Internal Struggles In Hamlet

In Shakespeare’s writings and plays, sometimes it can be very difficult trying to discover the true meanings behind the stories, and what he is trying to express in those writings. I sat for a while trying to determine this, as well as how it could be applied to today’s society. Finally, one major point hit me, and it’s something that we have already covered.

I think that a great life lesson would be to accept life as it comes at you. That can be very hard, especially with all of the struggles we face in life, as well as the ones talked about earlier in this
