I learned that we can't ever possibly understand another person. We become certain people as a result of our experiences. Life isn't fair and experiences cannot be judged as "harder" or "worst"...we've never been in a position other than our own, how would we know? So it's ridiculous to judge because we will never understand what something is life for another person. Even if the same thing happened to two people like both their pets died, it couldn't possibly be the same.

Agreeing with Lucia, the life lessons I learned from Hamlet was that people had to take full responsibility of what they've done. Since everybody was excusing for themselves, everybody got mad at each other and they became unfaithful to each other. What I thought in Hamlet was that people in Hamlet were so eager to gain power and all they thought about was how to survive the society that they were living. By revenging each other, things got worse and there came the tragic situations. Also, I learned that we have to be really careful with words because we should always properly communicate in order to reduce miscommunication. Being loyal (at least keeping faith to relationships) are very important by seeing Gertrude's behavior.

I don't know what "life lesson" I learned but there are definitely things that Hamlet made me think about. I studied Ophelia especially because of my monologue and one thing I got from this story was my connection to her. Her tragic life wasn't every relatable but her situation where she is learning to think for herself and speak up for herself was relatable to my situation now. I am learning to speak up. I also thought about insanity and I think insanity is perspective.

Since I did most of my research on Ophelia's character I was able to get to know her very well and the problems that Shakespeare presented through her character that women have to face in a daily basis. Ophelia is conflicted with herself and purpose of living when she is abandoned by her lover and her father. Because she depended on the men in her life to provide sanity and protection she lost herself in the process of losing her loved ones. If I learned a lesson through this, it would be to never let go of who I am or change myself for anyone else, and it doesn't matter if it is a man or a woman. It is important that we know how to protect ourselves and be comfortable with ourselves.

Moral of the story is no one is perfect and they can't since we don't know what does it mean to be perfect. But we can always learn from these stories and characters since they have some sort of connection with to the real life. We never know. In some point of our life we can also face similar problems. When we also might have to choose which one to follow, our instinct or our evolution. So we can always gather knowledge from stories like hamlet.

I couldn't figure out why Mr. Shakespeare wrote this play, but after some researching for my 6 steps evaluate essay, I figured out why. Shakespeare is trying to teach us that life is short, and we need to make an impact in life. Or else everything is meaningless. Hamlet goes through the same thing, like when he discovers Yorick's skull he finally get the motivation to kill Mr. Cladius. Hamlet before that was suicidal and very indecisive.
