the whole thing is a tragedy!

Well If you are desperate need.. here are some tid bits to help you out.
The situation with Opheila and her father Polonius.. it is a troubled one.. She feels duty to him
but is yet in love with Hamlet to which her father deems as crazy. I think that in part caused her to
kill herself (but that is even disputed).

Let me see any more.. His whole solioquy is a cry for help whetere or not to live. I mean.. "to be or not to be" He has to deiced
whether he lives to see the next day. What the heck that in my opinion is a tragedy. He has to think about living... To lose faith in
life? and in God and in nature and in love and in the belief that the truth will emerge. That is a a tragedy. "to suffer the slings and arrows of out
ragous fortune... To die to sleep perchance to dream.. ay that is the rub" That line is the epitome of the his struggle.

Well I hope that this helps you..... HAmlet is the best of the tragedies of Billy.. so please use this if you can... I hope that I
opened your eyes to Hamlet.
