HAMLET

There are many elements held within William Shakespeare 's work of Hamlet that are consistent with drama , and support themes of justice , loyalty and love . Apart from these there are other aspects of the character too It has often been said that `Hamlet relies on three different kinds of knowledge to help guide his action : spiritual , contemplative (or reflective , and artistic (specifically , that of drama . Hamlet is also an expression of compassion and understanding , a profession of honor and faith
