Death is an every day occurrences but all the deaths in hamlet were not natural or justified. William Shakespeare has written some heartbreaking stories in his day but Hamlet is one of the most tragic. There are ten deaths in Hamlet and not one of them was for the greater good of human society. The first two deaths we infer happen are the demises of Hamlet senior and Fortenbrass senior. King Frotenbrass was killed by Hamlet the first. This was during war time and war regularly can not be justified. Hamlet was in turn killed by his own brother! This murder was in the queerest way, Claudius ( Hamlets brother) pored deadly poison into Hamlets ear. Because Claudius committing such unjust murder, Hamlet senior’s soul was forced to bear the shellacking of the unholy whip. The only death that was not a murder was Ophelia, she killed her self. In most of the world including the setting of the book suicide in frowned upon. She did not receive a royal burial because of this. There was no reason for her to kill her self, she lost a father but every one losses a father and that could be another theme to hamlet. There is not a death in hamlet that can be justified and that is my theme of hamlet.
