Meditation 9

When comparing Hamlet and Everyman there are many things that come to mind that are similar and different. The main part of Hamlet and Everyman is obviously that death is mentioned. Death is not only mentioned but it plays a big role and is throughout each play. Death is known to be unavoidable. That statement is true for all people though. The difference is that Hamlet and Everyman knew how they were going to die. They were told how they were going to die and that there death was unavoidable in that way.
A main difference between Hamlet and Everyman is the storyline and the way each person dies in their play. Hamlet is about a man who has a messed up life. His uncle kills his father and then proceeds to marry his mom. That doesn’t happen everyday. While Everyman on the other hand is just that, the play is about “everyman.” The main character has to deal with everyday things that each person in life has to deal with. Yes those things can be difficult at times, but Hamlet definitely had it worse.
