William Shakespeare wrote many plays in his time, many of which deal with important and still relevant themes in life, either the comedic side or the tragic side. The plays Twelfth Night and Hamlet are both surrounded by uncertainty, but differ in their central themes and endings.
In both plays, the characters are frequently confused and uncertain, but this stems from different places. In Twelfth Night, the confusion surrounds the genders of the characters, as a girl is dressed as her twin brother. In the final scene, after she has revealed herself as a woman, Orsino continues to refer to her as “boy.” On the other hand, the uncertainty in Hamlet focuses on what happens after death. Hamlet delivers an entire soliloquy on the meaning of life
