Hamlet And The Handmaids Tale Analysis

When Hamlet first encounters it, he doesn’t require much confirmation that the ghost is who it says it is.

The reason Hamlet trusts the ghost in this way? He and others have always perceived his father as a good man. For Hamlet, this would mean that, because the ghost resembled him, Hamlet trusts him.

Have you been in love? Love does not have any shape, It does not look at social classes, skin color, even if your parents do not like you to be with her or him, but sometimes those are small obstacles that do not allow us to be with the person we love.
