Many people throughout their life time have at least once tried to find an easy way out of certain situation. They believe that if they do, everything will get easier from that point on. Hamlet is a great example of this type of situation. In Act lll scene l, he is facing a dilemma of whether or not to commit suicide. From my own opinion suicide is not the answer to problems, people just think it is.
In this scene of Hamlet, we can see how much his father’s death, his mother’s marrying of his uncle, and his findings of his father’s murder have all impacted him tremendously. These are a couple of situations that have brought him to committing suicide, but what is that going to solve? Sure he might be free of the heartache and the stress of trying to keep his thoughts to himself, but it will not eliminate the main problem as a whole.
His uncle Claudius will still have all the power and will get away with murdering Hamlet’s father. Throughout the play Claudius tells Hamlet to get over his father’s death as if it wasn’t a big deal. Hamlet needs to stay strong during this period of time and figure out a way to get Claudius back or how to confront him about the situation.
All the problems that unravel throughout time are what make a person stronger. This applies to Hamlet. He should not commit suicide just because he is in pain and does not know what to do. He should continue with his life and find solutions and answers instead of finding the easy way out.
