Reading fiction can help us understand others because it
gives us insight to what other people are feeling and thinking. We feel like we
move through their interactions with them and therefore often times end up
feeling what they are feeling. We become emotionally intertwined with
characters and as a result feel like we get their experiences as well as ours.
In Hamlet, we feel his despair and mourn with him. The betrayal of his uncle
and mother is so vivid that I myself felt angry at them. I feel like in this
play Hamlet will voice many of his inner struggles and the audience will be
there along for the ride with him.
