What are some opinion essays about "Hamlet"?it could be themes, compare and contrast, how i thought about the ending, about any characters, or anything you think that is a good opinion essay question for hamlet

Accepted Answer

In a conversation with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who visit him under the guise of solicitude, Hamlet banters words.  One of the replies that he gives to their insincere responses is

Why then 'tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad; but thinking makes it so. (II,ii,241-242)

So, you may wish to examine the power of thought in "Hamlet" since Hamlet often engages in self-debate [Consider his famous "to be" soliloquy, and later he asks himself "Am I a coward," (II,ii,528) etc.] That is, how much does Hamlet's introspection and self-debate affect his actions/delay of actions and his tragic demise?

Answer

You might compare/contrast Hamlet's relationships with his parents to your own or to those in another work you have read.
You also might write about the role of one of the characters (other than Hamlet, his mother and his uncle) and how the character has impacted the story
