Hamlet+Reaction

I believe that Shakespeare leaves many things ambiguous. However, one thing that Shakespeare tends to fall back on is death. I believe that Shakespeare proves that death is absolute by having almost all of his characters die. His characters all die in different ways. Ophelia dies by supposedly drowning herself, while Claudius dies as a result of drinking a poisoned liquid. Overall, I think that Shakespeare is trying to prove that death is inescapable, and the more people try to escape their death, the harder it becomes. His play reminds me of how it is a sin in Greek mythology to attempt to change your fate. I think that Shakespeare believes it maybe not a sin, but a worthless effort, to fight death because death is something that everyone must face at one point in their life.
