I think that the topic of death will have a different meaning at different points in each person’s life. For me I figure that we will all die at some point so why fear the inevitable. After my mom died, when I was 11, I have become fascinated with death. I thought that it was tragic how fast hamlet died not really getting a chance to do much. I think this is mostly because he died so young. I feel like I can kind of relate to him from a child’s standpoint. There were so many opportunities that hamlet missed. I mean was he like in his 20’s. I don’t know but he didn’t get to have children of deal with raising them. He didn’t get to be a parent. There were just so many things he didn’t get to do. I am empathetic to him and his situation. Although it is very fascinating how it happened, I would like to know more about it. Like how exactly the poison works and why it was chose for him to die that way as apposed to by a sword or maybe even a sly sneaky way. I find it fascinating the way Shakespeare could put this together like he did.

I agree, Shakespeare is very creative and dramatic with his writing. Also, death can be perceived in any way a person wants to. But I agree, why fear the inevitable?
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom, but I think it's really cool that you've gained a fascination with something. I look forward to getting to know you! You seem pretty sweet.

Everything happens for a reason if we were to live forever we would mess up the total order of life
I think that death is a messed up thing and i wish we could live forever but we don't have that choice yet.
