Hamlet from the Perspective of Holy Quran, Hadith, and Buddhism’s Dukkha: An Analytical Study of Language Learning Process
The prime objective of this study is to find traces of the Quran, Hadith, and Buddhism in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, an eponymous play. Certain critics term it a religious allegory or religious play, but all of them have commented in a sweeping manner. The paper has investigated what elements of these two different religions are found in the play. The paper referred to certain relevant segments of Quranic verses and Hadith. But the references to Buddhism and Buddha will be in a general manner. The soliloquies, asides, and dialogues of Hamlet with different characters especially of Gertrude shall be taken into account. The main focus shall be on the relevant Holy Quranic verses whose deeper meaning and superficial meanings find a touch in the witty but obtuse dialogues of Hamlet. The paper will further undertake the study of whether Shakespeare has ever studied the religious books: The Tripitaka, the Holy Quran, and Hadith.
