William Shakespeare Shakespeare 3
967 wordsOver the centuries many people have complained that William Shakespeare did an inadequate job of steering the readers of Hamlet to a specific interpretation of each character. Each reader is left to decide the true extent of Hamlets evil and insane ways or to realize that he clearly is a victim of circumstances beyond his control, therefore declaring him innocent. Because of William Shakespeare's writing style, the reader receives little help in discovering who is truly innocent and who is as gu...
