Comparing Hamlet And Steve Jobs

What is life worth? Or how do you know just how much it yours is worth? These are common things we ask ourselves everyday. How do you see your life’s worth? In monetary or emotional values? In Hamlet, we are exposed to a very scornful outlook on life, from an emotional standpoint. Instead of overcoming his troubles, he suffers within his own heartache.
