Question

Read the summary of a theme that is developed in Hamlet, particularly in the beginning of Act V of Hamlet. It’s obvious that everyone is going to die someday, so people should just get over themselves and realize we’re all the same in the end. What is the best way to revise the summary accurately and objectively? People all die at some point. Embracing death is a good idea. Death is the great equalizer. Equality only happens in death

Answer 1

If this is a multiple choice question, the correct answer would be “People all die at some point”. While everyone is theoretically equal in death, we can’t speak for certain what lies beyond our worldly grasp. Therefore, the first one is correct, as it is fact.

Answer 2

Death is a theme of great importance in the tragedy of Hamlet. Considering the idea that death takes place in everyoune's last chapter of life, it is possible to say poetically that "Death is the great equalizer". Even the powerful king of Denmark, Hamlet's father, was victim of death. The correct option is the third one.
