I like the way that pretty much everybody is dead by the end of the play. The political and personal entanglements are so tightly interwoven that nobody can survive.
As is probably not unusual I went along to the local theatre with the whole of the year group taking English Literature to see the play when the line was spoken that Hamlet would be sent to England and since everybody there was mad anyway he'd fit in unrecognised, the theatre audience much to my surprise erupted in laughter, which I felt demonstrated the truth of the play's proposition.
