This implies that Hamlet is concerned with problems that reflect universal themes, Although most of Shakespeare's tragedies have a universal application and appeal, it is Hamlet which has one of the most direct connection with the dilemma of sensitive youth. The Prince of Denmark finds himself in a world of poison with which he cannot always cope successfully.
