The Relevance Of Words

Reading the last pages of "Hamlet" I found myself extremely confused. Yup, I had to read the last (extra) pieces a couple of times to understand it further. Ok, so before, the play stated that life was irrelevant, that you are only here, the present you; therefore, the “King of Infinite space”. However, we have proven that this in fact is not the case.

As a matter of fact, the presence of Fortinbras commemorates this. This is hinted to us, on one hand by the way in which he buries Hamlet and on another the actual re-telling of this whole tale.

The soldier/honorary burial that was given to Hamlet represents the importance of his actions, that his death, like a soldiers, was valiant and worthwhile. This indirectly suggesting that his disapproval of his mother’s love the right thing to do. Whereas the re-telling keeps acknowledges Hamlet’s actions and life as a whole. Technically, the fact that this already is written word in the shape of the play “Hamlet” already makes it relevant. This ultimately makes all writing relevant but also eternally relevant, which I think is he metaphor behind the existence of “The Tragedy Of Hamlet”.
