Hamlet essay

With the introduction of social media, teens today have the ability to convey their thoughts and feelings on a forum as a way to gain comfort. By expressing their struggles, teens feel a sense of relief by knowing that they are not alone in their struggles. During Hamlet's time, however, there was no such technology. Hamlet has just gone through a very dramatic event, the loss of his father, and becomes very isolated due to the betrayal of his mother and uncle. Due to this isolation, Hamlet's only way to express his feelings is in his silouqueys. It's this isolation that makes Hamlet appear mad to the audience when in reality; he is hiding his true intentions behind a false act. The daunting grasp of isolation can make anyone appear to be insane but it takes real genius to overcome it and thrive.
