Detailed explanation-1: -He possessed qualities, such as open-mindedness, being hardworking, optimistic, and passionate. He was open-minded because he was creative with his ideas and could take something so small and with little detail and make it into something big and amazing! William Shakespeare was hardworking.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet is widely considered as William Shakespeare’s best play. It is also his most memorable character. Hamlet is an enigma-he is indecisive and chides himself for being so, he hates ‘man’, then says that ‘man’ delights him. For every person who observes him, he turns out to be different.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet is a universal character because his flaws are relatable to every human being. No matter what time period or geographic region someone is from, they possess similar flaws. This is apparent as characters from modern movies experience similar problems as Hamlet. Thus, Hamlet is not outdated but in fact timeless.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet is often perceived as a philosophical character. Some of the most prominent philosophical theories in Hamlet are relativism, existentialism, and scepticism. Hamlet expresses a relativist idea when he says to Rosencrantz: “there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so” (2.2. 268-270).
