Arts & Humanities - 3 May 2007

We've just gotten through reading Hamlet in my World Lit. Class, and we've been discussing what we think it means, or what Shakespeare was trying to say to us. "Imaginitive Literature helps a reader understand what it means to be human." We want to know what Shakespeare thought it meant to be human through Hamlet, and what Hamlet essentially means and what it is really all about. What are some opinions of you all? I look at Hamlet as saying that to be human is to have that ever controlling force of fate above you, but to be aware of it. You don't have to necessarily believe in fate, but I think that's what Shakespeare believed in and expressed his beliefs in Hamlet. In Act 5 Hamlet himself even says something like that if something is fated to happen now, it will happen, and if its fated to happen later, it will happen later. Could this be the meaning of the play? I've also heard ideas about uncertainties with others and ideas with human emotions. What's your opinion?

When I analyze life, I can't find any rational evidence that there is any purpose to this life?

It is possible that our existence is some kind of mistake or a failed science experiment? Why are we here and what are we really supposed to be doing? Please no religion, only facts and logic. Thanks!
