Hamlet

Hamlet the play was very interesting to be because the things that are happening to Hamlet in the play happen to people every day just in like I said was happening in the Tempest. Deception, greed, and revenge are all things that most people will confront in their lives sometime or another. The deception is when the new king (the uncle) kills the old king Hamlet Sr. This new king decieves the whole country when he takes the thrown without even an ounce of remorse. This brings up the matter of ethics, which deception, greed, and revenge all contribute to in some sort. Ethics as defined in Wikipedia is the values and customes of a person or of a group. As human beings we all have a ethical code not to kill or inflict harm on other people, this is my own opinion. With that said, then comes in greed which is harming other people around you, so that is not ethical in my mind. Finally revenge is obviously not ethical because getting back at a person for harming you will most likely be by you harming this other person. Ethics is what Shakespear was hinting at when he wrote this play. In my mind that is why Hamlet dies in the end, along with most of the other people. The new King dies, because he killed (not ethical), Laretes dies because he has taken revenge against Hamlet (not ethical), and Hamlet dies for the same reason, and that is REVENGE. Personaly I think that Shakespear writes these plays to be read and learned from in the same way that fairytales are ment to be read and learned from.
