George Barnard Shaw once remarked about the plays of Shakespeare that Shakespeare had presented idiot characters, how could people bear them till centuries.
Was Hamlet such an idiot that could do nothing except making idle talk and searching mystery of life?
Why is this the most popular play of Shakespeare? ‘Hamlet Prince of Denmark’ alive till now after centuries, perhaps more popular than it was in the time of Shakespeare or Barnard Shaw.
It is the biggest proof of popularity of ‘Hamlet’ that it has been translated mostly into main languages of the world. In that natural expression of the eternal truth of human life, in ‘Hamlet’, based on the background of sorrowful ending i.e. tragedy of revenge, that is rarely found somewhere.
