Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well in Hamlet you have Ophelia who is this woman who abides by whatever her husband and father says!. She tries to make herself perfect until she ends up drowning!.
In contrast today girls try to perfect themselves to please cliques and have boys adore them!. Soon they begin to wilt a way until teenage girls finally feel like they are suffocating and drowning!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not quite sure what you're looking for here!. But I'd say yes!. An example would be that to everyone Hamlet APPEARS mad, but in REALITY he isn't!.

That's all I got off the top of my head, I leant my copy to a friend!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try renting or borrowing the Kenneth Branagh film of the play!. He did the whole play, so it's four hours long, but it's a beautiful production!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
