Journal Entry # 1 Is Hamlet relevant for today's audience?

I definitely think the play is relevant, even more so today than it was back then. We now have even more murder and tragedy. We can learn so much from Hamlet. There are so many literature treasures hidden between all the "thous" and "thees". So many truths of the human soul are discovered, some that have been buried within us as we have become more advanced and rushed. Among all the terribly hurried lives we live, it's great to slow down and contemplate Hamlet. Some versions are only two hours, it doesn't take that long to sit down and watch one. After we have seen even a tiny bit of Hamlet, it sticks with us. We can dissect and break down one little scene a hundred times, and there are still new meanings. I have loved studying Hamlet, and anyone who doesn't' have the opportunity is deprived.
