This probably too late . . .

. . . given that your essay was probably due today, but your thesis seems awfully sweeping a generalization. First, because the play is ABOUT characters (or at least Hamlet) dealing with the moral and spiritual dilemmas that stare them in the face; second, because if everyone left justice for the guilty to God, there wouldn't be a play; and third, how does the existence of the ghost (whose call to action starts the whole thing off) fit in with your, or Shakespeare's, or Hamlet's theology? Is its message approved by God? Or is ghostly activity viewed from on high as at a level closer to human than divine? Just some things ot think about.
