William Shakespeare is peerless in literature, drama and poetry. His plays are often a difficult read, though, even for native English speakers. This has contributed, I feel, to an oversight and under-appreciation for the wisdom he has offered for centuries. So in ST! I endeavor to engage, entertain and educate a modern day audience.
Hamlet finally reconciles the inevitability of the deed that he must do and the consequence of doing that deed. I cannot think of another tragic hero in Shakespeare who finds the fatalistic calm that is the eye of the storm, before he is completely swallowed up by that storm.
