We perceive religion as a way to face the unknown, does Shakespeare's Hamlet have the same feeling? Hamlet includes a plethora, however, religion plays a huge factor in his life and his ideas about death. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the questioning of religious beliefs highlights the inevitable mortality of man. From the beginning of the play, Hamlet is confronted by a ghost who questions all the knowledge Hamlet had about the afterlife. His father's Ghost explains the idea that since he was murdered without confessing he was left to "hellfire" during the day and to wander the Earth at night. This idea leads Hamlet to question the ideology of life after death. The reader learns from this first encounter with the ghost that Hamlet is not Hamlet: at this moment in the play he is still trying to understand where he is in religious thought and where one really goes once dead. Once again Hamlet is drawn to the thought of suicide. He questions his life: "To be or not to be: that is the question: whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the blows and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of ​​troubles and, counteracting them, put an end to them ". .”(3.1.64-68) Hamlet for the first time in the entire play looks at religion and why our lives must be plagued by unfavorable fortune and yet Heaven is. Throughout Hamlet's to be or not to be solilique expresses the emotion that death is the only outlet. Death is a force that people have yet to truly understand: "But that the fear of something after death, - the unknown country, from whose borders no traveler returns, - baffles the will, and makes us rather bear those evils which we have rather than fly to others we do not know? So conscience makes us all cowards.”(3.1.77-83) The masses are afraid of death because no one really knows what comes next This is the first time in the play Hamlet expresses the fact that death forces us all to be afraid. Never before has Hamlet realized that he is a coward when it comes to death. Hamlet not only realizes that he is a coward in the face of death, but yet death is the gigantic equalizer. For example, it is “Not where he eats, but where he is eaten. and we fatten ourselves to produce worms. Your fat king and your thin beggar are nothing more than a variable set: two plates but on one table. This is the end. (4.3.19-28) Hamlet invents this statement to validate the fact that our death gives the worms a place to eat the bodies of those who are gone. Death makes cowards
