        <description><![CDATA[I absolutely believe Hamlet's life is worth living, yes.  Despite facing horribly tragic events in his life, he is blessed in many other ways.  I've seen real people face much more difficult times in their lives and not give up hope.  I'm an eternal optimist!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hamlet isn't led by evil, in fact Hamlet is led by anger and sadness all together. It just seems that the alterative solution to use is evil but really evil has nothing to do with it, it just has to deal with Hamlet's inner emotions. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Some similarities between these two plays are that they both have to do with taking the place on the throne, murder and lies to kep your secrets, and no longer caring about the people who you love. A difference is that the women in Hamlet are very passive and listen to what they are told. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes Claudius is a bad guy. He knew exactly what he was doing when he killed his brother, so now he has the title of king and all this false power. The only way he got to be king was by cowardly killing king Hamlet, he didn't fairly recieve his title. Stealing his brother's wife isn't he best trait to have, all of these bad deeds that he was done, he pretty much got away with until hamlet seeks revenge.  ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hamlet also mentions the mirror in Act III, scene IV, when he is scolding his mother right before he kills Polonius.  He yells at her when she tries to leave and Hamlet basically commands her to look in the mirror before she leaves and see what she has become.  ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I feel there is reason to believe that Hamlet is insane. From the start of the play Hamlet is described as still grieving the death of his father and feeling depressed - I think he has reasonable clause to go insane especially after his father's ghost appears (how would you react after seeing an apparition?) and he learns that his uncle is the cause of his father's death. Not only was his father murdered by his uncle but his uncle also...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Appear&quot; is a good word to use for Hamlet's so called insanity. Hamlet reminds me of myself because he appears to be insane but isn't. Hamlet just wants to be left alone. Come on, if your father who you dearly loved recently died, how would you feel? Furthermore, how would you react towards the world? I doubt that anyone would want to go around spreading love and happiness...so I don't blame the poor, confused Hamlet. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Claudius is a bad guy because he commited a murder and try to get away with it. He also wants to get rid of Hamlet because he knows hamlet knows of the crime he commited. Another reason is that Claudius married and is sleeping with his brother's wife  ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I've noticed a lot while reading Hamlet that their are many similarities between the two. There are so many murders going on to take the thrown. So many secrets being hidden from others. In both books, it is all about the power and who gets the power. They both have revenge in effect with different people upset with the fact that that person should not be in power.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes. His father was un-timely and wrongfully killed by his own brother.  Due to his brother's selfish wants his life had been ended.  Hamlet knows this and is the only one basically, so nobody else is going to believe him or even think twice about it.  That is the only way.  Claudius deserves to DIE. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Claudius is not necessarily a &quot;bad guy&quot; in my opinion. I say this because although he made extremely bad mistakes by killing King Hamlet, taking his spot on the throne, and marrying his wife, later on in the play we find out that he regrets killing him and asks for forgiveness. He says this in his prayer when Hamlet is about to murder him. So he is a bad guy in a way for what he did but we can't just label him as a complete bad guy....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hamlet has the right to feel betrayed, and even to feel angry.  He has come to suspect his mother's involvement in the plot to get rid of his father so Claudius can steal his birthright.  Neglect is a little much since he has been off to college and has been more than nurtured through his childhood and early adulthood.  ]]></description>
