Be Hamlet

     Hamlet is an emotional wreck.  His father has recently died, his mother quickly remarried his uncle, and he discovered that his uncle had killed his father in order to become king.  Hamlet is currently deciding whether or not he should commit suicide because of these atrocities that have occurred to him. Though these awful things have happened to him, I still believe that Hamlet should live.

     Hamlet still has a lot to live for.  Hamlet should continue to live his life to one day take revenge on his uncle.  If Hamlet were to die, then Claudius wins.  Claudius got everything he wanted and didn't have to suffer the consequences of killing his own brother.  Claudius deserves to be punished for his crimes and Hamlet is the only person who is able to do that.  Hamlet can also overcome this adversity to apply this experience when he becomes king.  Even if he doesn't kill Claudius, one day Claudius will die and Hamlet will become king.  He could use this knowledge to understand that no one should be trusted when he is king, not even a brother.

     Hamlet should not commit suicide.  Suicide should be the last thought on his mind right now since Claudius is the one who should die.  Hamlet has plenty of reasons to continue and life, and I think that enacting revenge is one of those reasons.  Hamlet should be able to focus his mind on the task at hand and do what must be done.
