Hamlet: The Value of Life and Proper Attitude Towards Death | EP 3

  • Summary

  • Ross Garner, Michael Conklin, Maya Wright and Austin Edlow discuss William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet. After a brief summary of the plot by Mr. Conklin, the group discusses the grief of Hamlet at the loss of his father and the hasty marriage of his mother and uncle. They consider whether the preciousness of life is directly connected to its mortal and finite nature. They also discuss Hamlet's famous "To be, or not to be" soliloquy and whether Hamlet's attitude towards death and improper valuing of his own life is the cause of the whole tragedy.
