Considered the most profound English writer of all time, Shakespeare construed literary masterpieces, plays of history, comedy, and tragedy, nonpareil to others. With an ability to summarize the range of human emotions in simple yet profoundly eloquent verse, he told compelling stories that continue to stand the test of time. Touching upon severe subjects, he brought to life, a bona fide individual. His histories used specific elements as a way for the play to humanize the historical figures made into characters of political intrigue. He created a living, breathing characters out of virtually nothing. His work often revolved around a situation and the dangers in politics.

Howbeit, though a series of unfortunate events ensue, the nature of a comedy comes to play, with the fantasy closing in a three part marriage. It seems that Shakespeare offers marriage as the formal resolution to the romantic complications in earlier time, with the events ultimately untangled with the union of a couple. The squabbling of a certain duo, the fairy king and queen, in contrast to one of the earlier, stable love bonds becomes evident as they spread a negative influence around those around them. However after order prevails, the story closes with harmony and peace, ending the beloved comedy.

Either way, Hamlet shrinks from the act of taking a stand and joining the other powerful men in the world of nobility. Throughout the tragedy, Shakespeare references images skin disease, including the situation of the fight between Hamlet and his mother, and he scene of the clown grave diggers. For example, the tragic hero speaks of the body and soul’s “ulcerous places” and “blisters,” while the grave diggers comment about pocky corpses (Hamlet 279-285). Therefore the story obtains a hidden meaning: that behind the façade of righteousness, true ruin and corruption lie underneath. Lastly, one realizes that the play captures the ambiguity of modernity. Like the modern man, Hamlet fails to divide himself to a driven code, which often causes him to stumble. Shakespeare especially reveals Hamlet’s ethical and metaphysical uncertainties during his infamous “To be, or not to be” speech (Hamlet 239).
