as food for the thought. This play addresses conflicts that have remained the same for hundreds and hundreds of years. It addresses the idea of revenge and whether it is a right and just thing, the idea of love and the lack thereof. This play teaches all of us lessons on life, we can learn from the mistakes that the characters make to improve our lives. One of the greatest speeches "to be or not to be" the speech where Hamlet contemplates suicide. This is relevant for all people at every point in history. This tragedy a great way to depict the sadness (or madness) that comes from the loss of a loved one. This is a play that focuses on the deaths of the main characters all because of one death that puts all others on eager.
